The prerequisite to attend this session is to watch part 1 of the topic which focused on Self-Awareness. If you have not attended the first part, you are requested to watch the recorded webinar before signing up for the second part. To prepare for Part 2, check out the slides and recording recording.

This session will help you learn about Self-Management, which is the second domain of Emotional Intelligence (EI), developed by Daniel Goleman. The importance of Emotional Intelligence for Project Management Professionals is immense. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) (6th Edition) states on page 310 the following about Emotional Intelligence: “The Project Manager should invest in personal EI by improving inbound (.e.g., self-management and self-awareness) and outbound (e.g., relationship management) competencies. Research suggests that project teams that succeed in developing team EI or become an emotionally competent group are more effective. Additionally, there is reduction in staff turnover.”

Attending this session will help you to manage your various emotions in a healthy way that you experience during the changing time when you are part of a project. By learning about this and applying it to your work context, you will be able to portray a better image to your internal and stakeholders and act more professionally in your project.

You can expect interactions and self-reflections during this session which will help you to learn to apply this essential power skill in your own project context.
