Stay<strong>in</strong>g focused under pressure<br />

Female leaders face unique challenges <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Project</strong><br />

<strong>Management</strong> profession. In particular, sudden and / or<br />

constant changes can throw project teams off course<br />

and demand extra effort from project leaders to realign<br />

the projects direction. Through chang<strong>in</strong>g goal posts and<br />

priorities, project leaders need to engage with stakeholders,<br />

implement changes, and still deliver projects on time and<br />

with<strong>in</strong> budget. Lisa believes the key to achieve this is stay<strong>in</strong>g<br />

resilient to pressure and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g focus on the end goal. In<br />
