IT and Telecom Project Managers must work with complex while leading and inspiring team members to do their best. But the challenges of the job – constant demands, stressful deadlines, lack of resources, miscommunications, and hard-to-deal-with team members – can make that difficult. Each additional challenge adds more pressure.

Stress, frustration, anger, disappointment, and worry are normal human reactions to these circumstances. But whether it is your own emotional experience, or that of a colleague or team member, how do you cope with these feelings in an appropriate and expedient way?

Being able to identify and understand the function of normal emotions when under stress, and how to deal with them within a team setting, can greatly benefit your ability to communicate effectively and lead most effectively.

This webinar offers an innovative perspective on Emotional Intelligence. It offers a clear explanation of emotions as an information system, the role of emotions in daily interactions and tools for managing emotions regardless of the circumstance.

It also addresses key elements of strong leadership. An effective leader understands and copes with normal human emotions, managing them in a way that inspires his or her team to get the job done with the greatest cooperation and expediency.

Emotional Intelligence reduces stress, improves your ability to make good decisions, and supports productive communication.

This webinar will address:

• How to use emotions as a resource for important information.
• How to identify subtle emotions that can undermine communication.
• How to manage your own emotional responses in pressure-filled situations.
• How unconscious or unacknowledged emotions impact bottom line results.
• Practical, on the spot techniques for managing stress.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.

SharePoint 2013 The 10 New Features You’ll Love

1. Search Engine Optimization – is TONS better. Much of this is due to Analytics moving into search. This will make Analytics Processing Component in SharePoint Server 2013 Preview runs different analytics jobs to analyze content in the search index and user actions that were performed on a site to identify items that users perceive as more relevant than others.
2. My Documents — My “SkyDrive for Work” – Storing all your documents in the cloud via your MySites was always a good idea – but a bit clunky. SharePoint 2013 greatly improves the MySites capabilities and defaults to saving to SkyDrive. You’ll love the ability to save and sync documents directly to SkyDrive.
3. Rich Workflows – If workflows were a sore point, they’ve gotten a lot better and seem much more able to handle more complex activities including looping and working with webservices (anyone thinking orchestration?).
4. App Store – Microsoft is introducing the new App Store model to SharePoint! Users will find dozens and hundreds of pre-built applications you can easily add to SharePoint.
5. Social Enterprise – Micro blogs, activity feeds, community sites, Following, Likes, and Reputations are some of the new social features being added. The ability to follow users or content will be especially helpful.
6. Mobility – Microsoft has recognized the importance of mobile optimized views for SharePoint. You will see greatly enhanced mobile capabilities.
7. Site Permissions – SharePoint 2013 offers a simplified sharing-based model for site permissions management. This will give users easier ways to manage site security.
8. Themes – SharePoint 2013 brings much richer theme functionality and the ability to add background images.
9. Content Search Webpart – A really cool webpart. This can be thought of as the next generation of Content Query webpart. Content Search Web Part displays content that was crawled and added to the search index via a query. This query is automatically issued, and it returns results from the search index when users browse to a page that contains the Content Search Web Part.
10. Metro Interface – The new metro interface sports a much cleaner and concise look. Less clutter. And optimized for touch devices.
