The IPMA is pleased to announce Mr. Neal Whitten as our featured presenter. He will be speaking on topics from his new book, No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects. All attendees will receive a copy of his new book. You will be exposed to several of Neal’s favorite and most effective practices. Neal’s high-energy and enthusiasm demonstrates his personal commitment and confidence in these subjects.
This seminar will go beyond the basics of project management to reveal leading-edge best practices, insights, lessons learned, as well as answers to key questions. It will give you a decisive competitive edge in successfully leading projects and working with stakeholders. There is no better way to learn a profession—a craft—than by having a mentor by your side. But most project managers and leaders don't have that advantage and that's why Neal Whitten wrote this book. In his new book you will find a wealth of subjects that include: leadership, soft skills, hard skills, life skills, and all phases of a project from initiation to closeout.
Subjects include:
 Asking for help or becoming part of the problem |
Inspecting what you expect |
|
Avoiding making long-term project commitments |
Leadership styles |
|
Avoiding being "too soft" |
Managing priorities |
|
Dealing with difficult people |
Minding your own business first |
|
Duties of the effect project manager |
Recognizing and dealing with professional immaturity |
|
Escalating as an effective business tool |
Understanding the value of a mentor |
