This accelerated learning workshop is hands-on, and uses a new way of teaching accounting. The emphasis is on accounting as a language for non-accountant type people. Accounting Comes Alive uses colors, props and a special sequence to engender deep understanding. Described by some as "accounting for us right-brained folk", this powerful and unique workshop will help you better understand how to read, interpret and communicate financial information. The instructors are committed to empowering participants by facilitating true understanding, as opposed to rote recall. Feedback from student evaluation forms show the class is fast, effective and fun, with no lecture mode, complex theory or prolonged study.

It is suitable for the professional who:

• Wants to really understand basic accounting principles

• Needs to know how to compile and analyze financial statements.

• Is a member of a project team (i.e. support staff, sr. management, project leads, PMPs)

• Wants to be more confident when discussing the financial status of projects with your team, sr. management and customers

• Wants to be able to make better business decisions

• Wants to understand the concepts behind Earned Value Management

How often do you feel over-stressed, overworked, and off-track in meeting your project goals? How often do you feel like you're in a no-win situation, uncertain of how management will view your efforts and project results? That's why negotiation is the key to success for project management professionals. With Power Negotiation skills, you can start any project with a strong foundation, and minimize the guesswork that can overwhelm and plague your day and leave you off-balance. Unlike sales negotiating skills that have a clear target and an end contract, project negotiations require multi-level thinking to identify key targets and create agreements. Not all sales negotiating techniques work in a project negotiation context. For example, you can't be prepared to walk away from the table unless you're willing to walk away from your job. In this interactive class, you will learn more than the technical skills you need to negotiate for project scope, resources, and support; you will learn the subtle art of the project negotiation process. During class you will build a practical negotiation portfolio that you can immediately apply to your own negotiations.

You will learn how to:

• Uncover your key negotiating targets

• Identify key players and the stake they hold in the project

• Segment buy-in points

• Map project impact

• Strategically stage the negotiation flow

• Use tactical maneuvers to maintain meeting control

• Solidify agreements
