Information Request – Leadership Challenges for PMPs
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010I am conducting interviews and research in preparation for a keynote and would like to solicit your candid feedback regarding these 3 questions:
1. What are the top 3 challenges today for PMPs?
2. What is the 1 critical Leadership skill that you possess that makes you successful during these challenging times?
3. As a leader, what do you “get” that your top leadership does NOT seem to “get”? ex: We’ve all heard (or, said) “they just don’t get it” or “if they would just listen to us.”
For my own benefit, who was the best speaker you have ever heard speak and why?
I appreciate your time to share your insights.
Warm regards,

How to Make Yourself Rare as a PMP
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
It may sound counterintuitive to make yourself scarce as a PMP. However, the economics of scarcity indicate something different. If something is rare (gold or gemstones for example), then its value increases. If you make yourself a rarity in your field, then your value as a PMP can increase as well.
We are not talking about hiding in your office or having the reputation of never being around. What we are talking about, however, is being rare by consciously developing a set of skills, mindset and attitude that are unique to you and you alone. You will find that by doing this you will become a sought after commodity from both within and outside of your organization.
What are some ways that you can make yourself rare as a PMP?

How to beat stress by rebuilding your brain
by KATE SIBER
On a recent afternoon, I was staring down nine deadlines, managing an infuriating case of tendinitis, and arranging care for an ill family member. But there I was, staring at clouds out my office window and plotting my evening run. Procrastinating? No. I was busy rewiring my brain.
As numerous studies have shown over the past decade, it’s possible to increase blood flow
to certain regions of your gray matter, create new neurons, and strengthen neural pathways just by directing your thoughts. Neuroplasticity, as this phenomenon is called, has been used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, even dyslexia. Now physicians and therapists have begun developing mental exercises to alleviate a more widespread affliction: stress.
Being a textbook stress case – stomach aches, a fidgety Elvis leg – I looked up a leader in the field, Don Goewey. The former executive director of the International Center for Attitudinal Healing and author of 2009’s Mystic Cool, Goewey has helped chronically ill patients, families of returning soldiers, and CEOs train their brains to transcend stress. I figured he could handle me.

Can You Describe the Perfect PMO Meeting?
Monday, January 11th, 2010I think I can.
First, let me give you the context of the company in which this particular Project Management Office was operating. It was a mid-sized software development company that was broken down into four separate channels of business. All projects were run through the PMO. Resources from each department reported to the Functional Managers directly and the PMO worked closely with the Functional Managers.
Every Thursday morning (in my opinion, the perfect time for a weekly PMO meeting) we would meet. Over time, the agenda we used was honed to the following four topics: (more…)
