Between the Slides

The PMP exam is similar to other professional level certifications in that the content of the exam is based on reality, but one must also place their minds in "test mode" and at times suspend the realities of project management. In this episode I will share how I studied, where I stumbled and the tools and techniques I followed to successfully pass the Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam on my first try. "Between the Slides 5" for this episode: * Determine your learning style, e.g. do you need an in person boot camp or is an online course. Then book it. * Don't read the PMBOK straight through.  It's overwhelming. * Do not get lost memorizing every formula and ITTO chart. Instead focus on what values or ranges are good and which are bad. * Know the process group, knowledge area and process chart to the point you can write it out. * Early in process take a full exam to benchmark. Study weak points. | Close to exam time drill 10 question knowledge area focused quizzes, study answers, then re-take until you pass the same quiz 3 times. Re-take full exam.  Rinse and repeat as needed.

The Battle of Gettysburg was a devastating event for both the Union and Confederate armies. In this episode I share some of the timeless leadership lessons we can all learn from key leaders involved in the battles that took place in and around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1, 1863 to July 3, 1863. "Between the Slides 5" (+2) for this episode: * Leaders must be adaptable and empower their people | Example: Maj. Gen. John Buford * We must always consider the time wedge and not ignore the voice of our people | Example: Lt. Gen. Richard Ewell * We must work to clearly receive the message, understand its content, decide on a course of action and communicate the clarity of our strategic direction | Example: Maj. Gen. Dan Sickles * We should always be asking, "..and then what?" and have back up plans | Example: Col. Joshua Chamberlain * We must prepare ourselves to receive and give the difficult orders | Example: Maj. Gen. George Pickett Bonus: * We must be comfortable with "I don't know" and ask for clarity when objectives are not clear | Example: Maj. Gen. George Meade * We should all strive to be imperturbable, but not be a robot | Example: General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant Please take time to visit the show website and please also rate and leave a written review on iTunes.  If you're enjoying the show also consider subscribing.

The advantages of building and maintaining strong relationships between Emergency Management, Emergency Communications, Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS is critical.  This is especially true when training for and responding to no-notice incidents like an active threat (active shooter, active killer, etc.).  In this episode I share practices colleagues and I followed to train over 1,000 first responders as part of a combined active threat training and response program. "Between the Slides 5" for this episode: * Get approval from leadership early and keep them informed * Manage the effort like a project. It is one. * Build a team of subject matter experts and listen to them * Integrate proven practices like TCCC and the Hartford Consensus * Train together so you will respond together   Please take time to visit the show website and please also rate and leave a written review on iTunes.  If you're enjoying the show also consider subscribing.
