<p>To be effective within an organization, project managers need to have a wide variety of skills and abilities. Included among these are: creating and executing on a vision; motivating others; influencing without authority; networking; communicating up, down and laterally; negotiating; managing stakeholders; and managing conflict.</p>
<p>This highly interactive workshop focuses on building the soft skills that are critical to leading a team and creating sustainable business change. Participants will gain insight into the social science as well as the brain science behind motivating and empowering others. They will learn and experiment with a variety of influencing strategies and tactics. Working in pairs as well as small groups, they will collaborate with others to brainstorm, share experiences, and apply concepts to everyday challenges.</p>
<p>Participants will also discover their personal communication preferences, strengths, and blind spots and will gain insight into how best to communicate with others they find 'difficult.' They will gain insight into managing the people side of change, learning strategies for dealing with each step in the process. Hands-on negotiation and conflict management activities enhance the theoretical learning, grounding it in real life and making it actionable.</p>
<p>Interweaving role play with experiential learning and group activities, this course will help participants refine a skill set that is invaluable to their organization, and one that transfers easily across their professional and personal lives.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>

Project Leadership Skills: In-House Training

General Admission

<h2>Project Communication Skills: In-House Training</h2>
<p>Communication is the single most critical project success factor. When effective, projects get executed on time, within budget, and with objectives being met. But that isn't all. Strong communication also nurtures healthy team relationships. And in today's highly diverse world, where projects are often fast-paced, complex, and virtual, that is more important than ever. Strong communication skills foster cultural awareness, trust, and empathy. Together, they contribute greatly to project success-and ultimately, to future project success.</p>
<p>In this course, participants will actively explore best communication practices from a variety of perspectives: in-person, virtual, electronic, and via formal project documentation. In order to be transformative, however, those perspectives will be filtered further through the lens of their formal, personalized assessment. It is a powerful tool which identifies individuals' internal needs and priorities. It translates those into descriptive profiles and reports, gifting users with valuable information about themselves and others. Paired with the course's real-world activities, it will provide uniquely strategic opportunities for communicating effectively and meaningfully-and with less conflict, both personally and professionally.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>
<p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify basic elements of communication and explain how they affect teams</li>
<li>Explore how your assessment style impacts you and how you communicate with people of other styles</li>
<li>Infer how your style impacts the way(s) you send and interpret emails and instant messages</li>
<li>Analyze real world email and instant messaging practices to determine how they affect communication and relationships</li>
<li>Explore best practices for formal project communications and presentations</li>
<li>Analyze how your assessment style and global diversity can contribute to both strong team communication and conflict</li>

This is because it&rsquo;s a good way to gather a lot of ideas very quickly. It is also a great way of bringing people together and helping to build them as a team. Just imagine the effect on the team and its morale if ideas that they generate are actually used. There is no doubt that people are more likely to buy into the ideas that they came up with themselves.</p><p align="left" fr-original-style="" style="font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); box-sizing: border-box;">Although brainstorming is widely used for decision-making, it is not always handled very well. If that is the case, it can have the opposite effect to the one that is intended. Rather than creating ideas it can stifle them and rather than motivating people it demotivates them.</p><p align="left" fr-original-style="" style="font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); box-sizing: border-box;">This highly interactive course will help learners to make the most of brainstorming sessions and also provides alternative techniques to enliven any session that is beginning to flag.</p><p align="left" fr-original-style="" style="font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); box-sizing: border-box;">Topics covered:</p><ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">What is Brainstorming?</strong> &ndash; A discussion to help participants understand what brainstorming is, and what it involves.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Brainstorming rules</strong> &ndash; A quick look at the very limited rules suggested by Alex Osborn who is generally credited with being the inventor of brainstorming.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Preparation</strong> &ndash; Although many brainstorming sessions take place on the spur of the moment they all require some preparation.

If you are involved with medical research or clinical trials you will need to handle large amounts of very sensitive personal data, and, of course, clinical trials are heavily regulated. The international nature of this sort of activity gives rise to serious data protection issues.
The course focuses principally on the requirements of both the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR and the exemptions permitted by them. It also considers requirements arising from the Clinical Trials Regulation.
Topics covered will include:
brief overview of data protection principles and legal bases
what is a suitable legal basis for processing personal data in clinical trials?Private vs public sector
how does consent (and explicit consent) differ from ‘informed consent’ (as required by the CTR)?Confidentiality vs data protection
record keeping for consent
privacy notice requirements for participants
data subject rights in context
processor (vendor) contracts and third party risk management
international transfers - the problem areas, legal solutions and potential technical solutions
CTR requirements
exemptions permitted by GDPR, specified in the Data Protection Act 2018 and similar legislation across the EU
the Data Protection Act 2018
Current developments in the UK and across the EU
Q&A (normally dealt with throughout the course)
At Computer Law Training we have extensive experience of delivering data protection training at all levels and have worked with clinical trials companies, providing both training and compliance support. Some of the issues do not yet have definitive answers - the course will help you make data protection decisions and justify them.
Course numbers are limited to 10 and the course is delivered on Zoom. Attendees will be expected to use a webcam. Together with Zoom's chat facility this will allow interaction with the trainer.

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet impactful self-help, self-care and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength and joy.  And that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our four-week, live online workshop series, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice one or two tools designed to fit seamlessly into your life (in just a few minutes at a time, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, if needed, and introduce the next tool.  
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”	
“I looked forward to the sessions each week, they gave me time to focus on myself for a change.”
Ready to Feel More Calm and Happy?
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel and start reclaiming your joy, The SHARE Project is here for you. Let’s work together to help you feel more at peace, more resilient, and, most importantly, more you.
Got any questions? Send me a message and I’ll be happy to help! 😊
