| | Nov 2008 - Emotional Intelligence for Leaders and Managers |
| |
Presenter: Kimberly Kniveton - Ascent Coaching & Consulting
Topic: Emotions Drive People, People Drive Performance
If you are not getting the results you want from yourself or those around you, then consider giving emotional intelligence (EQ) a shot. EQ is not just another fad, instead recent research shows it is the root source for optimal performance. It's not only what you do but how you do it that matters most. Studies show that to be an effective leader, manager, coach—or human being for that matter—you need not only intellectual smarts, but emotional management as well.
This interactive presentation will show you how to harness and leverage emotions that ultimately drive people's performance and leads to higher levels of project engagement and business results. Emotions are contagious. Are the attitudes of your leaders and YOU worth catching?

| | May 2008 - The Five Crucial Conversations of Project Management |
| |
Presenter: Darrell Harmon - PeopleSmart Solutions
Topic: Silence Fails: The Five Crucial Conversations of Project Management
Major business initiatives, projects and programs fail at a rate of 85 percent when project leaders fail to address one or more of five common project issues. 90 percent of project leaders routinely face these five common business issues, but only 17 percent are able to get their concerns heard and understood. This makes these issues an almost certain failure path for projects. Leaders who successfully address one or more of these five issues are 50-70% more likely to fully achieve project objectives. What are these issues?
- Fact-Free Planning
- AWOL Sponsors
- Skirting
- Project Chicken
- Team Failures
But these problem areas also show your potential to influence project success. In each of the five crucial conversations, just speaking up can make a difference and speaking up skillfully and effectively dramatically improves project success. When these conversations succeed, the impact on the course of the initiative is profound. Those who successfully address one or more of the five issues are 50-70% more likely to fully achieve project objectives — on budget, on schedule, on spec, and with intact team morale.
