Join your colleagues for networking and learning at our annual International Project Management Day Event! We have arranged for a guest speaker, Anthony Reed, CPA, PMP, and a polymath. He is a former Fortune 500 technology executive with over twenty-five years of global project management experience, to present on Transformative Leadership & the New Type T Project Manager, giving you 1.5 PDUs!
Successful endurance athletes and business managers exhibit the same characteristics to thrive. They manage change by taking calculated risks and gradually expanding their comfort zones. They must incorporate change, manage risk, and motivate people to go up hill at a time when they want to quit. All of this must be achieved in a stressful, challenging, and changing business environment.
Preparing for and completing a marathon is the perfect backdrop for examining the problems and challenges faced by today’s business leaders. While all certified marathons are the same distance, the dangers, terrain, altitude, and weather offer unique and varying challenges. You quickly learn that hills build character.
The manager should weigh the advantages of a short-term sprint with finishing in the long run. You must become a marathoner, who successfully uses their knowledge to mentally and physically push towards new limits.
Anthony demonstrates how he motivated and inspired his teams to embrace change and become risk takers by using the same techniques he used to complete over 130 marathons, including some of the toughest in the world.
