From the President's Desk

Greetings PMIGL Members and Happy February!

Patera,Michele-2022ed.jpgOn the 20th of this month, National Leadership Day is celebrated.

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence. 

Are you looking for a way to increase your Professional Development focused on Leadership? If so, then I invite you to consider registering for our upcoming face to face Annual Spring Symposium in April. This best-in-class event is an excellent way to gain valuable Leadership insights and also network with our PM community.

Thanks for your membership,

Michele Patera

Welle,Scott2023.jpgOutperformers are not born; they’re made. We ALL have the capacity to “raise our game,” and Scott Welle has spent more than 15 years helping people do this, personally and professionally. Scott’s 9 best selling books, articles, videos, podcasts and online programs inspire hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. He has a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology, is an adjunct professor at St. Olaf University and was recently named the 2021 Midwest Motivational Speaker of the Year. For “fun” (and because he’s a little crazy!), he’s completed 31 marathons, 5 Ironman triathlons, a 100-mile ultra marathon, and serves others by showing them how to tap into the mindset of challenging their self-limiting beliefs and aspiring to be their best every day.
