CPA Women in Business Discussion Group

Tuesday 25 February | 5.45pm – 8pm | CPA Centre Level 3, 111 Harrington St

We are delighted to welcome Angela Chellas as our first speaker for 2014 to provide insights on Organised Women and Project Management

We are all busy women.  We know how to multi-task and organise ourselves well.  Yet why is it that…

·         Things don’t go according to plan?

·         There are not enough hours in the day?

·         Communication problems occur with some people?

·         You are constantly dealing with issues or errors?

It could be time to focus on your project management skills! These fundamental principles are not just relevant when managing mega projects; they can be applied to many work and life situations, to help you achieve success.

Come along to this presentation and you will learn some key disciplines to help you manage your work and home life effectively!  We’ll look at women and the achievements made in project management and you’ll learn the theory, however the session includes some useful hands-on activities too.  This is a fun and interactive workshop and you’ll walk away with some tips and techniques to apply immediately.
