What to expect from our project manager training
Programmes commonly draw on the following practical frameworks and topics.
Clear goals, decisions and ownership
Project managers learn to apply a simple, repeatable 4-step performance conversation framework:
Clarify the goal – what success looks like and why it matters now.
Surface facts and impact – separate data from assumptions to reduce conflict.
Explore motivation patterns – understand what drives different stakeholders.
Agree next steps and follow-up – make ownership, timelines and check-ins explicit.
This structure helps project managers run focused 1:1s, unblock issues and keep delivery on track without creating a culture of blame.
Managing virtual and hybrid project teams
Where relevant, programmes integrate proven guidance from Summit Training’s Managing Remote Teams content, such as how to:
Design short, purposeful online project meetings with clear agendas.
Keep decisions bite-size and action-focused.
Make ownership visible (who is doing what, by when, and how progress is shared).
Agree simple check-in rhythms and expected response times.
Trim non-essential meetings to protect focus.
Emotional Intelligence for project managers
Drawing on Summit Training’s experience in emotional intelligence training, project managers explore how EI impacts decision-making, communication and conflict.
Depending on your needs, this may include:
Increasing self-awareness and self-management under pressure.
Using a straightforward EI communication model for tough conversations.
Recognising and managing emotional triggers in stakeholder meetings.
Restoring trust after mistakes or delays.
These skills help project managers navigate complex stakeholder environments while maintaining productive relationships.
Communication and influence
Many project challenges are ultimately communication challenges.
Project manager training can incorporate elements from Summit Training’s communication skills training and influencing skills programmes, helping project managers to:
Present complex project information clearly and concisely.
Ask better questions to reveal risks, constraints and hidden concerns.
Use precise, non-blaming language when addressing slippage.
Build alignment around priorities, even where interests differ.
Develop high performing project managers.
