I am back to Bollywood after spending a week in Hollywood and what a week it has been :
- Travelling half the way across the world : a 19-hour flight from Bollywood to Hollywood
- Participating as a “Expert” for “Ask The Expert” sessions
- Presenting at my third PMI Congress - "Who Wants to Be a More Successful
- Project Manager? Here's Your New Lifeline: Ask the Crowd! #askthecrowd
- Recording live podcast for PMI on my experience as a speaker and as an attendee
- A great support from the #crowd at the conference
- Looking at Life as a magic along with John Dorenbos
- Collecting "GEMS" from 5 generations at the workplace from Cam Martson
- Cracking Creativity with Abigail Posner
- Finally a enjoying a cool sunset by the Pacific Ocean at the Santa Monica Pier
My takeaways ? I have noted them down as quotes that I gathered from the sessions that I attended
1. “I blamed a lot of people when I wasn’t having success, the more I blamed people around me, the more I lost myself, bit by bit, piece by piece.” – John Dorenbos – “Life is a magic” Key note day 1
2. “You will become infinitely more powerful if you can understand your preferences and set them aside and let your colleagues’ preferences shine through,” – Cam Marston
3. “The big part of the equation was to work with the community to understand what veterans wanted in their brand-new veteran’s medical center – Fernando Rivera, Director of Medical center – south Louisiana Veterans health care system, 2018, PMI Project of the year winner Do I hear “crowdsourcing ““Ask the crowd “here as well ?
4. “Creativity changes the world!” – Abigail Posner
