Summary: <a href="http://www.tdktalks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/project-management-101.jpg"></a>Project Management Tips, Tools and Techniques for Toastmasters<br> How to manage projects – Project Management 101. Today I do an interview with John Popoff, PMP about an upcoming workshop he will be facilitating and presenting in our Calgary area of District 42. He gives us some basic project management tips.<br> One of John’s mentors in project management is <a title="Dream Team Consulting - Leadership in Sustainable Development" href="http://dreamteamconsulting.ca/Home.html" target="_blank">Dream Team Consulting</a>. John will be presenting, as his high-performance leadership (HPL) project – a 3-hour workshop “Turning Problems into Productivity: Project Management Tips, Tools and Techniques for Toastmasters”.<br> The pinacle of project management is the <a title="Project Management Institute" href="http://www.pmi.org/" target="_blank">Project Management Institute (PMI)</a>. Our local chapter is the <a title="Project Management Institute Southern Alberta Chapter" href="http://www.pmisac.com/" target="_blank">Southern Alberta Chapter Project Management Institute</a><a title="Project Management Institute Southern Alberta Chapter" href="http://www.pmisac.com/" target="_blank">.</a><br><br> <br> But project management isn’t just for Toastmasters but for the masses in most any industry. The aspect I found intriguing in speaking with John, is that a good project manager has to excel in the areas of communication, motivation and leadership within their team. Those are the exact same aspects we as Toastmasters strive for through our regular meetings.<br> John’s club is the <a title="MVP Advanced Toastmasters Club - District 42 of Alberta &amp; Saskatchewan" href="http://reports.toastmasters.org/findaclub/zoomclub.cfm?clubNumber=976708" target="_blank">MVP Advanced Club</a> in Calgary, Alberta Canada of District 42.<br> For more information and to register, please go to <a title="For More Info &amp; to Register, Click on This Link" href="http://calgarytoastmasters.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/project-management-tips-tools-and-techniques-for-toastmasters-mar-24-2012/" target="_blank">THIS LINK</a> to reserve your spot (scroll to the bottom – “To Register Click Here” button)<br> –<br> You might also like<br> <a title="Passionate about Communication - Interview with Lisa B Marshall" href="http://www.tdktalks.com/passionate-about-communication-interview-with-lisa-b-marshall/#.UbpaDpzNmLU" target="_blank">Show #022 – Passionate About Communications – Interview with Lisa B Marshall<br><br> </a><br> or this interview with Melissa &amp; Kelly<br><br> <br> <a title="An Interview with Melissa &amp; Kelly of the Africa Bike Project" href="http://www.tdktalks.com/innerpreneur-spotlight-africa-bike-project-an-interview/#.UbmxkZzNmLU" target="_blank">Show #026 – INNERpreneur Spotlight – Africa Bike Project – An Interview</a><a title="An Interview with Melissa &amp; Kelly of the Africa Bike Project" href="http://www.tdktalks.com/2011/12/02/show-026-innerpreneur-spotlight-africa-bike-project-an-interview/" target="_blank"><br><br> </a><br>
