THE B2B DIVISION TORONTO LEARNING SERIES EVENT:
When Projects Go “Pear-shaped”

Monday, November 21, 2011
6:00 PM
Scallywags, 11 St.Clair Avenue West, 2nd floor

We’ve all had one - a project that goes pear-shaped! It’s never about us, of course - but is it? A Harvard Business Review study concluded that 87% of business issues are due to the lack of inter-personal communication skills, not the competencies of the parties involved.

Paul Fini, a consultant in team facilitation, will provide some insight as to what & why people can be so difficult with each other. He will look at contributing factors such as psychological preferences and limiting belief systems, and will provide a model for giving feedback.

Paul welcomes the opportunity to provide some practical advice to your specific situations, including the times when the difficult team member happens to be the customer or client!

Paul Fini is a consultant in organization development and effectiveness, supporting people, creating inspiration and enabling growth. He builds interpersonal competence through personal and professional coaching, and conflict resolution. And, he helps organizations achieve their growth objectives by providing senior teams and leaders with professional development and facilitation services.

Cost:
