Leadership CoP - Are You the Leader you Think you Are? Dealing with your inner Control Freak, Master Manipulator and Saboteur

Online

ABSTRACT

Please note the change in day/time from our usual schedule. This meeting will take place on MONDAY June 6th. This is a one time schedule change - our usual day is the 2nd Thursday in the month.

Great servant leaders are courageous, respectful, empathetic, inclusive, supportive and authentic. That’s easier said than done, particularly in times of stress, change, or unpredictability. Throw a pandemic in the mix and we have the recipe for disaster. We often are disconnected from our “dark side” – our inner control freak, manipulator, egomaniac, bully or saboteur. This presentation focuses on improving our self-awareness and using tools to ensure that our dark side doesn’t become our leadership style.

Fortunately, there are many proactive, preventative measures that you can take to manage damaging dark side behaviors and constantly reinforce the need to lead with respect. With tools and an action plan, you can create an effective strategy to improve your leadership and manage your dark side, even in the most challenging times.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Self-assessing our emotional state regularly
• Proactively engaging to confront our dark side tendencies
• Seeking support to help address our bad behavior early and easily
• Tackling tough behavioral challenges

Innovation COP : Project Management in a Data Science World

Virtual Meeting

ABSTRACT:

This talk is focused specifically on the intersection of PM and data science.  We don't consider how to become data scientists.  Rather we consider recommendations for ways PMs can best manage teams involved with AI, ML and data scientists.  We touch on terminology, agile methodologies, and MLOps.

Healthcare CoP: Work-Life Effectiveness & Health Promotion

Virtual Meeting – Conferencing details will be distributed prior to the meeting

Abstract: 

Work-Life Effectiveness is about adjusting one’s personal and professional life in such a way that a greater degree of success can be achieved in both. Effectiveness is not the same as “balance” which implies equanimity in attention between our home and work lives which is rarely achievable. Rather, an ongoing process of fitting the shifting needs of life and work together in a way that makes most sense for that point in time can yield healthy results for the individuals and their organizations. Those results for individuals span the multiple dimensions  of health including physical, emotional, social, spiritual and financial. For organizations, the benefits of increased employee morale, productivity and lower absenteeism further the accomplishment of organizational objectives.
