Whether you’re searching internal or external to your organization for the next exciting project to work on, or perhaps exploring the next job as a project management professional, pushing resumes is dead!

There is so much noise in the project management space that you and your brand are simply getting lost in the noise!

What you do and how you do it matters LESS, and the RESULTS you’re able to produce matters “MORE than ever”.

Executive sponsors of projects care less about your educational background or professional pedigree and more about your ability to engage, influence, and get key tasks completed, often earlier than estimated and below budget!

David Nour, (LinkedIn profile) senior management advisor, international speaker, best-selling author ofRelationship Economics and Return on Impact, andPDUs2Go a leading content provider, have developed the #NewNorm framework for project management professionals to help you think and lead differently – your education, your branding, packaging and marketing your story, adding value to each interaction. In short, elevating you above the market noise.

David Nour will help you:

  • Become an Object of Interest, within and external to your organization;
  • Develop a broad base of market relationships;
  • Understand how to impactfully engage and influence Economic Buyers;
  • Gain conceptual agreement on Objectives, Measures, and Value (OMV); and
  • Provide Value-Based Options in every interaction.

What is missing from the creation of more leadership positions for women in the workplace?

  1. Is it that the development pipeline isn’t being filled with young women that have the skills, drive and ambition to advance upward into executive leadership roles?
  2. Is it the traditional stigma of the glass ceiling or the foolhardy notion that a professional woman can have either a career or a family, but not both?
  3. Or is it, as some say, that there just aren’t many opportunities for women in leadership roles, either by design or by circumstance?

Simply looking at Yahoo!, Apple, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard makes it clear that the preconceived notions have been effectively shattered.

Successful, innovative, big businesses have entrusted their fortunes in the capable hands of female executives.

Cardinal Health, a Fortune 17 healthcare company with over $100 billion in revenue and over 33,000 employees, has taken bold steps to accelerate the advancement of women internally, but also in the community and in the healthcare industry.

Join Aida Sabo (LinkedIn profile), VP of Diversity and Inclusion and Lisa George (LinkedIn profile), VP of Global Talent Management, from Cardinal Health on this webcast for a discussion on lessons learned and strategies that are making a difference.
