In our twenty plus years of being the Midwest’s choice for providing exceptional videography, we have yet to charge a fee to videotape any school, dance or theater performance. Directors do not pay to receive their DVDS or Blu-rays. We have found that participants and their families often desire a copy for themselves so we do make copies available to them for purchase.

The musical journey began at the tender age of three when Jenny walked up to her family piano and began playing by ear, mimicking lullabies that her mother sang to her. As Jenny’s musical gifts evolved she performed regularly at rest homes, local churches and other town events where she became the church pianist at the young age of seven. Immersed in music Jenny spent her summers studying and performing at The Conservatory of Music in Victoria, British Columbia, and also dedicated a stint at the Conservatory of Music in St. Petersburg, Russia, eventually graduating from Texas A&M University.

BUSINESS SCORECARD Edward Smith with EZ Sports Talk and Jacob Fann with Fanntastic Media

EdSmithSpeaks offers a series of workshops/presentations titled Leadership Tips from the Locker Room to the Board Room. Great organizations are defined by leadership. Success comes from the environment created by those in charge. As a professional athlete Ed recognized it is imperative to build a team of quality members who share the principles of the 3 C’s (Common Goal, Communication & Collaboration). Workshops/presentations are tailored to your organization.

One of Ed’s biggest passions is encouraging the youth of America to stay on the right track and never give up on their dreams. “If you continue to chase them, you never know what amazing possibilities lay ahead.” Interactive presentations specifically designed for age brackets. Ed’s strong family foundation, faith and unwillingness to never give up have sustained him in both his personal and professional life. Ed’s presentation explores faith as a powerful tool in achieving your goals.

Ed Smith is a former two sport professional athlete. His journey through a nine- year minor league baseball career and the transition to the NFL, culminating in Super Bowl XXXIII (1998 NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons) exemplifies the definitions of perseverance and determination.

Reaching the pinnacle of professional football after years of hardships and uncertainty taught Ed many lessons – the true meaning of discipline, dedication, team work, faith and leadership. His purpose is to inspire those who need the clarity and motivation in life to achieve their goals.

In addition to speaking to organizations; Ed works closely with local/national charitable groups and is a published author (EZ Does It: The Journey of a Lifetime, 2005). His autobiography chronicles not only the highs and lows of sports, but also major life decisions and their consequences. He is also a radio personality, hosting a weekly show (The EZ Sports Talk Show) on NBC Sports Radio, KDUS 1060AM Phoenix.

E19 Dr Harold Kerzner from the International Institute for Learning and Belinda Goodrich from PM Learning Solutions

In this special episode of Project Management Office Hours Joe Pusz, PMO Joe, has a thought provoking discussion with Project Management Industry leaders Dr. Harold Kerzner from the International Institute for Learning and Belinda Goodrich from PM Learning Solutions.

Much of our hour-long conversation was focused on the future of project management and learning from our collective experiences. Dr. Kerzner and Belinda both highlighted how Project Managers and the role they perform are evolving. We no longer focus our metrics on just the Triple Constraint. We utilize Frameworks rather than Methodology. We have re-defined project success. Our training techniques and tools are changing to meet these new expectations. We discuss differences in project management in the US compared to abroad and challenges with teaching project management at higher educational institutions.

Belinda speaks in detail about the A.C.I.D. Approach; Agility, Change, Innovation, and Disruption. Using this Approach, project managers are more prepared and skilled to lead organizations through growth by running programs and projects critical to overall organizational success. She also shares how Project Management Training has become more behavioral and less technical which provides project managers with essential tools to become successful. Belinda also shares her own story as a young woman starting in a male dominated field, how that has changed and the role that has played in her life with her daughters.

Innovation and Project Management are two terms not often associated. As a leader in our field, Dr. Kerzner is examining innovation in project management through understanding our past as well as understanding the future needs of our organizations and customers. He shares stories of working at the beginning of modern project management and the impetus and limitations of Earned Value, also his personal experiences with his daughter as a project manager facing challenges leading international projects. We hear how measuring success on projects has changed from on time, on budget to now over hundreds of available metrics. He shares how and why project success is now defined as “did you create business value.”

Listen in to the full episode to hear the details from both of these industry leaders. We covered much in our hour and I wish we had more time to dig even deeper.

Tune in for upcoming shows with Project Management leaders discussing a wide range of current topics and events! Our next show will be December 6th with Naomi Caietti and Raoul Encinas.
