Project management is a tough job, and with this workshop, students will begin developing a mastery of managing and directing groups as they work to complete complex and demanding projects. This is the perfect way to learn powerful, effective, and even fun lessons to help you lead a successful team.

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements. However, truly successful project management is more than merely managing project activities – it also includes effectively leading a project team and managing interpersonal relationships.
