"The Five Levers of Influence" presented by Heather Stagl, Enclaria
Your success as a project manager depends on getting other people to change the way they work, including processes, behaviors, priorities, attitudes, relationships and ultimately, results. If you can’t influence them to do something different, then change won’t happen. Where do you start? You might be surprised to learn that all the different ways to influence change originate from just five fundamental levers of influence. By applying these levers, you’ll help people change and make a bigger impact in your organization. Join this session to add the five levers of influence to your personal change toolkit.

JUNE NETWORKING EVENT IS COMING UP!
"HOW A COMBINATION OF TREATMENTS AND VACCINES IS CREATING A PARADIGM SHIFT IN COMBATING INFECTIOUS DISEASES": APRIL HEALTHCARE FORUM SUMMARYWritten By Nevella Paul, MBA, CHTS-IS, CTT+, PMP PMI Atlanta’s Healthcare Forum for April was enlightened and high informed with the eye opening presentation delivered by Darnisha Harrison, President and CEO, Ennaid Therapeutics. Darnisha opened her presentation with a thought provoking question – “In the history of vaccines only one virus has been eradicated. Can you guess which disease that is?” Answer: Smallpox. This was an unknown fact to many which made the audience eager to know more. Darnisha shared the nine deadliest viruses and how viruses are invisible threats. Those nine are: Small pox, Influenza, HIV, Retroviruses, Measles, Yellow Fever, Dengue, Lassa virus and Ebola. Many others are very harmful including, Zika virus, bubonic plague, H1N1, SARS, and chikungunya, often posing an economic burden greater than $39 billion globally.
DO YOU KNOW YOUR PMDS? - PROJECT MANAGEMENT DEFICIENCIES Written By David Barrett, PMP
Every great project manager has one or more PMD – even you. If you don’t believe it, you are fooling yourself. Mine is dealing with detail. Yours could be your presentation skills, your ability to deal with stress, your negotiating skills, your time management skills, or even the opposite of mine: your ability to see the big picture.

I hate the detail and as a result, I don’t pay attention to it and this gets me into some deep trouble once in awhile. I have a very difficult time reading long lengthy emails or reports. I skim and typically read only the first couple of sentences at the start of every paragraph. My biggest downfall while managing projects is dealing with the detail.
