(copy)Negotiation Without Authority. Practical Influence Skills for Project Professionals

Effective stakeholder management is not about sending more emails, scheduling more meetings, or saying “yes” to every request. Most project issues begin long before execution—with unclear expectations, hidden assumptions, emotional reactions, and the fear of saying “no.”

This workshop gives participants practical, real-world tools to understand stakeholders, align expectations from the beginning, and communicate with clarity throughout the project lifecycle. Through a hands-on scenario, participants experience how misalignment turns into conflict—and learn how to prevent this from happening in their own projects.

By combining structured communication techniques, expectation-setting methods, and a simple framework for saying “no” professionally, this workshop helps project professionals reduce friction, avoid surprises, and build relationships based on trust instead of tension. Participants leave with strategies they can apply the very next day to manage stakeholders with confidence—without drama.

We will explore:

• Why stakeholder management makes or breaks projects

• Expectations x Reality

• Why PM struggles with stakeholders

• Understanding stakeholders

• Foundations of Stakeholders Influence

• Group Dynamic

• Conflict Management

• How to Say No Professionally
