Today I attended the PM Symposium sponsored by the DC PMI Chapter (which was also celebrating its 40th year). There were some great speakers:
Stefana Saxton our keynote with "Go Big or Go Home: Project Leadership of the Future"
Michael Milutis presented "Know Thyself, Brand Thyself: The Secrets of Self Actualization and Workplace Engagement" - this was great and a much needed boost for me.
Anthony Reed had "Managing Tomorrow's Professional Challenge Like a Marathon" - this was an interesting take.
S.L Young presented our lunchtime session on "Workplace Bullying: It doesn't Lead to Healthy Work Environments"
Crystal Richards had a great presentation "Choose Your Own Adventure: You're the Star of Your Journey" - it was very upbeat and useful.
And finally Belinda Goodrich discussed "Achieve BIG by Working Small!"
It was a great day. If you ever have a chance to hear any of these speakers in an upcoming conference, please go. Saving Changes...
I'm happy you had a great time Dinah, and thanks for the update. Saving Changes...

Dinah: Did any of the speakers address subjects pertaining to PMO management? It sounds like Stefana Saxton's and Belinda Goodrich's talks might have done so.

Actually, none of the sessions I went to were related to the PMO. Truthfully, I was focused that day on myself. I have been going through a bit of confusion in my career and was drawn to speakers who were discussion career development. Looking at the other presentations, I did not see anything specific to PMO. There was one on Agile Portfolio Management and Project and Portfolio Management Fundamentals. The full agenda is at https://pmiwdc.org/symposium-agenda-2018-timeblocks

Cool, thanks for the share, Dinah.
Bullying in the workplace comes in many shapes and forms and creates toxicity within an otherwise healthy environment. Saving Changes...
I like the English Idiom "Go Big or Go Home" ( do it for 100%, do it as championship and do it for the best you can" if you don not believe of success, it is butter to go home. Saving Changes...
