When caught up in the busyness, challenges and frustrations of daily life, we can easily get diverted from the big picture questions that define our purpose and help us to focus on the “W.I.N.” -- what’s important, now. Drawing on personal stories and illustrations, this presentation offers insights about systems, group dynamics, personal fulfillment, and how project managers have a special role to play when it comes to making the world a better place.

By attending this event, Professional will be able to...

• see the value of their work as part of a much bigger picture
• feel inspired about how they contribute to “saving the world”
• find new ideas and motivation to move past common frustrations

When it becomes painfully true so often that “life is short,” this presentation illuminates the myriad ways in which project managers can -- and should -- come to the rescue.

What they are saying:

“Susan Mogensen is the best storyteller I've ever heard. Her style is low-key, but her delivery is powerful. With her beautiful voice and carefully chosen words, Susan engages and delights the listener. While her stories are rich in entertainment, they also inform and inspire. If you want a speaker to make your next event memorable, hire Susan!” – Sherry Jennings

"If Susan speaks at your event, be prepared to hear big ideas broken down into chunks we can all personally relate to.  She delivers with impact so the ideas stick and you become a better, more aware person for having heard her.  Her talk was the hit of the conference and delivered the only standing ovation of a two-day event that was filled with excellent speakers." – Ray Tooley

“Quirky, humorous, touching –  if you would not associate these qualities with a speaker who has some profoundly important things to say, engage Susan Mogensen and you are in for a great surprise!” – Caroline Oliver

“What I enjoy the most about listening to Susan is her easy, articulate delivery of very funny stories to connect real life with learning.” – Susan Rogers
