Make Let’s Play Catch! a Team Sport
October 10, 2005, 10:57 amI’ve taught Making and Securing Reliable Promises (MSRP) back-to-back for two construction firms in the last month. Both are good-sized firms operating in California. Each put two dozen people in a room with me or on the phone. I’m always surprised by the reaction people have to the course material. Making and keeping promises and having others do the same for you is challenging work. While the ideas are simple, the reaction each time is “So, that’s how it works!”
More surprising is how people engage in the course. There’s the usual “I don’t have time to do the homework,” along with the majority of participants that are unwilling to speak in class. However, I keep teaching the course because of the minority of students who engage fully. One recent report, “I’m amazed at how contagious this has become,” is the payoff. And all it takes is two week’s homework taking 15 minutes each day.
Contact me to explore how I can work with your team.

Get a Summary of the Let’s Play Catch! Mini Course
August 14, 2005, 6:36 pmI had a big weekend in Orange County presenting to the OC PMI Chapter. I was quite surprised how many people came out for the event on a beautiful weekend day. The agenda was packed. The speakers were quite good.
I’m making my presentation available here: Getting BIG Things Done (on projects) Working with Others. Those of you who’ve taken the course will recognize the material. I culled some points from each of the 10 lessons. It’s a good summary of the lessons. If you haven’t taken the course, then you’ll get a good idea of what it’s about. The one thing missing is the exercises for building your competence at getting BIG things done working with others. You’ll only get those in the mini-course. Enjoy!

Over 100 Subscribers to Promising Mini-Course
June 30, 2005, 9:49 pmI’m quite pleased with the reception I’m getting to the mini-course. Here’s the latest review. It comes from across the pond in Clarke Ching’s I Think Not, Baby Puppy Don’t miss: Conversations for Action. Clarke does a good job of sharing the background of my work. And some very kind words. Thanks Clarke!
If you haven’t signed up, please do so now. If you have, then I’d love to hear your comments on the course.
