Overview

Project management is the art and science of getting results by following a roadmap laid down to turn customers desires into concrete products and services by following established procedures in a defined sequence.

The Project Management Institute brought active practitioners together to produce the Project Management Body of Knowledge, PMBOK, which is used around the world on all sorts of projects of varying sizes, with or without software support tools.

PMBOK definition: A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. It is temporary because every project has a definite beginning and a definite end. It is Unique because the product or service delivered is different from others. Organizations use projects to achieve their strategic needs, which cannot be attained through normal operational means.

Dr. Joseph Juran, a founder of the quality movement, provides another definition:

A project is a problem scheduled for solution. The key to a successful project is beginning with a clear definition of the business problem: What is the gap between what we have and what we want?

Why you should Attend

In today's world, many operations once performed by specialists are assigned to non-specialists as 'projects.' However, most professionals have not received training or tools to help them manage projects efficiently and effectively. The 'project' is added to an already full schedule, major decisions have been made elsewhere, and you have no 'team' to carry out the work. Many projects fail because they have no focusing definition, which leads to scope creep, missed deadlines, and blown budgets. More time is consumed in solving these problems and firefighting.

Risks and contingency plans are often ignored.

Without the basic tools of project management, people focus on a series of tasks and a To-Do list. Priorities get missed in favor of someone else's urgent agenda. More time is lost chasing down information and reinventing the wheel. Without the formal discipline of project management, it's hard to accomplish what is necessary and keep all your stakeholders satisfied.

Avoid these predictable pitfalls, use project management basics and bring your projects in successfully, efficiently, and effectively with results the stakeholders want.

As a result of this educational program, Non-Project Managers will be able to:

• Plan, execute, and manage projects more effectively and efficiently
• Solve business problems

Overview

All investors and money managers know that investing has risks. A primary aspect of investing is managing investment performance risk and doing so in the context of one's risk/return objectives.

Firstly, the presentation defines investment risk in general terms.

Investment performance risk is a multifaceted subject and it must be understood with respect to the causes of investment risk, the degree of risk present in a portfolio or single investment, the correlation of risk undertaken relative to  an investor’s risk/return objectives and the consequences of inappropriate or misunderstood levels of investment risk when an investment manager is engaged or one is managing their own investments.

Next, the presentation examines investment performance risk from both the perspective of the investor and from the perspective of the money manager.

An investor managing one's own investments must understand the various risk generating aspects of one’s portfolio and individual investment decisions as well as the extent the contribution of the investment risk taken will contribute to the return objective of a portfolio or an individual investment. The investment performance risk and return objectives of a portfolio should be viewed continuously within a defined timeframe.

When employing a money manager to manage one's investments, it is equally important that the risk elements to present in the management of a portfolio be well defined and understood, addressed in guidelines, and be consistent with the investor’s portfolio performance objectives.   

One of the elements contributing to investment performance risk is the presence of leverage. The use of leverage can be an important means of enhancing the return of a portfolio, but it can also dramatically increase the performance risk of a portfolio.

Leverage is frequently a misunderstood investment management component of a portfolio strategy and this presentation will provide an in depth look at leverage with respect to the understanding of leverage, its identification, the degree of leverage present in a portfolio and the methods by which leverage can be created.

Why you should Attend

To gain an in depth understanding of investment performance risk and how to address it as an individual investor, as an investment management firm and in an investor/money manager relationship. Particular focus is given to the relationship of investors and their money managers and the attention that must be given to the portfolio components generating investment performance risk, their management and their consistency with an investor's objectives.

Portfolio management is quite complex. Breaking down, understanding and managing the elements that can generate investment performance risk is critical. An investment portfolio over its life is managed in many different economic and financial environments and the elements producing risk to a portfolio must be managed in the context of changing environments.

In addition, investors are frequently introduced to individual structured investments and hereto, an investor must be able to dissect and understand the risks of a standalone structured investment and effectively evaluate the risk/return profile of the investment.

Areas Covered in the Session

• Understanding Investment Risk relative to:
  • Absolute risk/return objectives
  • Relative risk/return objectives
• Establishing performance targets or performance benchmarks
• Evaluating Investment performance risk from the perspective of:
  • The investor
  • The money manager
• Nature of an investor and money manager relationship
  • Discretionary
  • Non-discretionary
• Consequences of investment performance risk
  • To the investor
  • To the money manager
• Causes of investment performance risk
  • Elements generating risk or significantly increasing risk

Overview

Everyone knows that mindfulness can help supercharge your brain at work, and most people have heard of the Pomodoro method and other forms of time blocking. This webinar brings these two techniques together to help you get more done with less stress so you can finish work each day confident in what you've accomplished.

