Let's improve our communication skills and confidence throughout the next months.

On May 16th 2025 we will discuss the book:
Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When the Stakes are High - by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler

You will learn how to:

• Respond when someone initiates a Crucial Conversation with you
• Identify and address the lag time between identifying a problem and discussing it
• Communicate more effectively across digital mediums

When stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong, you have three choices: Avoid a crucial conversation and suffer the consequences; handle the conversation poorly and suffer the consequences; or apply the lessons and strategies of Crucial Conversations and improve relationships and results.

Whether they take place at work or at home, with your coworkers or your spouse, Crucial Conversations have a profound impact on your career, your happiness, and your future. With the skills you learn in this book, you'll never have to worry about the outcome of a Crucial Conversation again.

It is time to order the book and read together!

1,5 PDU are available per event; more are available by reading our curated booklist.

Events are free to all and open to all.

Welcome to the PMI Book Club – June Edition!
Join us for an empowering session focused on understanding, building, and applying confidence in leadership and professional life. This month, we’re diving into two powerful reads that complement each other in profound ways:

? Book 1: The Confidence Gap by Russ Harris
Summary:
Grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this book offers a science-backed guide to overcoming fear and self-doubt. Harris explains how action, not perfection, builds confidence. By managing unhelpful thoughts and committing to values-based action, readers learn to move forward despite uncertainty or anxiety.
? Key Takeaways:
• The myth of needing to “feel confident” before acting
• Practical tools to defuse negative self-talk
• The power of values-led behavior

? Book 2: The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman
Summary:
This book explores the gender dynamics of confidence, especially how women experience and express it professionally. Combining neuroscience, psychology, and interviews with powerful women leaders, Kay and Shipman provide insight into why confidence matters more than competence—and how to build it intentionally.
? Key Takeaways:
• Confidence is more important than we think for career advancement
• Genetics, upbringing, and culture all play a role
• Confidence can be cultivated with action, risk-taking, and mindset shifts
