Episode 246: The International PM Day is Good for Your Career (Free)This interview with Frank Saladis, PMP was recorded at the PMI Global Congress 2013 North America in New Orleans.

The International Project Management Day (http://internationalpmday.org/) is happening every year on the 1st Thursday of November. This is "our" day. But what exactly does it do for us? Why should you care?

Frank Saladis (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/frank-saladis/0/226/4aa/) who is the founder of the IPM Day argues that since it was first introduced in 2004 "our" day has grown both in recognition and size. And this increased awareness of our profession has opened senior executives to the notion that we as project managers learn life skills, leadership skills, managerial skill and general business skills that are very portable from organization to organization. You as a project manager are near the pulse of every organization and as such you become more valuable and your career grows with every project that you manage.

Episode 245: Gower Handbook of People in Project Management (Premium)The Gower Handbook of People in Project Management has over 60 chapters. We’ve already looked at three of them in our last interview and today we welcome back Lindsay Scott to discuss three more.

The handbook looks at the people-issues that are specific to different sectors of organization (public, private and third sector); the organization of people in projects, both real and virtual; the relationship between people, their roles and the project environment; and the human behaviours and skills associated with working collaboratively.

In our interview we will focus on Project Management Certifications, Hero Project Managers and A Day in the Life of a Project Manager. As always… our main goal is to give you insights and recommendations that you can hopefully apply on your projects (or to your career) right away.

Episode 244: Gower Handbook of People in Project Management (Free)The projects we lead are all about a group of people delivering benefits to others, so it's no surprise that the human element is fundamental to project management. Lindsay Scott (www.arraspeople.co.uk) is one of the editors of The Gower Handbook of People in Project Management, which is advertised as a complete guide to the human dimensions involved in projects. It’s a compilation of over 60 chapters about project management roles and the people who sponsor, manage, deliver, work in or are otherwise important to project success.

I invited Lindsay to come on the program today and discuss just 3 of these chapters. You can look forward to not only her review but to lots of takeaways that you can hopefully apply on your own projects tomorrow. We discussed the chapters on International Projects, Cross-Cultural Relationships and Managing People in Virtual Organisations.
