How to be a Chameleon: The key to Project Success

Successful delivery of any project requires you to communicate with, manage and influence people at all levels, both inside and outside your organization.  Yet they all speak different “languages”.  And worse yet there isn’t a roadmap, translation guide or hint sheet to tell you how to relate to each so that you can be successful.

This presentation will discuss how to identify your target audience, determine the communication styles and methods that works best for them and how to adapt your message, motivations methods and your style for optimum success.  We will also discuss how to build a relationship with your sponsor and leverage your influence with them to set your project up for success. 

The major points to be covered include:

1. Defining what a Chameleon is in the project world and why it is important
2. Defining and discussing the various target audiences and the keys to success for working with each
3. The skills and dos/don’ts needed to be a Chameleon and the typical roadblocks
4. Examples you can use immediately to become more effective

Learn how to recognize and adapt to everyone in your project world to optimize your leadership and messaging for project success.
