Projects are everywhere. New college graduates receive their first assignment immediately out of school. Their challenge: Find a job. This effort requires research, networking, communication, and a keen eye to deadline. Donald Trump, host of The Apprentice, showcases the power of project management in each new episode. Contestants are judged on their ability to execute project assignments; those who plan well, are creative, deliver on time and within budget are deemed successful business leaders, worthy of winning the Grand Prize. New products require new projects-- from video games to toothpaste to disease-curing medicine -- they all demand endless hours of detailed planning, precise execution and terrific teamwork.
Yet, in spite of growing project management presence, most students about to embark on their professional careers are ill-equipped at handling project assignments.
Lisa's new program is specifically designed with college students in mind. Called Want Success? Try Vanilla, her one-hour program educates, entertains and advises students on how to avert professional mishap by recognizing and developing simple core competencies to promote project and business success. After attending Lisa's program, students will
- Learn how to balance project assignments with their "real" job
- Acquire teambuilding skills, including dealing with difference among team members
- Develop leadership skills when forced to do "more with less"
- Perform well under tight deadlines and competing priorities
This program is exactly what every student needs to know to succesful in today's project-oriented business world.
"One of the practical business lessons that Lisa DiTullio shares with audiences is "serve vanilla". Make no mistake, there is nothing "vanilla" about Lisa-not her style and not her message. She has a style of connecting with students that is simultaneously energetic and easy. She keeps them engaged and makes it look effortless."
