1/28/20 PMINEO Women in Project Management Book Club (all are welcome!)

PMINEO has a Women in Project Management Book Club and all are welcome! The next book we will be reading is Pushback: How Smart Women Ask--and Stand Up--for What They Want by Selena Rezvani. About The Book: Pushback: How Smart Women Ask--and Stand Up--for What They Want by Selena Rezvani In Pushback, top leadership consultant Selena Rezvani argues that self-advocacy is critical to success. Yet women initiate negotiations four times less often than men, resulting in getting less of what they want—promotion opportunities, plum assignments, and higher pay. This book shines a light on the real rules of holding your own and pushing back for what is rightfully yours. Drawing on interviews with high-level leaders, Rezvani offers readers in the first half of their career the unedited truth about how women have asked their way to the top and triumphed—and how you can too. About the Book Club: The PMINEO WIPM Book Club is a forum for talking about books that touch on the widely varied challenges of women in project and program management. There is no Book Club membership or fees. Anyone can sign up to join our conversations. There are just three key requirements: preregistration, reading the book before the meeting, and coming to the Book Club with an open mind and being prepared to have your understanding adjusted as you hear about the book through the voices of your professional peers. Agenda: 6:30 PM – Welcome, introductions, discuss book 7:30 PM – Discuss Next Book/Timing 7:45 PM – End PDUs Available: Based on the amount of time you will spend in self-directed study of leadership – we estimate up to six hours of reading, which converts to up to 6 PDUs for qualified PMPs who are under the 30 PDU limit for their current three year certification cycle. Please note that these PDUs will need to be reported as Self-Directed Learning. For full details on PDU reporting refer to the PMP Handbook .