The basic principle underlying this webinar is that the mind, like our physical muscles, works hard but then needs time to rest.  In this distracted, multitasking culture we often try to do several things at a time, skip breaks, and power through long days (and often nights) behind a computer. This webinar gives you the tools you need to break out of all those habits and start monotasking, leaving space in your day for your brain to recharge, and putting work down at the end of a productive day.

Let's talk about multitasking first. Lots of people believe they're more productive when they multitask, so they're often on a video call but checking email at the same time, or they'll take a phone call as they book a flight. Research has definitively shown that humans are terrible at multitasking, but we're good at fooling ourselves into believing that we do it well. 

In fact, we're more likely to make mistakes when we work that way, and it can cost us up to 40% more time to multitask than to focus on one task at a time (https://www.apa.org/research/action/multitask).  In short, if you want to grow professionally, you owe it to yourself to learn to mono-task.

Next let's talk about rest for the mind. Sometimes we'll get into a flow state, and we're so absorbed in our work that an hour or more could pass without our noticing. But often when we try to plow through a large block of work, our attention becomes blurrier as we go until we find ourselves watching cat videos with no idea what work to tackle next. One solution to this problem of ineffective work is to take short breaks, and when we unplug from screens during those breaks, our minds have time to rest, integrate what we've been doing, and maybe even come up with innovative solutions to the problems we've been working on. There are two methods that target the problems of multitasking and resting the mind for peak performance: mindfulness and the Pomodoro timer. I'll integrate them for you during this webinar with a method I call the mindful Pomodoro. 

Using this technique, you work for 25 minutes, then take a five-minute break during which you unplug from screens and fold in contemplative movement or mindfulness.  After four of these work-rest sessions, you take a longer break of around 15 minutes, and then the cycle starts over again.

The magic of the Pomodoro method is that each 25-minute work cycle is focused on one specific goal. If you're writing during that work session, then you don't check email or get up for a cup of coffee. 

You'll have break times to wander, chat, meditate, and otherwise refresh yourself. The 5- or 15-minute breaks are perfect for folding meditation and movement into your daily routine, and you'll be amazed at how much benefit a few mindful minutes can have for your workday.

Please join this webinar to supercharge your workday and add hours of productivity back into your week.

Why you should Attend

If you're a knowledge worker - someone whose job is based on your skills, expertise, creativity, and ability to make judgements - then your flourishing depends on your ability to use your mind. You probably know about some of the "best practices" in productivity, like mindfulness, time blocking, and taking small breaks, but if you're not using them, you're missing out on the productivity and value you could be bringing to your work.

This webinar focuses on two key tools for productivity superpowers, the Pomodoro timer and mindfulness, and I'll show you how to use them together for a system that's easy to use. The Pomodoro timer is a system in which you alternate between 25-minute periods of focus on a task and short (5 minute) or long (15 minute) breaks. I'll teach you how to unplug during the Pomodoro break times, we'll do short sessions of meditation and contemplative movement, and you'll make up your own action plan for implementing what you learn in the webinar.

With all the books, apps, and other resources available now on mindfulness, why should you pay for this webinar?  First, there's no substitute for live interaction with an instructor as you figure out what version of these techniques will work for you in real life, and if you were going to implement these changes on your own, you would have done that already. 

Finally, you'll get resources (like guided meditations and links to videos) to support your new best practices after the webinar is over. The benefits of working smarter include less fatigue and burnout, greater mental focus, and higher-quality work. Please join us to take your work routine to the next level.

Overview

In an effort to bring clarity to areas that are not often discussed as "risks" we will explore Moral Hazard and Conduct risk. There are regulatory opinions on these topics, and as we all know, there are many examples of weaknesses in these areas. This webinar will explore what an organization can do to strengthen controls in this area. 

While not eliminating all morality issues, as that cannot happen, we will discuss steps that can mitigate egregious errors and limit potential losses. That way, when management states that "we only hire good people" and want to use that as a control, they may actually be able to do just that.

New product development may be a driving force for market share for your institution. It is great to be innovative and cutting edge. However, with rapid growth and constant change or introduction of new products to the market place we may forget about the risks associated with that activity. 

This webinar highlights what those risks are, how we may be able to mitigate them and how to communicate to the Board of Directors that our processes properly consider the risk and reward associated with product development.

Why you should Attend

This webinar touches upon 3 risk areas that tend to remain hidden from management. Conduct risk has seen a revival of concern because of several high profile failure of moral character in the financials services industry, where conduct is highly scrutinized. So while appropriate to Financial Services, this webinar applies to all business that are concerned of about setting the right example for employees with regard to conduct and behavior.

