In this session Judith will explore simple and powerful ways you can experience well being, creativity, vision and commitment when faced with an infinite number of priorities that can fill your time.

• Who are the people you should be spending more time with?
• What stands in the way?
• What are things you really want to do but can’t find the time to do, in both your personal and professional lives?
• What are you procrastinating about that would have you feel empowered and excited if you did it?

This session will discuss these questions and more.

To spark this passion, you will be asked to participate in a personal mind-mapping experience during this session.

Judith (LinkedIn profile) will ask you to share the insights you have gained, and further, to make a contract with yourself to continue the experience after this session. The fires of the passion will continue to burn after this session, as brightly as the intensity that you put into creating the spark.

Judith W. Umlas is the author of The Power of Acknowledgment

“The Power of Acknowledgement reminds the reader that courtesy is only one reason to acknowledge the efforts or kindness of others. When honestly given, it is a reward without price. Indeed, it has an impact that we often fail to remember — a ripple effect that can change attitudes, reinforce the positive, and have an impact far greater than we may realize. Yet, as the author reminds us, it is a simple act that leaves a major impression upon those to whom the acknowledgement is given. As she points out, each of us has this power, and it is important to remember to use it appropriately, often, and honestly both in business and in our personal lives.” — Elizabeth Kearney, Ph.D., President, Kearney & Associates

In 2008, the NASA Academy of Program/Project & Engineering Leadership began tracking trends in project management, in an effort to anticipate future needs. This initiative included an extensive literature search as well as personal conversations with practitioners and thought leaders affiliated with leading project management organizations and associations around the world.

Academy Director Dr. Ed Hoffman (LinkedIn profile) presented annual findings at the NASA Project Management Challenge each year in February. After three years, the master list consisted of eleven trends that could be subdivided into three broad categories of change.

3 Categories of Change:

• the global business environment,
• the priorities of project-based organizations,
• and the work environment for project practitioners.

Dr. Hoffman will provide a brief overview of these findings and discuss their implications for project practitioners.

Measuring a project’s value during execution as well as at the end of the project is critical, because often the true value of a project may not even be known until well after it has been completed.

There is a focus today on paperless project management, where massive project reports are being replaced with highly sophisticated dashboard reporting techniques.

In this presentation you’ll learn how the most important metrics, or key performance indicators (KPIs), must display information related to the project’s value and how best to accomplish this.

Topic: Profiling problem solvers?

Project Management is often regarded as a tactical, logical pursuit. But anyone who’s managed a project knows that tools and methodology only take you so far. The rest, well, comes down to human behavior.

“There was a time where hiring companies believed that having someone with a PMP©, Six Sigma Blackbelt/Master Blackbelt, Prince2, etc. meant that the individual would be a great project leader. Companies have realized that this is not the case and are now starting to develop ways to separate the leadership effectiveness amongst PM candidates.” – Bernardo Tirado (@thePMObox)

The ability to interpret and utilize body language is an invaluable tool in any situation, and especially at work. Managing project teams involves
understanding the true intentions and motivations of your team members– especially when someone says one thing, but means another. Furthermore, using your own body language to punctuate and reinforce your message is a good way to create rapport and let people know that you are committed, competent, confident, and able to perform.

In this interesting session, Bernardo Tirado will present the fundamentals of body language at work. He will discuss the unconscious at work, and provide tips that you can use right after attending. You may never look at yourself or others in quite the same way!
