It’s that time of year when the holiday hubbub starts, and it’s easy to get caught up in the frenzy. This year, take some time to plan what you want to enjoy with your family during the holiday season. We can help you with tips and planning ideas in this month’s Know How Network article and in Project Management Makes the Most of Holiday Resources.You’ll also want to check out this month’s PDU Corner to learn more about our 5PDU PM of the Holidays online course to help you handle even a last-minute party with finesse and no stress. I find that this is a great time to look back on the Lessons Learned for the year. Before getting caught up in parties and New Year’s resolutions, take some time to look at the lessons you’ve learned throughout the year. Check out the guidelines in The Morning After – a.k.a. Lessons Learned and download our free Lessons Learned template to get started. And be sure to visit http://podcast.cheetahlearning.com/podcastgen to listen to my podcast this month, too. Most of all, be sure to enjoy the season.
