Congratulations to These New CMP's
I have crossed paths during their preparation through a mixture of my 16-hour virtual classes, my two-day in-person classes, the MPI Global Master Class, my videos, and some random conversations. I am very proud and happy for all of you, and it means a lot to have been part of your journey.

July CMP Class

July 2021 16 hours CMP Intensive Class

This class is over four days, 4 hours each day, totally 16 CE Hours. And you can take the entire class virtually, the same as for the past year.

Or –if you are wanting to see some people including me, face to face, you can come take the first two dates, Friday July 23, and Saturday, July 24 in person at Wind Creek Resort in Bethlehem, PA.

The second weekend will be virtual for ALL attendees.

No matter which way you are taking the class, go to the class registration page (link above) and register—the process is the same no matter how you are taking it.

Does this sound like you? Would you be interested in hearing more?

What’s the ROI of You? 
Even if you are doing an excellent job, the world is moving too fast to hope that someone notices. Your job is to make the organization better.  Your personal responsibility is to make sure you know how to do it and how to show it.
This is not 2 hours of me talking at you. This is a workshop meaning you will be doing work in the session---all about  you. It will get you started on the process meaning more likely you will keep working on it after you leave. And you know how important that is to me-----“what do I want people to think and do differently after they leave?”

By attending this session you will learn:
  • How to determine what the organization thinks is important 
  • How to gather information in a way that you can measure it
  • How to use that information to show your value, and the ROI your organization gains by the work that you do

Interested in attending this workshop? The only place to participate
is at the Meet & Retreat!
