The key to a successful project is communication and interpersonal skills. The use of soft skills in project management was the topic of Alison's interview with PM War Stories in October 2007 (People Skills #8 & #25).
In completing her Reiki Master Teacher certification, Alison further enhanced her use of soft skills in the workplace with project teams and co-workers. Her integration of traditional project management principles and alternative energy therapy creates a unique and effective approach to managing project teams. Although her initial interest in Reiki was motivated by her volunteer work for hospice patients, Alison applies the advanced techniques for interpersonal and environmental situations with noticeable results. Alison has found Reiki, sound therapy and meditation to be very effective in dealing with the stress and anxiety prevalent in our work environments as well as facilitating discussion and decision making in various work situations.
