Personal Agility: Being Agile Starts with You The emphasis of agile has always been on the power of the team and the agility of the organization. However, we have skipped one important part: YOU as an individual! Being agile isn't about the processes or practices (we are just doing agile at that point) but about the shift needed in culture and mindset. The only way to change the culture is to take a human-centered approach by starting with ourselves first to understand our current beliefs and biases. During this session, participants will explore through a series of exercises how they currently embody the agile values and principles and where they struggle. Understand your own personal agility Understand the impact your agility has on how you operate within your teams and your organization Gain some new tools to support others in discovering their own personal agility and self-reflection

Establishing Your Personal Brand Who are we? Does our 'brand,' or what others see in us, advertise our project management and leadership strengths? This video explores personal branding and why it is important for establishing relationships with clients and our network of work associates. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Influencing Through Your Professional Presence Leaders spend a lot of time and money researching how to 'Brand and Market' their organization...â¯But how much time have you spent thinking about your own 'Personal Brand' and 'Professional Presence'?Every hour of every day, at every level, in every organization around the world, people with influence move ahead and people without them don't. This is especially important in situations requiring leading without formal authority. Often thought of as something innate, influencing is an interrelated set of skills that can be learned and developed. It is the impression you make on others that is a key factor in influence. While 'Professional Presence' is often difficult to define, it seems easy to spot when you see it in another person - confidence, positive body language, professional appearance, and vocal expressiveness.Professional presence encompasses people's perceptions of everything from character and intelligence to ability to contribute to the organization. People who want to be influential, work at creating a positive 'Professional Presence' in the minds of other people.
