Communication Skills for Project Managers


Oral Communication/People Skills/Written Communication

A technical person becomes a project manager based on project experience, yet communication skills are more important.

 

Yet communication skills are essential when talking with clients, sharing project status, resolving problems and finding solutions.  

Writing, listening, and speaking effectively is what gets the job done on time and within budget.

Course Testimonials

Very good course. I will recommend it to others and will take other courses presented by RGI.

Although this course was just 1.5 days long, it has made a big difference on my ability to communicate.

Lori is a sharp teacher, and it was nice to see her respond to questions and situations. She would get us back on track.
