Portfolio as a Value Enabler: How to Make It Real A portfolio as a value enabler is not easy to achieve. It requires not only good process, practices and the right competencies in place but it also needs a change in the mindset of those involved in managing the portfolio.

But how it can be perceived differently if it is presented as a collection of projects and programs or a massive Gantt chart?

With this principle, it can turn into a great vehicle to drive business objectives. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

The Powerful Link Between Mindfulness and Physical Presence Mindfulness is characterized by nonjudgemental awareness of oneself in relation to the environment; it involves openness, curiosity and general acceptance toward other people. Mindful leaders manage their negative thoughts and feelings, rather than react to them - which means they are able to consciously choose the best response to a given situation. They are more purposeful in how they approach different situations, and they are also able to be more flexible in how they respond. The more consistently leaders bring a mindful presence to their day to day activities, the greater the trust they inspire, the greater their influence becomes, the better their decisions are and the more effectively they lead. Mindfulness has been proven to be hugely beneficial to positive experiences, well-being and influence. When we are mindful, this affects self-confidence, body language and presence in a positive way.
