Your organizational skills as a project manager can come in very handy to a non-profit and you will learn more about leadership in a few years than you will in a decade of managing projects. Leading volunteers is the most rewarding and challenging leadership position most will ever undertake.  What I learned over the past two decades working with non-profits has made me a much more effective project manager and leader.  We will talk about leading with invitation, influence, and gratitude.  You’ll learn leadership techniques that can help you achieve higher performing project teams.
