This document outlines the planning and implementation of an election campaign by an anti-establishment group in Lebanon. It discusses identifying the need for political change through democratic elections rather than revolution. The group, Kelna Beirut, initiated their campaign by forming a core team, scouting candidates, and securing initial funding. They faced challenges in planning due to uncertainties, such as fluctuating resources and a volatile political landscape. Execution required flexibility to adapt to unforeseen issues around fundraising, candidate recruitment, and media coverage. Lessons learned include the importance of project management principles for efficiency when resources are limited, and treating political change as a long-term process.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Our vital role as project managers: "Quotes from PMI Region Mentor (MENA Region)
and PMI Lebanon Chapter Board Members
"Amid the chaos of all recommendations, suggestions, and theories, it is obviously hard to know exactly what
to do. However, we should focus first on protecting ourselves, our families, and co-workers. Then, as project
managers we need to monitor the indicators on how the pandemic is evolving and conduct a planning using
epidemiological and economical information. We should never miss to be prepared for the next phase. Planning
under uncertainties can assist in creating a compass for project managers to follow when all this crisis is over."
Dr. Claude Khalil - PMI MENA Region Mentor
"If you are waiting for this to pass so that you can go back doing what you used to do, then you are heading in
the wrong direction. The world around us is changing on all levels, economy, culture, health....It's time to accept
change. It's time to reinvent." Hady Haddad - VP Finance PMI Lebanon Chapter
"The current circumstances represent an opportunity for project managers to fully leverage their leadership
and communication skills and to utilize technology effectively in order to achieve projects' objectives.
The success of the remote project management approach will allow for an increased flexible working
arrangements." Nelly Khnaiser Sakr - VP Administration PMI Lebanon Chapter

Constantly presenting dynamic speakers with variety of subjects related

and Technology Industries
TESTIMONIAL:
I consider PMI-LC monthly talks as a personal asylum to me where I've added valuable knowledge, skills
and insights with a diversity and broad topics involving career-oriented speakers and participants.
The speakers are "handpicked" and experts in their fields and in the know-how world with unique charismatic
personalities. Yet, the topics cover our day-to-day encounters of what we face as project managers in various
sectors and industries.
On the other hand, the attendees and audiences are as well knowledgeable in which the debates
and in-session discussions are literally as important as the sessions themselves.
Finally, I salute the PMI-LC staff for their efforts and contributions to make the local chapter in general one
of the leading and best chapters in the PMI world due to their dedications and support to make the monthly
talk sessions very enjoyable and beneficial for the local members and visitors.

10. INTERVIEW
1. How do you describe the role of project manager
to your friends and family?
The role of the Project Manager can be simplified to "
the art of making things happen". With the right skills,
knowledge and experience, the project manager role
is all about achieving the objectives and succeeding
in projects despite all conditions and circumstances.
2. How do you apply and benefit from your
management skills in your life?
In general, being a project manager becomes your
second nature, intuitively and without effort you see
yourself managing things in life as if you are running
a project. So, it helps you easily to manage and
organize your day to day activities but also long-term
plans.
3. How did project management credentials help
in advancing your career and knowledge?
My credentials played a vital role in helping me
to advance on the personal and professional level.
It helped me tuning the knowledge acquired
from experience to the knowledge learned from
internationally recognized practice needed to advance
in my career.
PMP and other PMI esteemed credentials, granted me
the easy-access, a visa-like permit, to work anywhere
in the world, since the certificate is well renowned as
a high level of professionalism, which PMP provides.

MR. ANDRE MAHFOUZ
4. Can you share with us a successful project you have
worked on and its lessons learned?
I have been assigned on a very challenging project
which cannot follow the usual project stages, because
the project was in a very critical situation and about
to fail. I had to deal with not only recovering what
has been missed out and rebuilding the project
standards and elements but also rebuilding a mutual
trust, regaining credibility by re-establishing a
proper relationship with all stakeholders to revive
the project. Finally, I managed getting things back on
track and succeeded in delivering the project.
The lessons learned is: perseverance is key while
running projects.
5.Any advice and recommendation you can give
to other project managers
Project Management is all about continuous learning
and constant knowledge building. So, my advice is to
keep on learning, upgrade always your knowledge to
the latest innovations, and think outside the box to
deal with new situations.

12. PMI Straight Talk with Sunil Episode 5
As you all know, PMI has embarked on quite a significant transformation, which is changing a lot of things in
the organization. One of the things that you may have heard about is some changes that are happening to our
certifications. So I thought I would take the opportunity to actually find out a little bit more about what’s going
on in that space and put somebody on the hot seat. So I have with me here today Sierra Hampton. So Sierra has
been instrumental in shaping our certifications in the past and taking us forward into the future. So I’m going
to double-click a little bit on some of the things that are happening in that space, and hopefully we will both
learn a lot more about what’s going on.
Sunil’s Remarks to LIVPM in January 2020
In this 22-minute video, Sunil reflects on PMI’s accomplishments and learnings from 2019, and provides
a look forward for 2020 and beyond. He also outlines the key elements of his vision for PMI 4.0 and the
future of the profession.
