Professional Development Meeting
Early-Bird registration discount ends March 23.
Dinner Speaker: David Lanners, Harvard MBA, CFPIM, CIRM, CQA, CQE, CMQ/OE, PMP
Dinner Topic: A Professional’s Guide to Ethical Influence
This presentation provides valuable insights for professionals with management or leadership responsibilities by taking a light-hearted look at executive leadership, stakeholder influence, and management of cross-functional teams. Those of us who must get projects completed on time to support our organizations will find this presentation most helpful because it highlights important principles in interesting and memorable ways. Tools and techniques developed by masters of leadership will be seen in a new light as emphasis is shifting to process-driven issues. We will enjoy learning from “real-life” examples presented by a graduate of the Harvard Business School with experience-based qualifications from the school of hard knocks.
David will cover:
- Leadership vs. Management in Challenging Environments
- Practical Ethical Frameworks for Critical Decision-Making
- Communicating Effectively with Other Professionals
