What do you do when you have to lead a virtual presentation but your heart is beating out of your chest and your world is spinning a mile per second?

• … And all you can feel is the overwhelming urge to vomit.
• … And your biggest concern is to avoid peeing your pants.

Your friends might be full of good intentions as they try to calm you down and say to you “Don’t be Nervous.”

• But is calm the right state of mind for a presentation? And
• Can you make yourself not be nervous?

The answer is “no” to both.
Nerves are your fuel;
Nerves can be your friend.

The question becomes what you do with all of that energy coursing through your body and this webinar explores specific strategies to adopt, skills to learn, and actual behaviors to employ to help you feel more comfortable before an audience.

• Learn how to laugh
• The right way to slow down
• How to gesture properly
• And when and when not to make eye contact

This session is for anyone who wants to face down nervousness and find their authentic selves before their virtual audiences. Most of this hour will apply to in-person presentations, as well.

COVID has brought dramatic changes in society. We are having to learn how to adapt to a new way of living and working.

This change brings on challenges in not only what we do but how we do it. Our work structure is different, and so is our behavioral framework for interacting with each other.

This model was designed to help individuals and groups work better together. You can create a lifestyle or a work culture that holds these three behaviors as core elements that improve communication and reduce conflict.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the difference between binary thinking and critical thinking and its impact on individuals and organizations.

The public health interventions targeting COVID-19 devastated global IT spend. Industries facing prolonged lockdowns, such as Entertainment and Air Transport, slashed IT spending in 2020.

Yet, despite the cutting back, COVID-19 actually brings the future forward, if unevenly.

There is a wide diversity in the recovery coming in 2021 among countries, industries and technologies, and an even wider range in the timeline to return to 2019 spending levels.

In this webinar John-David Lovelock, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research VP, Bryan Britz (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Chief Of Research, & Rajesh Kandaswamy (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Chief Of Research;, look at the global IT spending of both enterprises and consumers, delving into three key trends being accelerated by COVID.

Discussion Topics:

• What Gartner forecasts for IT spending growth in 2021 and beyond
• How CIOs approach digital business initiatives for 2021
• Which technology markets never recover to 2019 spending levels

For managers and IT team leaders who want quick literacy on DevOps – how did something born of a Twitter hashtag become a transformational force in IT departments around the world?

Get a one-hour primer from ASPE’s Chris Knotts on DevOps and why it’s important to the world of IT projects.

“DevOps,” like any buzzword, carries no agreed-upon definition and lots of misconception.

In some ways, it’s an odd and accidental term for something so significant and multifaceted. However, the underlying forces and reasons behind the DevOps movement are clear.

It’s about corporate culture shifts, IT worker empowerment, amazing new tools, cloud computing capabilities, and movement towards a new way of managing IT work: unified, agile, and oriented around the needs of the business.

Properly understood and pursued, DevOps holds the promise of higher quality operations and projects, higher IT worker retention, continuous deployment of code and products, more robust systems, higher levels of automation, and much more.

Join Chris Knotts, PMP – (LinkedIn profile) for the executive overview of the DevOps movement and what it means for IT teams everywhere.
