Effective Client Relations
Instructor: , Instructor, Edward
J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University;
Director, Professional Development Institute
Planners and public policy professionals are only
successful to the extent that they can convince and persuade. Students
in this course will learn better ways to influence all types of
“clients” -- paying customers, stakeholders, supervisors,
colleagues and community members. This class is equally valuable
to any policy or planning professional in the private, public or
nonprofit sector. In this class, we use the term “client”
to refer to anyone who does not report to you as an employee –
i.e., clients, colleagues, supervisors and elected officials. This
course is for any planning, development or policy professional who
wants to work more effectively and collaboratively with clients.
Leadership
Skills for Planners

gets done on time and on budget. But to motivate others to act or
to build a team that will work to its full potential requires leadership
skills. This course explores various issues in organizing, motivating,
guiding and coaching planners, clients, and supervisors.
This course is best suited for managers and directors of planning
organizations, as well as project team leaders; and planners seeking
to move into management roles.

environmental or engineering issues related to brownfields.

of life in older urban areas.

Municipal Land Use Law and Council on Affordable Housing. The course
covers many of the areas of knowledge required for the Professional
Planner license in New Jersey.
