I saw a problem:

Projects routinely go to hell.

I had a solution:

Hell could certainly be avoided.

I believed that:

Owners would pay for that certainty.

My personal introduction….

“You know how construction projects always

seem to go to hell? ….late? ….over budget?

Well ours don’t.

I am the President of MHPM Project Leaders.

track, you get run over if

you just sit there Will Rogers

Leadership vs

Management


A person who knows how

will always have a job

A person who knows why

will always be their boss


Leaders ask why?,

to compare the merits

of the how and the what

Managers ask how? and what?,

having been told why


Managerial competence is not intentional leadership





He who stops being better,

stops being good.

Oliver Cromwell

Click to edit Master title style i. Speaking to Influence

The essential power of effective

public speaking


Being heard and understood

is more important than

being agreed with

Speaking to Influence


Speaking to influence It isn’t about you

It’s about your audience

Relax.

Permit them to enjoy it

Speaking to Influence

Click to edit Master title style Speaking to Influence

It’s as easy as controlling your….

Eyes

Hands

Feet

Volume & Inflection

Style


Eyes Always speak to someone,

and not to the audience in

general

Speak to one person at a

time

Speak one sentence to that

one person - and only then

move on to someone else


Keep your hands up above

waist level

Use your hands to animate

your words: emphasize,

describe and enhance

Keep your hands out of your

pockets, or otherwise

moving unnecessarily

Hands


Feet

Balance your stance

Walk only when you

have to, not when you

want to

If necessary, lean on

something to keep

yourself still


Breathe deeply

Speak to be heard

Project your voice from deep

within you

Exaggerate emphasis and

inflection

Volume & Inflection


Use short sentences

Don’t fear silence - embrace it

Pause frequently

Practice to eliminate “bridges”

Style

Click to edit Master title style ii. Your Value Proposition

You are at a social function

You meet someone you have always wanted to meet

This essentially important individual sees your conference badge, says hello, shakes your hand, and asks:

“What do you do?”


You have about 30 seconds

You need to engage

You need to make an impression

You need to inform

What are you going to say?

Your Value Proposition


Step 1 – Hook

• Create a hook (“You know how…….?”)

Step 2 – Specialty

• Identify how you make a difference

Step 3 – So what?

• Who benefits from what you do?

Step 4 – Results

• What results do you deliver?

Step 5 – Action

• Ask permission to follow-up

The Formula

You are your email

Anyone who could the last 50

email you have sent knows

everything they need to know

about you!


Email Recognize every email as an opportunity to influence

General

Reduce email traffic as much as possible. Use the

phone

Automatically check spelling and grammar

Capitalize proper nouns

Set the expectation for your team

You are your email


Email Subject Line

Give every email a subject line that is relevant to the subject of the

message

One significant subject per email

Use relevant keywords to permit the recipient to identify contents

of the email without having to open it – and to file it without having

to re-open it

Use an identical format to improve your personal credibility. Be

identifiable by your correspondence

Salutation Start and finish every email with a salutation

You are your Email


Distribution To: Those who must act and those must know

Cc: Those who may wish to know

Avoid “Reply All”: act to reduce, not increase, email

Sentences and Paragraphs Include a statement of the subject in the opening sentence

Express thoughts in full sentences, accumulated as paragraphs

Signature Include your AutoSignature on every email

You are your Email

out of the way Thomas Paine


Lead me, follow me, or

get the hell out of my way George Patton
