Leading Projects

As our expertise grows we are expected to take on extra responsibility. This may be to oversee multiple projects as a sponsor, or to run more complex programmes which comprise multiple projects.

This workshop looks at the skills required to take on this new challenge. By the end of the workshop delegates will have a framework for leadership. We can signpost you to Happy's other leadership programmes if you require further support after this workshop.

Course Overview

What you will learn

In this one-day workshop for experienced Project Managers, delegates will look at the Project Management Institute guidelines for leadership in projects, and discuss and practice tools to develop their abilities.

In the second half of the workshop, we’ll explore the challenge of maintaining motivation in others and creating a supportive yet accountable approach to programme management.

By the end of the workshop delegates will have a framework for leadership. We can signpost you to Happy's other leadership programmes if you require further support after this workshop.

The Small Print

For Face-to-Face Live Online Learning

All learners will need to install Zoom on their machines. Full technical requirements are on the Zoom website. Your link will be included in your joining instructions once you have booked your place — if you haven't received this email then please contact our team.

Each day of the course will be delivered via a combination of face-to-face live online Zoom sessions and self-guided study. You should reserve the full day in your diary for the learning. This will allow you to join the interactive workshops and have time to reflect and do the assignments in between. 

Learners should log into the training session 10 minutes before the start time to ensure that they have downloaded and set up Zoom correctly. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals.

Your active participation is expected: everyone will be heard and seen throughout, just as they would be if we were in a room together. To be heard, hear and seen you will need a microphone, speakers and camera — if you have a modern laptop that’s all you will need. Remember, you’ll need a quiet place to call from and a decent internet connection is a must.

Please ensure you read our Terms and Conditions before booking for our payment terms and cancellation policy.

For classroom sessions

All public classroom sessions take place at Happy's HQ in London at Robert Dolan House, 9 Alie Street, London E1 8DE. Please see our Contact Us page for full directions and a PDF map.

Each day of the course will run from 10am to 4:30pm (lunch is served 1pm to 1:45pm — we offer a choice of 3 cold bowl dishes). Please be careful to arrive by 9.45am for registration and refreshments. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals. If you arrive over 30 minutes late you may be asked to leave and attend another day.

Please ensure you read our Terms and Conditions before booking for our payment terms and cancellation policy.
