The Secrets of Facilitation for Project Managers
Project success isn't just about managing schedules and budgets — it’s about leading effective sessions that inspire collaboration, focus, and results. In this exclusive 90-min PMI Chapter workshop, Michael Wilkinson, one of the world’s foremost experts in facilitation, will show you how to lead project meetings like a master. You’ll learn proven techniques to prepare, engage, and guide your team toward shared decisions and successful outcomes.
Leadership Skills and Overcoming the Pressure Myth
In this transformative workshop, participants will delve into the myths surrounding leadership and the pressures that often accompany it. By reframing the idea of leadership as a natural, evolving skill rather than a high-pressure burden, this session empowers leaders to develop practical skills without succumbing to stress or burnout. The workshop will offer actionable insights on managing expectations, fostering a growth mindset, and cultivating leadership qualities that inspire and motivate teams without the myth of overwhelming pressure.
Roundtable - Agile PM (Virtual)
The Agile PM Roundtable is a collaboration between PMI and AgilePDX. This virtual forum seeks to build connections between the Agile and Project Management communities and strives to create an inclusive environment for people with open and curious minds. This Roundtable alternates between speakers on Agile-related topics to a Lean Coffee style format facilitated by experienced Agile PM's and instructors.
The Roundtable meets the third Thursday each month. Meetings start at 7a and end promptly at 8a, and the meeting room usually opens 15 minutes before the official meeting start time to allow you to hang out and talk with colleagues. Please register at https://www.meetup.com/agilepdx-user-group-portland-metro/events/ and dial in from your device with your favorite early morning brew. A Zoom URL will be provided to confirmed attendees. Feel free to post questions to this meetup prior to the event on the MeetUp site.
We welcome divergent opinions and experience reports. Bring your challenges for feedback and support from the group.
