Speaking Highs

After a busy week of spectacular speaking engagements, I am enjoying the "Speaker" high that comes from well executed and well received presentations. You should enjoy the highs in life, and accept the lows in life. Delivering pragmatic skills in an entertaining way to audiences is the "Highest High" for me.

Do you enjoy the "Speaker" highs that you get after a presentation? Do you allow yourself to absorb the high and bask in it while it lasts?

While at the Southern New England Chapter of Project Management Institute Annual (SNEC-PMI) conference yesterday where I presented, I picked up a book by Rita Mulcahy from rmcproject.com.

Delightful and through provoking book. I read it last night. You may think - "What normal person could be so intrigued about any book on Project Management to read the book on a Friday night?". Is this the newest methodology in Earned Value Management? Or "Yet Another Graphical Dashboard Paradigm Shift" special report?

No. This little book is different, and I highly recommend that you get a copy. "100 Things Project Managers Should Do Before They Die" is a must-have for every experienced Project Manager.

Our 3rd annual SNEC-PMI conference was a total blast, well planned and plans flawlessly executed. Kudos to the team of volunteers that made this conference happen. I can't believe that our first conference was already 2 years ago. Time goes by so quickly. And construction is still underway at the adjoining Connecticut Science. Perhaps an invitation to the Project Management team across the way for complimentary tickets to our 2009 annual conference would be in order?
