Networking for Project Managers | Free

A PMI-CWCC Webinar on Networking for Project Managers

Networking for project managers rarely feels natural, even though PMs already use the core skills it requires: stakeholder mapping, active listening, and building trust under pressure. Those same skills tend to go quiet the moment you step outside your
immediate team, which is exactly where your next contract, your influence, and your next promotion are decided.

This one-hour PMI Canadian West Coast Chapter webinar on networking for project managers, featuring Hannah Flostrand, closes that gap.

This one-hour PMI Canadian West Coast Chapter webinar, featuring Hannah Flostrand, closes that gap. You’ll walk away with a simple, repeatable Three Questions framework to open and guide any professional conversation, real scenarios showing it in action, and a 7-Day Challenge to turn it into a habit, starting the same week.

💡 What You’ll Learn

In this session, Hannah Flostrand reframes networking as a project-management skill and gives you a tool you can apply immediately. You’ll leave with:

• 🔄 A practical reframe to see the networking abilities you already use inside projects (stakeholder mapping, active listening, connecting the dots, credibility under pressure)
• ❓ The Three Questions framework: a structured, low-pressure way to open and guide any professional conversation
• 🎭 Real scenarios applying the framework to a PMI mixer, a guarded new stakeholder, and a coffee chat in an unfamiliar field
• 📅 A 7-Day Networking Challenge: concrete actions to turn the framework into a habit

👥 Who Should Attend

This webinar is built for anyone who wants networking for project managers to feel structured rather than improvised. It’s especially useful for:

• Project managers, coordinators, and PMOs building relationships beyond their core team
• PMI members preparing for career moves, new contracts, or larger roles
• Internationally trained professionals and newcomers building a professional network in Canada from scratch
• Anyone who networks well with their team but freezes outside it

No prior networking “talent” is assumed. The whole point is that you already have the underlying skill.
