Upcoming sessions
Learning Circle for the Fall
The next Learning Circle will be about No Hard Feelings by Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy. There will be a series of four Zoom sessions, at 2-week intervals through October and November, and each week will have an evening slot (starting Tuesday 17 October)* and a lunchtime slot (starting Wednesday 11 October)*. Fee is $50 for the series (book not included). To register, click here or send me an email at robyn@lyricmgmt.com. *subject to interest and availability. A minimum of 4 participants per slot is required for the Circle to proceed. A learning circle is a group or community of people learning together, with and from each other. It is a peer-supported, mentor-facilitated study group, focusing on a specific topic and/or goal, and it builds on the diversity of the circle's participants to harness their collective knowledge and experience, enhancing learning and professional development and growing purposeful and inclusive networks. |
PMP Exam Prep Study Group
In October, I'm planning to host a virtual study group for PMP Exam Preparation*. Meeting weekly, participants will need to register in the PMI Authorized On-line PMP® Exam Prep (free sample available here) and ideally have a copy of the current (7th edition) PMBOK® Guide. The study group will meet weekly starting the week of 16 October (exact date and time to be finalized with the study group) for eight weeks. Fee is $75 for the series (PMI course and PMBOK not included). Click here to register, or email me at robyn@lyricmgmt.com for more information. *subject to interest and availability. A minimum of 6 participants is required. This study group may also be effective for those aiming to take the CAPM exam. NB: I am not delivering PMP Exam Prep myself - I am hosting the study group only. |
