Managing People for Project Managers

Managing People for Project Managers is a practical leadership course designed to help project 

professionals effectively lead, motivate, and collaborate with diverse teams. Unlike technical project 

management skills, this course focuses on the people side of projects—developing emotional 

intelligence, communication skills, conflict resolution, stakeholder engagement, and team performance 

strategies.

Participants will learn how to build trust, handle difficult conversations, manage cultural and personality 

differences, and inspire ownership in team members. Through real-world scenarios and role-playing, the 

course empowers project managers to lead with confidence and empathy—creating high-performing, 

aligned, and motivated teams.
