Did you know that dancers use the same soft skills that are required to be an effective leader? 

These skills include:  

  • Connecting through good communications, being both an effective leader and follower
  • Maintaining keen situational awareness and adaptability
  • Building a high performance team.

Join Sandy Haydon PMP to explore how enjoying a social activity can be a fun way to experience and build leadership skills.

After retirement, Sandy decided to take a few ballroom dance lessons. One thing led to another and now she owns a dance studio. She has learned there are many personal benefits to dancing, plus skills used in dancing are like those skills used in business.

Presenter: Sandy Haydon, (LinkedIn profile) PMP, Teaching Associate of SPL and an active member of PMI MN has 40 years of experience with IBM (in Rochester, MN) in operating system development projects and working with companies providing software for IBM systems. She has been a team coach with Whitewater Coaching and Consulting, the presenter for a video learning series “Preparing for Project Management Certification”, and an instructor for PMI MN’s PMP Certification class.

Microsoft Teams is becoming Office 365’s main collaboration client that unifies much of the suite’s products and underlying services.

Teams will not replace Outlook, but if successful, it will become just as prominent. Although this unification is good from an end-user perspective, it also creates new Office 365 administration challenges.

In this webinar, Larry Cannell (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director, introduces Microsoft Teams from both end-user and technical perspectives, and highlights Teams’ strengths and weaknesses.

Discussion Topics:

  • How Teams is more than just a chat product
  • Which Office 365 services should be deployed before Teams
  • Why channels are the heart of collaboration in Teams

So you’ve been assigned a complex,
poorly defined project concept
So now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity.

These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction.

  • Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours?
  • What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning objectives:

  1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
  2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
  3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work

When one evaluates the project management body of knowledge, processes, procedures and common practice one cannot miss that the main focus and attention are placed on the planning processes.

Most of PMI PMBOK is dedicated to planning processes, the project management process has only one step dedicated to execution and all the rest are planning steps.

As a result, it may be perceived that the key for project success is planning and that the most important skills for a project manager are planning skills.

  • Is this really the case?
  • In reality of high uncertainty is it possible that planning has a much lesser effect on performance than the common perception?
  • Are the common planning practices enabling successful execution or promoting a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure?

In this webinar Mickey Granot (LinkedIn profile), &  Sarah Mersereau (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the effects of the common planning practices, the importance of execution and how to better balance the two so that the ultimate objective of successful project completion is better realized.
