3. Confidence will certainly propel project success!

“Take A Risk & Move Outside Your Comfort Zone”

DARE: Straight Talk on Confidence,
Courage & Career With Becky Blalock

Are You Seeking Greater Success In The Workplace?

This course is designed to help you reach your full potential by becoming more intentional in your career aspirations, being more bold and confident in going after those aspirations and building relationships with the people who can help you achieve these dreams.

It’s time to take charge of your career!

Through a number of different exercises designed to build awareness, learn strategies, skills and techniques, you’ll develop more effective methods to manage your career.

Based on Becky Blalock’s book, DARE: Straight Talk on Confidence, Courage and Career, this course focuses on three key areas of the book, with supporting research from corporate career experts.

Course Outline:

1. Begin Within – Get clear about what you want!
   • Only you can define success for you. The exercises in this section will prompt your to think strategically about your career, personal brand, skills, strengths and developmental opportunities. Additionally, you will take a look at your core values, goals and legacy.
2. Be Bold – Build confidence, go after your dreams & make them a reality!
   • A comfort zone is a dangerous place to be.  Take risks to realize your full potential. In this section, you’ll take a confidence quiz and set-up an action place to improve your confidence.
3. Invest in Relationships – No one achieves success in a vacuum!
   • Identify the people who can help you and connect with them.  Define how you can “give back” and help others. You’ll create a networking map to help you reach the goals you defined earlier in the course.
4.  Wrap Up
   • Identify the first step(s) you will take to manage your career.

DARE yourself… learn how to gain confidence, speak up, find mentors, bounce back from failure, build a network or allies, and manage others – and ultimately reach your career goals.

Learning Objectives

1. Gain a better understanding of yourself and your personal brand.
2. Identify your skills, strengths and developmental opportunities.
3. Identify core values to crystalize your decision-making and help in setting priorities.
4. Assess your confidence level and take steps to improve it.
5. Set clear and actionable long and short-term goals for yourself.
6. Explore roles in your relationship network, identify gaps and learn how to fill them.
7. Be able to clearly communicate your career goals.
8. Create a personal development plan to keep you on track to achieve your dreams.

A tsunami of change is engulfing every aspect of PPM disciplines.

With the advent of digital transformation, applications and data in the cloud, and the Internet of Things (IoT), many PPM capabilities, skills and standard practices are already being rendered obsolete.

Concern about this obsolescence on the part of PPM leaders is not enough.

They will not find a broad highway to the future. Pioneers and trailblazers will be needed. If they are to survive, PPM leaders must take up their axes and set off into the trackless wilderness of the new digital age, partnering with others.

Innovative thought, experimentation and best practices that move beyond the comfy certainties of one-size-fits-all are what’s needed.

Discussion Topics:

• Impacts and influences affecting today’s PPM, leading to changes in 2020
• What “shape” PPM roles and functions will take in 2020: What’s the same and what’s different
• What new or changed capabilities are needed for success in the digital future

My Christmas Card To You

Written by Tony Romeo Sung by: David Cassidy Discography

To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May Peace And Love Surround You
At Christmas time And All The Whole Year Through

I’m looking out my window at the softly falling snow
that dances in the early morning light
I got my guitar right before me, strummin’ a beautiful sound
watching it a-comin’ down, all around
on the fields and the farms and the road to town

And I’m thinkin’ up a letter that I’m writin’ in my head
a Christmas card to all the folks I love
Instead of lettin’ the postman bring it, I decided I’d rather sing it
especially for you, for you

To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

May your life be filled with sunshine, may your every wish come true
May you find the sweet fulfillment in everything you do
May your days be blessed with the very very best
both now and the whole year through
it says so in my Christmas card to …

You and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
at Christmas time and all the whole year through

Unfortunately David Cassidy passed away November 22, 2017 at 67.
His wholesome persona drew a fan club that was reportedly larger than that of the Beatles.
He will Be Missed!
