Bio:

Mike Roberts is a director and practice lead with Millpond, a professional services organisation specialising in project management and training. Mike is well regarded amongst both peers and clients for his approach to leadership and the way he engages people during project delivery.

With 16 years of experience in project management and training, Mike has developed a unique and insightful perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing project managers as their roles turn from a focus on process to a focus on people.

With a passion for empowering others to reach their full potential, Mike draws from his own experience and expertise to provide attendees with the concepts and strategies they need to become more effective, inspiring leaders in their own right. Whether speaking to a room of sponsors or a group of aspiring project managers, Mike delivers a message that is both engaging and actionable, leaving attendees feeling motivated and empowered to tackle the challenges of leadership head on.

Session Summary:

At the end of the day, projects are delivered by people. Tools, processes, templates are valuable, but if you can’t engage, entertain, and motivate the people in and around your project then you won’t be going anywhere fast.

In this session,Mike will take us through what it means to be an effective, authentic leader. Gauge your personality and that of your key stakeholders, create relationships that form a foundation to navigate both uncertainty and trying times, and inspire others to deliver results.

Come along to hear what Mike has to share (insights and real-world examples) and walk away with some simple advice to take your approach to project management to the next level.
