This presentation helps you expand your professional PM communication skills. Communication Management is one of the most important activities for a Project Manager.
As we know, 80% of all communication is non-verbal, but when it comes to the C suite, the words we use are very important and often we get only one chance. This is where the 20% matters the most.

• Attendees will learn how to practice and adopt skills to be effective at the C level.
• Attendees will learn how to use C suite for making elevator pitch.
• This knowledge is a key skill of successful project managers.
