About the Presentation

Every project manager has superpowers: unique strengths that make them invaluable when the pressure is on. The real challenge is recognizing those strengths, understanding the impact they have, and leading with them intentionally.

In this inspiring and practical session, you will learn how to identify the qualities that set you apart as a project leader, reframe them as the source of your influence, and use them to inspire confidence in yourself and your teams. These same skills will help you articulate your value in interviews and job applications, making your strengths clear to potential employers.

You will leave with a clearer sense of your leadership identity, renewed confidence in your value, and practical ways to leverage your strengths to create lasting impact.

Learning Objectives:

·         Identify the personal strengths and experiences that define your unique value as a project manager.

·         Apply your strengths in daily project work while helping your team recognize and leverage their own.

·         Lead authentically by aligning your decisions, actions, and influence with your unique strengths.

·         Tell your story by learning how to craft a compelling leadership narrative that showcases your strengths in projects, career opportunities, and professional networking.
