PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen

Hi, IMPACT Driver!
 
It’s officially here: The week of the FREE IMPACT Summit—and my book’s birthday!!

The first week of sales is crucial for the book’s success, IMPACT Driver.
 
This week’s numbers tell retailers and the industry that The IMPACT Engine is a book that matters, and you as the reader are critical to the future of your organization. Your support helps get this book in front of more leaders who need these strategies to accelerate strategy delivery in PMOs and Transformation work and tells your boss, you need a seat at the leadership table.
 
🗓️ Here’s what’s happening at the summit this week:
  • Book Launch Party Tuesday, Sept 10: Celebrate the release of The IMPACT Engine with us and enjoy special guests, a virtual swag bag for everyone that pops in to say hello, and prizes every hour!

Oh, and if you do want to hear more about the summit this week, I do break it down here on this episode. But, I’d rather you just pop over to my book launch party this week and say hi and get your virtual swag bag. 👋
