Real World Project Management Webinar - Motivating others – fresh insights into understanding what drives people to do things the way they do

Gain fresh insights into how preferences drive behaviours so you can avoid the behaviours driving you mad. 

You’re busy, too much on your plate, overwhelmed and just need the team, or Jim, to do a very simple action. You can’t understand why they haven’t done it, it was such a simple ask. Or why they’ve done it the way they have, overly complicating it. Or perhaps they left it to the last minute causing you to panic.  You might end up doing it yourself, fixing what they did,  or responding in a less than positive way then feel bad. Why, you wonder, is it all so difficult? 

 We will explore the emotional brain and how it responds to requests alongside preferences for ‘how’ we approach things so you can make sure the team fits your plan and everyone wants to do things the right way and on time.

Persuading people to do things we need is part of everyone’s role, at work and at home. And often it can feel like pulling teeth. Simple asks get turned into mountains of work or disagreement and motivation disappears in a flash. 

Interactive follow-on event

In this interactive Ninjagony Aunt session, we move from theory to real-world application. This is your opportunity to bring the situations that frustrate, confuse, or challenge you, whether it’s the colleague who overcomplicates everything, the team member who leaves things too late, or the communication that just isn’t landing.

You’ll leave not just with deeper understanding, but with practical approaches you can immediately apply to get better outcomes, reduce frustration, and motivate others in a way that actually works.

You’re welcome to attend whether or not you submit a challenge—there will be plenty of shared learning as we unpack real scenarios together.

Expect a collaborative, practical, and insightful session where we turn everyday frustrations into opportunities for better communication, stronger relationships, and more effective project delivery.
