Have you ever had a sponsor or client be excited for their own project, then suddenly reverse direction on you? Have you ever inherited “problem” team members or acquired well-intentioned resources that never seem to have the time to devote to the project?

It’s no wonder in today’s hectic environment that it can be challenging to navigate through your projects.  With teammates, clients, and sponsors spread thin on multiple projects and pulled in many directions, you need them to focus, give their enthusiastic support, and demonstrate commitment for successful project outcomes. You need to generate and sustain buy-in, which requires a “special” set of skills.

Designed specifically for busy professionals who need immediate high impact, this course will provide practical and applicable skills to help you establish and hold lasting buy-in and dedication for your projects from all levels.  

Don’t lose team members along the way to other initiatives. Learn key skills to keep all stakeholders engaged and focused on your projects from initiation to closeout.

Some recent comments include:

• "I just used some of the information you talked about at lunch with a client and they were blown away….can I buy you a drink after class to thank you?"
• “One of the best presentations I’ve had the pleasure to participate in”
•  “I was not sure exactly what to expect other than learn some tools to get buy-in.  But I believe I am taking away more than that ... Overall, this was a great course."
