Satellite Meeting - March 2018: The One Thing You Need: Making the Jump from Project Manager to Authentic Leader

Free for all NCPMI members and $5 for non-members

Abstract:

How will I make the jump to the next level? It’s easy to lose our sense of value in the midst of growing corporate and business complexity. Every day we deal with overwhelming technology, rising expectations, and so much competition for management roles. What is it about some people that enable them to advance, be recognized, and accomplish their career development goals? Do I have what it takes to be a true leader? Why would someone pick me first? Is attaining my true destiny at work just a pipe dream?

This is an opportunity to step back, take a breath, renew your perspective, and receive a deeper level of advice, through story and experience, about moving forward and breaking through in your career. The goal of this talk will be to inspire you toward the most important work, the career that is waiting for you.

Learning Objectives:

• How to overcome being stuck in my career.

• What is the ONE THING I can do, every day, to be successful?

• How to reconcile my work with my authentic self to create competitive advantage.
