Online Webinar – Presented by: Margaret Meloni MBA, PMP
Duration: 1 hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C Free

Margaret Meloni is the PMP that creates “A Path To Peace” Margaret’s vision is to be instrumental in the development of individuals who are at peace with their authentic selves; people who show others that it is OK to be human at work; who brings — and values — humanity to the office and thrives because of it. She wants to create a world where peace and business co-exist.

I was first introduced to Margaret Meloni and her work through Pam Stanton’s PDU for Lunch presentation in July of 2011. I found it refreshing to experience a PMP professional whose higher purpose is to lead others to a path of “Organizational Peace”. – EdmontonPM

What if you treated the next year of your life like a project?

That’s a question Joseph Philips asked himself years ago and nothing has been the same since. Granted, your life is not a project, but you can use the principles of project management to make your life richer, more energetic, and full of joy.

The first step to any project is defining the purpose to launch a project. Is your life so different? All projects begin with a vision: a mental image of how the current status can be changed into some distant future status.

• Do you have a vision for your life?
• What characteristics of your life need improvement, removal, or addition?
• What are you looking for?

A few years ago Joseph was at one of the lowest points in his life, but realized this was not an end, but rather a beginning. He asked what tools, what characteristics, and what skills do I have to leverage to get out, get on, and move forward? Joseph identified constraints holding him back, as well as the challenges waiting ahead.

He wrote his own requirements needed in his life, and created a plan to get from point A to point B. The Lifelong Project is a concept presented to and used by individuals throughout the United States and in Europe. It is proof positive that anyone can set and achieve goals using the proven principles of project management. Learn how with The Lifelong Project!

Joseph challenges the participants to treat the next year of their life as a Project with all the PMBOK phases – Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling and Monitoring and Closing. There were two quotes during his presentation that really inspired me – “Talking does not cook rice” and “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time to plant a tree is Now.” In January 2011, I challenged myself to treat this year as a Project. For me, the last year has been about contributing to the Project Management community by helping other PMPs earn their PDUs and ease the stress of the recertification process. I hope you become challenged to meet your goals this year as I was – Thank You – EdmontonPM

There is no denying that SharePoint Server is a fantastic tool to increase business productivity, but are your users effectively trained to properly use SharePoint’s capabilities? There are several best practices and built-in tools that can increase user acceptance and increase overall SharePoint productivity.

In this web seminar, Aspe will cover several of the best practices to improve overall user acceptance of SharePoint, and will review several of SharePoint’s built in features, such as the seamless integration with the Microsoft Office client applications.

The key to getting users to accept a new technology like SharePoint is to allow them to benefit from the tool’s capabilities, without requiring them to learn new skills. Instead, they can perform their jobs, just as they always have, but have the additional advantages of SharePoint working for them behind the scenes.
