Chapter Meeting – Finding, Feeling and Fueling Your Purpose
Chapter Meeting
Topic: Finding, Feeling and Fueling Your Purpose
Purpose and passion fuels performance, retention, and many other things. Yet most team members struggle to connect the dots on seeing their purpose in action. The impact they make. How the work they do truly matters to the team, organization, client and other key stakeholders.
As a leader and individual contributor, how do you help people see the difference they make? How do you recognize them in ways that matter? In this session, we’ll share specific ways our top leaders achieve this that are easy to implement on any team!

The meetings always start with introductions and usually a solicitation for topics that affect project managers in the public sector. These meetings are worth 1 PDU to PMPs, and can be extremely valuable and fun.

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
