Session Name:

Three Mindset Shifts to Lead a World-Class Team

Overview:

Project and people leaders can often feel at a loss to understand why their team isn't collaborating effectively or why a project seems stuck in an endless churn loop.

These mindset shifts have been derived from my extensive personal experience, reading, and leadership training.
