MORNING SESSION:
Play to Your Strengths! Real Championship Coaching
Mark Adams
There are many business coaches today but not many real Championship coaches. Mark Adams, ESPN college basketball analyst and national motivational speaker, always challenges his teams to play to their strengths and their results speak for themselves: as a Head Basketball Coach, after implementing his strengths-based coaching philosophy, he produced conference and regional championships; as a sales leader for a manufacturing company, his leadership skills helped double organizational sales revenue; and after starting out on local radio and TV in Dayton, Ohio, Mark pursued his dream of becoming a college basketball analyst on ESPN...to date, Mark has appeared on 35 ESPN college basketball broadcasts.
Come enjoy an educational experience that shares how to identify your strengths and your co-worker's strengths, for remarkable results. Mr. Adams shares his successes, his failures and his lessons learned from his own experiences. He creates a culture changing educational experience for PMI professionals that will challenge each individual on your project's team to play to their strengths!
You will learn how to:
1. Better hold yourself and your project team accountable for daily success.
2. Individualize your coaching approach by helping your project team members to identify their own strengths and recognize how to best use them based on their strength.
3. Recognize what your employees really want from you and why.
5. Develop new coaching tools to help you and your team members to communicate more clearly, more consistently and more positively.
6. Gain the qualities that set real "coaches" apart from just "managers".
7. Coach your team to championship level successes based on tried and true real Championship coaching strategies!
8. Use the tools and resources that keep you on the strengths path to success.
Join Mark Adams for this interactive and fun educational experience that will surely give you a few more beg, borrow and steal ideas for your next opportunity to be a real coach!
AFTERNOON SESSION:
Inspirational Leadership
Lee R. Lambert, PMP
It is a disheartening feeling to know that often the success or failure of your project is in the hands of skilled workers who DON'T work for you! You can't control their schedule. You don't approve their salary. But, they decide the fate of your project.
In this session, Lee will show you how you can easily utilize simple tools and techniques to influence and inspire the "loaned" matrix resources that have been assigned to your projects. Real world examples will be used to provide a framework to create a human baseline for realizing the possibilities of influencing those project resources who don't report to you.
Students will learn how to:
1. Enhance productivity and project loyalty while developing high performance teams
2. Analyze their own leadership style's potential
3. Recognize the truth about the follower's developmental level
4. Understand what communication's got to do with it
5. Establish the network that inspires

Scope Management - Sanity Maintenance
https://www.regonline.com/scope_management_sanity_management
Tuesday, May 04, 2010
The Meadows Corporate Center, East Tower
2550 W. Golf Road
Rolling Meadows, IL 60008
As any project manager knows one of the keys to successful project completion is the management of the requirements - scope management.
Whether you are finding that the projects you manage are challenged due to the lack
of clarity around requirements or organizational issues that challenge the project
scope or a combination of both you will find that a structured approach with a strong
focus on mutual clarity can help with your sanity maintenance. Topics to be covered:
• Scope Definition
o When you begin
o Key inputs
o Who else should you bring into the process?
o What to do when your client or sponsor has more questions than answers
• Scope Planning
o Starting the process
o Keeping your team involved appropriately
o How much can you do?
• Scope Control
o Change control management
o Records and version management
• Exercises around four possible case studies tailored to industry and organizational challenges as discovered during initial discussions.
An important part of scope management includes understanding the relationship
between scope management and the achievement of the project objectives. The
Project Manager is the bridge between scope management and achievement of project
objectives.

Powerful Negotiation & Political Savvy: Navigating Office Politics with Shannon Cassidy
September 22 & 23, 2010
http://www.projectmanagementresourcegroup.com
On day one, participants will gain an awareness of negotiation situations, styles and tactics and how to skillfully manage them.

Each participant will learn about his/her individual style (through an individual savvy survey assessment) and gain insights on how to become more effective.
The program will specifically highlight:
• The value of effective political savvy

November 2010 Seminars and Workshops
The Four Conversations: Daily Communication That Gets Results with Jeffrey Ford
November 17 & 18, 2010
http://www.projectmanagementresourcegroup.com
Most people think communication is a broad category of interaction that tends to be riddled with problems, gaps, and pitfalls. This generalization does not solve the very real problems of organizational work. Productive communication is made up of four distinct types of conversation, each with a set of necessary ingredients, which can be deployed to solve workplace problems and increase trust, accountability, and teamwork:
Initiative conversations - Creating a future with a positive focus on a worthwhile goal
Understanding conversations - Including and engaging the people who will make the future real and achieve the goal
Performance conversations - Asking for - and promising - on-time and on-budget results
Closure conversations - Acknowledging accomplishments and building accountability
Most people also think that communication problems are caused by "other people". In fact, we all need to take responsibility for improving the accuracy, completeness, and effectiveness of our conversations. Communication is everybody's business.
The Four Conversations program addresses the daily and persistent problems people encounter at work, and the ways they can be resolved through communication. This program also shows people how to use their conversation to accomplish objectives, expand personal effectiveness, and improve workplace relationships. Some modules are also designed to impact organizational patterns of communication and productivity, with ideas on ways to change organizational communication. This program has been tested by practicing managers and includes useful take-home materials to help participants put new ideas to work immediately.
