Keynote Speaker: Michael McQueen
Multi-award-winning speaker, social researcher
and bestselling author
“MasteringtheArtofMomentum”
Momentum can be defined as “the impetus and driving force
gained by the development of a process or course of events.”
As a PMI chapter leader, momentum is crucial as you work to
add value for your chapter members through inspiring programmes and valuable
networking.
In this fast-paced keynote session, Michael McQueen will talk about:
• The science and art of momentum—where it comes from and why it makes all the
difference when you’ve got it working for you.
• The five enemies of momentum—the early warning signs that many leaders and
organisations ignore until it’s almost too late.
• The three daily leadership habits that create effortless energy in a team or business.
Michael’s keynote session will inspire you and your PMI chapter to gain (or re-capture)
momentum by creating an action plan to get into the groove and stay there, even after
you feel like your inspiration has evaporated.

ment. The task of managing your chapter and volunteers can initially feel overwhelming. This

Brantlee Underhill, Director, GlobalChapters, PMI
We know how easy it can be to slip into autopilot when attending
a conference—hustling in and out of sessions, responding to emails,
tweets and phone calls, maximising every moment with your volunteering colleagues and
hoping that the next break or meal is a tasty—and healthy—one! In the midst of all of this
multitasking, we may find ourselves in mental and physical overload. We want to offer you a
few minutes to clear and reboot your mind space. In this 30-minute session, have a seat, close
your eyes, hit the pause button, take some deep breaths, and reconnect to your mindful state
of being actively aware in each moment for you to make the most of your Leadership Institute
Meeting experience.

PMI and Chapters: Evolving the ProfessionTogether...................Fanling, Lower Level I
• SoHyun Kang, Manager, Chapter Development–Asia Pacific, PMI
• Brantlee Underhill, Director, GlobalChapters, PMI
The Project Management Institute was founded 48 years ago to help establish, build and
mature the careers and credibility of project management practitioners. Chapters were
created to do the same while growing local member communities. PMI members stay
engaged for the knowledge and networking opportunities, and PMI chapters are a primary
destination for project management practitioners to attain career development education
and enhancement. As the local “face of PMI,” nearly 300 chapters around the world open the
doors for project management practitioners and enable them to learn the skills necessary to
be effective and successful project leaders.
This session will explore how the local chapter connection blends with the global strategy of
PMI. Volunteer leaders are guided by the Catalog of Core and Extended Services to provide
unique chapter value delivery and integrate their plans with the objectives of the Institute.
As we look back on the past 48 years, PMI chapters have been a fundamental reason for the
success of PMI and of the profession. Let’s look ahead towards the next 50 years to see how
we can continue to advance the project management profession… together.

As a new chapter leader with a new role, one of your most
significant challenges is to rapidly transition into this role.
How can you accelerate through the onboarding process?
How can you avoid a “bad transition?” How can you provide
value to your chapter as quickly as possible? The objective of this session is to focus on how
you can effectively transition into this new role. The presenters will use the PMI Chapter
Leaders’ Guide: Strategies for Onboarding and Transitioning to discuss check lists, strategies,
tips and best practises that leaders can use to help transition into their new roles faster and
more effectively.

Conferences and symposiums are seen as great networking and learning events for PMI
chapter leaders. The more experienced participants want to ensure that the event they are
attending is of high value and worth their time and money. Understanding that you cannot
please everyone all of the time, how do you hit the mark with your attendees, speakers,
sponsors and exhibitors with your programme? This session will share interactive exercises
and share experiences of the PMI Singapore Chapter and the PMI Melbourne, Australia
Chapter. Attendees will also learn about A Guide to Organizing a PMI® Chapter Conference,
a resource available to PMI chapters.

PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) programme supports the ongoing
professional development of PMI credential holders.To meet the requirements of the CCR
programme, you must participate in activities that earn you professional development
units (PDUs). PDUs are measuring units that quantify approved learning and professional
development activities.To be eligible for PDUs, the activity must be related to project
management topics that are substantially consistent with the Knowledge Areas and Process
Groups outlined in AGuidetothe Project Management Bodyof Knowledge (PMBOK®Guide).
Many—but not all—of the sessions at the LIM qualify for PDUs. Please check the PDU
information provided with each session in the pages of this journal. You can find out more
about PDUs in the CCR section of your respective credential handbook.
PMI will automatically register professional development units, or PDUs, for PMI certification
and credential holders attending the PMI® Leadership Institute Meeting 2017—Asia Pacific.
This will be done through scanning your Smart Badge at each PDU-generating event (as
listed below). When you scan in prior to a session, the system will record your attendance
at the session and automatically record the appropriate amount of PDUs in the Continuing
Certification Requirements System (CCRS).
It is your responsibility as an attendee to ensure your badge has been scanned if
you want your PDUs recorded.
Upon the completion of this Leadership Institute Meeting, all PDUs scanned will be
uploaded and recorded in the CCRS. Approximately two weeks after the completion of this
event, we are requesting that each attendee log in to the system and verify that his or her
record accurately reflects the PDUs earned at this meeting.
