 About the presentation: 

In view of the current situation, project managers across the globe, working as consultants or in-house, across the spectrum of industries have a new story. This workshop explores how to message this new story using the “art” of storytelling to engage, compel, persuade, and influence stakeholders. The premise is that most project managers are on LinkedIn and by default (to verify just google yourself), is the primary messaging platform. With more than 660 million members, the LinkedIn profile is your professional and most often viewed “window to the world”. The focus of this workshop will address the ABOUT or story section of the LinkedIn profile. Specifically, how to tell your new story, what to say, and how to write storied content and narratives around your personal brand, projects and accomplishments. As a resource and guide the ebook "Storytelling about your Brand Online & Offline" will be given to participants and referenced during the workshop.

About PM Fair 2020, the digital fair:

Firstly, for reasons that should be obvious to all, this year’s event will be virtual and not physical: we are going online. No physical face-to-face sessions are envisaged. Instead, the congress will be made up of a series of webinars, online workshops and master classes.

Whilst presenting numerous challenges, this also provides plenty of opportunities.

The congress will be spread over an entire week, from Monday the 28th of September, through to, and including, Saturday the 3rd of October. The intention is to offer morning ‘coffee time’ sessions, along with lunch time opportunities, and additional sessions in the early or late evening, thereby maximising the possibility for our members to participate, either in live webinars, or by accessing recorded sessions.

In addition, ‘going virtual’ enables us to extend our existing wonderful relationship with our friends and neighbours, and present PM Fair 2020 in conjunction with from PMI Netherlands and PMI Luxembourg.
