In this premium episode we are going to continue to develop project leadership skills. But not just anybody’s skills. We are focusing on what you and I can do as project leaders in order to enable our own project teams to take more leadership responsibilities. After all, one important trait of a project leader is that she or he helps others on the road to leadership. We'll also learn some tips you can use to grow your leadership skills as well.

My guest is Andy Kaufmann, PMP from The  Institute for Leadership Excellence & Development (www.i-leadonline.com and www.peopleandprojectspodcast.com). In the last episode of our leadership podcasts series, all our premium listeners received a free copy of his two Leadership Appraisal worksheets.

In this premium episode of The PM Podcast we you get to hear more of Wayne Turmel’s wisdom on improving your presentations.

But not just any kind of presentations... Remember that Wayne is the president of www.greatwebmeetings.com, which means, that the one thing he knows more about than most of us is... well... how to lead great web meetings and how to ensure that our virtual meetings are  without mistakes. That’s why my first question to Wayne is what he thinks are the greatest mistakes we make when giving virtual presentations.

The we will once again open up his latest book “#PRESENTATION tweet - 140 Ways to Present with Impact” https://www.happyabout.com/thinkaha/presentationtweet01.php and we will look in detail at a dozen or so tips on virtual presentations in more detail.
