Communications and Public Speaking CoP: The Decision to Win
Speech Title: The Deicision to Win
Abstract:
In 1996, I competed and finished as one of the Finalists at the International Speech Contest. We compete in business, school and life everyday... often with the thought of being #1 in our industry, class or surroundings.… What does it take to win? Is it focus... skill… spirituality... luck… or is it something we decide to do everyday -- make life choices based on who we are? Allow me to share the real lessons learned from going to and competing in the Finals in the International Speech Contest. Lessons that will help you move forward in your life and career as the winner you are.
Learning Objectives:
- Leaders will better understand their personal impact on their team success. I call it a Personal WIN (What I Need)
- People will come away with a sense of responsibility and self-worth that facilitates cooperation at a new level
- An immediate positive change in atmosphere in your group

Chapter Meeting – July 2023: Decision-Making in the Age of BIG-DATA

Abstract:
Today, in the face of information overload, and choice overload, our decision-making tends to become overly influenced by personal biases, intuition, prior experience, illusions, and perception.
This workshop will help you recognize, and identify the Perils & Pitfalls of Decision-Making; and make you aware of the Decision-Contamination, and Decision-Manipulation. Finally, we will get an insight into Analytical Decision-Making, as a remedy. We will also present the tools, and techniques, available to make decisions that are timely, consistent, optimal, and defensible.
The greatest misunderstanding about negotiating is that it is adversarial in nature. In reality, it is a problem-solving process where each side sees the other as a potential partner – it is not designed for those with a trial or debating mentality.
After this one-hour session, learners will be able to:
- Recognize human irrationality and illusions that creep into decision making
- Understand key factors that impact decision making
- Make bid-evaluation and vendor-selection defensible

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
