Overview:

There are many ways to improve your professional knowledge and skills. One way is to increase your knowledge by reading current and relevant project management books. We've created book clubs that are designed to be small discussion groups led by a facilitator.

It's an informal group meeting for a Saturday morning where one person serves as the facilitator to guide and promote discussion. It is an excellent way to meet other chapter members and open a dialogue regarding trends and challenges experienced by those in project management roles.
And, earn PDUs!

Many professionals work as much as 70 hours a week, leaving little time for rest, exercise, family, and friends. Work is invading their personal life.

The common understanding of productivity has failed these professionals. Most think productivity is just about getting more done at a faster speed. But it's not.

Productivity is about getting the right things done.

• Redefine your work so it works for you
• Filter your tasks and commitments
• Cut out the nonessentials
• Eliminate interruptions and distractions
• Set boundaries that protect your focus and drive results
• Leverage your time and energy for maximum productivity
• Build momentum for a lifetime of success

In Free to Focus, you'll learn the 3-step system to achieve more while doing less.
