Date: March 4th. Location: Columbus Main Library Auditorium 3000 Macon Road. Networking at 11:30am, the program begins at 12 noon. Our guest speaker will be our very own Immediate Past Present Alison Mills-Long. Alison's Topic: "Stop Sabotaging Your Own Projects". "Are you your own worst stakeholder? If you complain about things like unresponsive team members or aggressive due dates then you are only contributing to your demise. The effect of the current economic environment on companies in a variety of industries is far reaching and results in increased stress levels of already strained resources trying to "do more with less." It's easy to fall into a mode of negativity given the challenging situations we all find ourselves in. You already know how your words and actions affect others, but did you realize your thoughts do too? Learn what the self-help/metaphysical gurus as well as the scientific communities say about how this actually works and then how to use your words and thoughts more effectively to promote more positive outcomes." Alison has over 19 years experience in project management in the financial services industry. She has been a member of PMI since 1995 and is a founding member of the PMI Columbus, GA Chapter which chartered in October 1996. Since the founding of the chapter, she has served as vice president of Communications & Publicity as well as Chapter President up until her current position as Immediate Past President. Alison is also a member of the American Society for Quality. She is also an instructor for Continuing Education and The Cunningham Center for Leadership Development at Columbus State University in Columbus, GA and volunteers for Columbus Hospice. Alison's approach to project management is about keeping the process simple and ensuring the scope of each request includes realistic, attainable goals. Applying soft skills to head off potential conflicts and promoting a spirit of teamwork is what she deems critical to the success of any project.
