PRESS RELEASE |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
Easthampton, MA - Ann Latham will be presenting a full-day workshop on "Uncommon Commitment" in Minneapolis on September 26th. The event will be held at the Earle Brown Center and is sponsored by PMI-Minnesota. "The value of commitment is generally understood," says Latham. "With commitment, you can accomplish amazing things. Without it, the simplest initiatives become stormy, iceberg-filled seas." She goes on to explain that people concerned about increasing commitment actually work too hard at it and in all the wrong places. If you want to learn powerful techniques for gaining commitment from your peers, team members, and superiors, this workshop may be just what you need. Latham claims that the concepts and skills taught in this workshop will improve your working relationships, strengthen your powers of persuasion, enhance communication, make delegation easier and more successful, and energize your team. In short, you will learn how to create Uncommon Commitment. In particular, you will learn:
1. Two powerful but little known tips for working better with almost anyone
2. The difference between powerful and draining goals and how to create the former
3. The five effective methods of handling work overload while avoiding the only ineffective option
4. How to make decisions that persuade, energize, and create buy-in
5. How to take the risk and fear out of delegating
For more information, Ann Latham can be reached at 800-527-0087. Registration information for PMI-MN will be made available soon.

She does it as a consultant for corporate giants, non-profits, and smaller businesses alike that wish to achieve better results in half the time and with greater confidence.

She does it as a writer for thousands worldwide who have discovered great value in her newsletter, articles, books, and comments in publications such as The New York Times, Forbes, BusinessWeek, and Inc. And she does it as a speaker for audiences who want clear, pragmatic, immediately applicable ideas.