Along with conduct risk is the attention given to moral hazard. While hard to define, there are practices that can easily be discovered and rectified so as to protect a company's reputation and ensure a clients well being.

Finally, a simple but often overlooked risk, New Product Development, is one that can contribute to significant operational losses, customer ill will and bring on criticism from regulators. If you are heavy into new product development as a means to gain market share or simply don’t develop new products very often but are about to embark on several new products then this webinar is for you.

Areas Covered in the Session

• Ethics and Morality Expectations
• Whistleblower Processes and Protections
• New Product Development Process Design
• Introducing New Risk Through New Products
• Reporting to the Board Of Directors

Who Will Benefit

Overview

It's hard to ignore today's conversation around emotional intelligence. Studies show it is far more important to leadership success than having a high IQ.

The term "emotional intelligence" implies the answer lies in the frontal lobe of the brain. It implies we can think our way through all our problems. Let me ask you this: when two people are yelling at each other in the hallway, or meeting room, or customer counter, is the any "intelligence" going on? Of course not.

In this fast-moving training, attorney, author and speaker, Don Phin, will introduce us the idea of "emotional energy." He will help us understand the importance of the roles we play and the powerful  40| |40 Solution to "feeling" what is going on. Don will remind us great leadership is an inside/out game!

This is a unique and insightful training because it's not just about them it's about you!

Why you should Attend

Here's a sobering thought: Half of all managers and leaders are better than the other half! The greatest challenge these executives face has less to do with how smart they are and more to do with how well they manage the emotions. Of both themselves and the people they lead or manage.

Unsuccessful leaders and managers generate million-dollar problems. The exposure they generate causes lawsuits,turnover, brand damage, and a shrinking bottom line. Yet few of these executives were ever trained on how to BE as an executive.

Since control is dead as a leadership strategy, in its place are concepts such as engagement, empowerment, inspiration, inclusion and emotional intelligence. This is the path to great leadership today.

Areas Covered in the Session

• The conversation around emotional intelligence begins
• The Death of Control
• The Level Five Humble Leader
• The stories we tell ourselves
• Victims, villains, and heroes
• The "Negative Hero"
• The idea of "Emotional Energy"
• The power of resonating at 40| |40
• The coax, encourage and inspire formula
• Letting go of control
• Becoming inclusive
• Expectations vs. Agreements
• Inspiring people
• Having Faith

Who Will Benefit

Overview

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time" Maya Angelou

Toxicity in the workplace acts like an infectious disease - it spreads and infiltrates teams and relationships, Without the understanding, skills and tools applied intentionally, toxicity will continue to spread eventually impairing the organization and burning out the leaders and staff.

In some organizations, toxicity has a seemingly intractable hold on the culture - its rampant. In other organizations it is more covert, but no less debilitating to the organization and the people.

People who would not normally exhibit toxic behaviour begin reacting to the toxicity of others in ways that are negative and harmful to productivity and relationships. This is the beginning of a downward spiral. Toxicity feeding off toxicity. Good people will leave the team and organization.

Toxic behaviours won't go away if they are ignored. They will fester.

Specific and intentional action is the only way to counter toxicity. There are skills and tactics that will work once the underlying behaviours are identified and understood.

Only by learning how to identify toxic behaviours and developing a specific plan to confront and incapacitate them, will the workplace become safe and harmonious.

Why you should Attend

Having to deal with toxic people is overwhelming and frustrating.

The non-sensical conversations, ad hominem attacks, misrepresentations, deception, lack of taking responsibility for their actions, defensiveness, back-stabbing, condescension, and sarcasm is exhausting.

You'd like to just get the job done, without feeling like you're going into battle. You avoid them as much as possible, find reasons for not working with them, maybe even miss meetings they will be attending, anything to not have to interact with them - but there's no way around it, sometimes you just have to work with them.  

Toxic people can show up anywhere in your work or personal life - they can be customers, vendors, staff, colleagues or managers. Toxic people have specific behaviours which require specific strategies for dealing them - they are much different from the strategies and tactics for dealing with people who are merely difficult.

Learning to distinguish the truly toxic from the difficult and having a range of tools and techniques readily available will give you a major advantage in getting desired outcomes.

Toxic people can also be very destructive to relationships - one of the first rules of dealing with toxic people is to learn to protect yourself.

In this engaging and practical webinar you will learn key strategies, tactics and skills to protect your emotional and psychological well being, without acquiescing, getting walked on, controlled or dominated, while also getting the job done, efficiently and effectively.

