CANCELLED: Book Club - Dec 2018: Grit by Angela Duckworth

Harris Teeter Bar

Join us for an evening of fun and share in the discussion of Angela Duckworth’s book 

"In this book, Duckworth, whose TED talk has been viewed more than eight million times, brings her lessons to the reading public.  At the University of Pennsylvania’s Duckworth Lab, grit is gender-neutral. It’s self-control and stick-to-it-iveness. The two big ideas about grit that have made Duckworth famous are first, that it predicts success more reliably than talent or I.Q.; and second, that anyone, man or woman, adult or child, can learn to be gritty."

Higher Education CoP December 2018 Critical Soft Skills for Project Managers

Webinar

Who is responsible for resolving conflicts, people management, and stress management? The project manager of course! Soft skills development is a critical part of project management. There is more to project management than meets the eye. As a project manager, it has never been enough to be technically adept. You have to excel at soft skills as well. Soft skills are the personality traits, attitudes, habits, and behaviors you display when working with others. This webinar will provide information on how soft skills are utilized in project management, receiving and giving feedback, and when and how to flex communication styles.
