PMI UK London: Coaching skills every Project Manager needs (Even if you’re not a Coach). 16th September 2026

This event is taking place at University of Westminster 35, Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LS in the Orla Gough Lecture Theatre

Project Managers can often spend more time managing people than plans, yet few are trained in the interpersonal skills that make a big difference: active listening, asking powerful questions and providing constructive feedback. This session draws on core coaching methodology and translates it into practical approaches Project Managers can use immediately: in stakeholder meetings, status updates, and difficult conversations to build even stronger project teams and stakeholder relationships. This session is particularly relevant for PMs who lead without being the loudest voice in the room and want their influence to come from substance rather than volume.
