BACK IN THE SADDLE

As the PMI Frederick Site returns to support the chapter, it’s a perfect time to reflect on what’s transpired over the past few years as the world has changed…yet again. Carl Pritchard brings a unique, life-

changed perspective to the presentation, examining how all of our lives have been modified over the past few years, and what we can and should be doing to leverage the new insights and opportunities that off-time/downtime present for us. Carl dives into the opportunity for personal and professional reinvention, and the need to look forward toward the skills and capabilities that prepare us for the days and years ahead.

Key Takeaways:

By the time this presentation is complete, participants will be able to:

• Identify at least three meaningful changes in their lives over the past three years
• Point to opportunities created by those changes
• Establish their next steps toward leveraging at least one of those opportunities
