In today’s fast-evolving project management environment, technical expertise is only part of the equation. The human dimensions of leadership—confidence, communication, and inclusivity—are equally essential for building high-performing teams.

Drawing on more than a decade of insights from interviews with women leaders and her own professional experience, Sheena Yap Chan will share practical strategies to help project professionals cultivate confidence, foster inclusive cultures, and lead with intention. Participants will gain actionable tools and perspectives to create environments where individuals feel empowered to contribute their best work—ultimately enabling stronger project outcomes.

  1. Understand the impact of self-confidence on team dynamics and overall project outcomes.
