...35 Years of Business Experience Boiled Down to 8 Simple Rules...

August 10, 2011 - PMISSC Monthly Meeting - Bruce Falk, PMP - H. C. Phoenix Group - "8 Simple Rules"

We only have 50 minutes! How much can we learn in that amount of time? How about over 35 years of business experience boiled down to 8 simple rules to make your life immensely easier. Whether you're a full-time project manager or someone just starting your career, this presentation will give you a unique perspective on how to do your job more effectively. Bruce's sly take and somewhat irreverent look at how to manage your projects will ring true with common sense and reality. Come join us on Wednesday, August 10th at the Blair Mansion Inn in Silver Spring, Maryland to welcome our guest speaker for the month of August, Bruce Falk, PMP, Senior Partner with H. C. Phoenix Group. You'll walk away from the evening with information you will remember and use at home that night, at work the next day or right away with the person sitting next to you.

And Yes, there will be an Early Show! Scott Christiansen will be discussing ten ways to build "Trust-Based Leadership."

Cost of the event, which will be held at the Blair Mansion Inn (7711 Eastern Avenue - Silver Spring, MD 20912), is $35 (payment in advance, or $40 at the door). Sign-in and networking begin at 6:00 pm (or 5:00 pm if you're coming to the Early Show, which starts at 5:30 pm), dinner is at 7:00 pm, and Bruce's presentation begins at 8:00 pm sharp.