Overview

Retention has emerged as a critical issue for employers globally. In the U.S., where turnover historically has averaged 15 percent nationally for many years across varied locations, industries and organizations, now stands at 19 percent.

Turnover costs money and leads to many problems with employee morale and engagement, and increased turnover leads to even more turnover. In this webinar, hear new thinking on employee retention and how to reduce turnover.

Why you should Attend

If your organization does nothing to reduce turnover and thereby improve retention, it is quite likely that turnover will get worse! Your organization must take proactive steps to address turnover. And those actions need to be more effective than merely raising salaries or improving management’s interpersonal skills, both popular approaches to cut turnover rates.

Did you know some common facts and figures about turnover? Consider: (1) absenteeism is a leading indicator of turnover; (2) engagement surveys can be used to predict turnover rates with great accuracy as much as a year in advance; (3) exit interviews are deeply flawed as they are commonly used and often yield deceptive results; (4) the last people hired are the first people to leave; and (5) how people are treated during their recruitment, selection, and onboarding stages affects their stay-or-leave decisions later. You should attend this workshop to hear what to do to cut avoidable turnover of good or even top performers while letting the bad performers go.

Areas Covered in the Session

• What is turnover, and what are the types of turnover?
• What roles should be played by HR and by operating/line managers in cutting turnover?
• How can turnover be slashed?

Who Will Benefit

• HR Practitioners
• Operating Managers
• Front-Line Supervisors

Overview

Employee handbooks have been a tool for Employers from small to large companies for several years. Many companies elect to have employee handbooks and utilize employee handbook templates that are provided on-line which we call "cookie cutter handbook" since they are created as a "one size fits all".

Unfortunately, employee handbooks can be a huge risk if not updated regularly, adapted to each company, reflect policies that are followed consistently and reflect current regulations. Employee handbooks are also a critical communication tool for employees to understand what the company expects from them as well as what the company expects from employees.

In my workplace compliance experience, employees review the handbook when they are new employees coming onboard to company and when they are considering leaving the company or when they are considering suing the company.

Did you know that Employee Handbooks can be a risk or a benefit for Employers? For years an Employee Handbook has been one of the first documents employment law attorneys request when they are planning to pursue workplace charges against an Employer.

Shouldn't you ensure that your employee handbook protects your company instead of exposing it to numerous risk? Let me help you create an employee handbook that will reduce your company’s risk and help you mitigate the numerous workplace regulations that can impact your company.

Over 26-35 regulations have changed since 2016. If you haven't updated your employee handbook since 2018-2020, your handbook is already outdated.

Multi-State regulations have increased and continue to expand to other states.

Areas Covered in the Session

• What Regulatory Agencies have more focus on employment violations by Employers
• Participants will learn, identify and prepare for employee handbook violations
• Participants will be aware of all the new regulations that will impact their company
• The course will identify the most common employee handbook violations and how to mitigate them

• Participants will learn what policies will land them in hot water
• What policies are "must have" for your employee handbook?
• Social media and the impact of penalties when employees choose to speak negatively about their Employer
• Multi-State current and New regulations and how they overlap with Federal regulations New paid leave laws and how Employers can manage them
• Impact of "Ban the Box" regulations on criminal background screening regulations
• States where asking candidates for salary history has been prohibited. This means removing the salary history in handbooks, applications, and career websites

Overview

Power Query is a somewhat new feature, it first made its entrance in Excel 2010, and now is a standard part of Excel 2016 and 2019.

Power Query is a tool designed for Excel to handle repetitious steps specifically tied to data prep. We all know the drudgery of removing columns, shifting rows, correcting data formats all before we can actually do the work with the data!

The old alternative was to use macros for this redundant work; but even those were hard to edit and not everyone is comfortable with VBA code.

In this crash course, you will learn how to find Power Query in Excel, load data into it, begin the process of transforming your redundant tasks (one last time!), and then how to Save and Load the Query to Excel to finish your reports.

Take this course and benefit from Andy Lanning's 20+ years of experience. At the finish, you will realize how hard you have worked without Power Query helping you through your data prep, and soon rejoice at your new-found time savings!

Why you should Attend

When the daunting task of 'cleaning up data' comes across your desk, are you using the amazing features of Excel's Power Query?

It is surprisingly common to find oneself repeating a process daily or weekly simply because we didn't know there was a better way. This is true with prepping data for Excel.

Attend this webinar for a crash course in Power Query and you'll be amazed at the time you save by no longer redundantly cleaning data.

Areas Covered in the Session

• How to begin a Power Query
• How to Extract data from your Source files into the Power Query
