NLP for Project Managers - The Skills in a Day

Course details

This is a introduction for project management professionals providing an engaging introduction to the core concepts and principles of NLP in the context of project management.

After establishing the role of behavioural competences across the lifecycle and components of projects, the pillars and core components of NLP will be taught through practical exercises. NLP tools and techniques will then be demonstrated against key competences required for effective project management. For example, as described in competency frameworks for higher levels of certification by professional bodies, through practical examples, tools and techniques. The course will equip delegates with practical skills and approaches for immediate use outside the training room.

Is it right for me?

This course is ideal for project professionals wishing to move up to the next level of competence and anyone with a desire for continuous personal and professional development. No background knowledge of NLP is expected of delegates as the course will start from fundamentals. It is expected that most entrants will be practicing project professionals, but no previous knowledge will be assumed.
