Is it a boss or a colleague whose collaboration is vital and necessary to your success? How is it possible that someone’s mere presence or actions can incite in us a seemingly unstoppable emotional\, defensive\, or petty state of being?  \n“To increase your effectiveness\, make your emotions subordinate to your commitments.” \nA person’s leadership ability greatly depends upon their ability to control their emotional nature. In this session\, Mr. Murphy will take you through an exploration journey for a proven method to ‘un-connect’ a leader’s emotions from an external party’s actions. You will identify the unconscious fears driving knee-jerk emotional states and explore steps for guiding troubled relationships to more productive places. \nLearning Objectives\nComing soon \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Virtual (Zoom Conference Link:  Sent out Morning of Meeting – Wed 3 May 2020) \nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nChapter Business Remarks @ 7:30pm \nMr. Murphy’s Presentation – 7:45pm  \n\nProgram concludes No Later Than @ 9:00pm\n\nNOTICE: We can only support 95 attendees via the Webinar so registration will be capped at that amount.

SUMMARY:September 2019 Project Showcase  (Featuring Ms. Linda Howard)
DESCRIPTION:Project Showcase Topic: Working with Humans: Using the DiSC® Approach for Stronger Teamwork \nProject Showcase Presenter: Ms. Linda Howard (PMP\, CMC) \nPresenter Website: https://howardconsultingllc.com/ \nPresentation Abstract: \nJoin us to hear Linda Howard talk about using the DiSC® model to improve teamwork. \nEvery day\, many of us wake up in the morning and interact with other humans in our homes and in our work. Humans are imperfect! We’re unpredictable! Yet – we interact with each other every single day. Often there are people on your team or in your organization that you just don’t “get”. Maybe it’s someone who approaches everything so differently from you that you struggle to have even a simple conversation. \nOur lives are greatly influenced by the relationships we share with other humans. The quality of our relationships has a direct impact on how we feel about our day\, our week\, our lives\, and sometimes even ourselves. And improving our relationships with those we work with can have a direct and positive impact on how much we enjoy our work\, our motivation to do good work and our effectiveness. Have you ever wished you had your own survival guide just to communicate with the various types of individuals we see and talk with each day? A “Tips” manual might be helpful – something that could offer clues to the unique personalities and behaviors people exhibit.Having a framework or model through which to view the interaction is certainly a start. \nThe DiSC® model is a simple\, yet powerful model\, that describes four basic behavioral styles that help us better understand the dynamics of certain relationships and develop strategies for improving our interactions with our colleagues and teams. \nPresentation Learning Objectives: \n• Learning the key characteristics of the behavioral styles that make up the DiSC® model\n• Identifying your own style and exploring how your style influences your priorities at work\n• Discovering similarities and differences among the DiSC® styles \nPresentation Biography: \nLinda Howard\, of Howard Consulting LLC\, focuses her energies and passions on helping nonprofit leaders improve the performance of their projects and teams so they can build stronger businesses and have greater impact. Linda joined the PMI-Montgomery County Chapter in 2015 after being a member of PMI Global since 2004. \nLinda uses project management concepts in conjunction with the Everything DiSC Workplace® behavior assessment as tools for building stronger teams who get better results from their projects. Through seminars\, workshops\, and facilitated meetings and retreats\, she helps teams better understand each other\, build more effective work relationships\, and achieve better results from their projects and programs. Her clients often share that they are able to communicate more effectively\, start projects faster\, and get them back on track before they go off the rails. \nLinda is Immediate Past President of the Board of Directors for the National Capital Region chapter of the Institute of Management Consultants (IMC). She is also a Certified Management Consultant (CMC) and a Project Management Professional (PMP). \nOn a personal note\, Linda is absolutely in love with the outdoors and can often be found wandering in the woods\, kayaking on a lazy river\, or searching for a quiet place to enjoy the next sunset.
