Navigating Change with Confidence: Human-centered Strategies for Digital Project Managers
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM PT
As a digital project manager, you’re often stuck in the middle—juggling shifting priorities, managing stakeholder expectations, and keeping teams aligned, all while navigating constant change. It’s exhausting. But what if managing change wasn’t just another burden? What if you had the tools to make change feel easier, not harder?
This 4-hour interactive workshop will help you do more with less by uncovering misalignment in the three core areas that make or break change: communication, collaboration, and culture. When teams struggle with change, it’s rarely the change itself that’s the issue—it’s the friction caused by poor communication, unclear collaboration, and misaligned expectations. We’ll explore simple, practical strategies to identify and address these pain points before they derail your projects.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
Pinpoint hidden misalignments that slow down change and create unnecessary stress.
Use the Teamangle communication, collaboration, and culture framework to get teams and stakeholders working together more effectively.
Turn resistance into alignment by clarifying expectations, improving transparency, and fostering trust.
Develop a lightweight, actionable approach to confidently managing change—without adding more to your plate.
Re-evaluate and refine processes to ensure smoother change management, using a practical exercise you can apply immediately with your team.
If you’re tired of feeling like change is something that happens to you instead of something you can manage with ease, this workshop will give you the mindset and tools to take control. Because when teams are aligned, change isn’t a burden—it’s an opportunity.
