A flight is a project; a project is a flight
Conducting a flight and managing a project have many similarities. Are you the Squadron leader or the Air Traffic Controller in your project? What if the engine fails right after take-off? Does the pilot understand the intention of the Air Traffic Controller and vice versa? Our speaker is Hugo Kopp, CEO of Zimex Aviation Ltd., a specialized air transport company.

Presentation & Feedback giving skills - crucial competences for project managers
In association with The Toastmasters Club of Zurich
Project managers face many situations, where they have to stand before an audience. They may have to present the project status to a steering committee, motivate their team or talk about their project to a critical audience within the company. In those situations it is not just about getting the facts across, it is also about getting the message to the audience, in an understandable, convincing and sometimes even entertaining way. Today, being a good speaker is not just a nice-to-have skill for project managers, it is absolutely crucial for our profession.
