Presentation Title
Lunch & Learn | Enter Your Leadership Era: A Strategic Roadmap to 'Shake Off' Stagnation in 2026
Session Abstract
This session is for project managers who feel like they’re doing all the right things, yet progress still feels slow, messy, or stuck. Stagnation in projects often shows up as change fatigue, quiet resistance, unclear decisions, and teams that look busy but are not moving. In this session, you’ll learn how to spot what’s really causing the drag, then apply a simple roadmap to reset momentum. Expect actionable tools, fun prompts, and leadership moves you can use immediately, whether you’re leading a team, managing stakeholders, or trying to steady a project in a shifting environment.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify early signs of stagnation in projects, including change fatigue, decision bottlenecks, and hidden resistance.
- Use practical PM leadership tools (stakeholder mapping, communication rhythms, feedback loops, and coaching tactics) to rebuild momentum and commitment.
- Design transparent, lightweight processes that improve trust, clarity, and adaptability, so the project keeps moving even when priorities shift.
