November Monthly Meeting
November 7 - 6-7 pm

Harnessing the Power of Adaptability to Boost Project Success

So you think you’re adaptable? But are you, really and do your projects reflect that? We have learned in the last few years that the keys to success are in our ability to harness the power of adaptability. It applies to project management as well when we think about navigating unexpected conditions, uncertainty, and the drive to resilience. The best project managers demonstrate a high adaptability quotient (AQ) with the ability to navigate change and lead their teams to project success. That can be you when you join this session to tap into ways to level up your adaptability skills and help you reach your high AQ potential with project management.

Quarterly Breakfast Meeting - Virtual
November 18 - 7:00 - 8:00 am 

Peak Performance for Project Managers

Our worlds changed forever in 2020. Homes converted to our home-offices and Zoom became a substitute, not a supplement, for human contact.

One thing the pandemic didn’t change? The principles of peak performance. Join Scott Welle, #1 Best Selling Author and Founder of Outperform The Norm, as he shares the strategies used by high achievers and top project managers to be your best. 

This dynamic, high-energy keynote will help you raise your personal standard of excellence and give you an effortless action plan to put into play immediately.

Speaker: Scott Welle

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.

Fox 9 in Minneapolis-St Paul has called him a “Motivational Expert.” and he was recently named the 2021 Midwest Motivational Speaker of the Year. For “fun” (and because he’s a little crazy!), Scott has completed 30 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.

The Impactful PMP in Leading Change
by April Callis Birchmeier

Do you love seasonal transitions? As a PMP and organizational change management professional, I love seasonal transitions for the natural break they provide. Seasonal transitions provide analogies and examples of the adoption of change. Some enjoy seasonal transitions more than others. While I love the fall leaves color change and crisp temperatures, I also feel a bit of regret or longing for the activities of summer. This gives me a great case of the “should’ves”. I should’ve gone to the beach, climbed sand dunes, and picked strawberries. The “should’ves” are full of regret for opportunities not pursued. And yet, I love our Michigan fall season - the bright brilliance of red and orange leaves against a remarkably blue sky, doughnuts with apple cider, and football. Read the complete article.
