DELIVERING PROJECT EXCELLENCE CONFERENCE TO FEATURE WOMEN-ONLY LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

The Delivering Project Excellence Conference, scheduled for June 5-7, 2006 in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, promises to be a unique experience with a number of innovative features. One of these is a women-only post-conference seminar presented by Sue Hodgkinson, CEO of The Personal Brand Company.

According to Dick Rutledge, Founder of Delivering Project Excellence: "Everyone should be concerned about their brand, but women face additional hurdles in making their brand work for them. This post-conference workshop unteaches some of the deeply held lessons that are part of women's socialization."

Susan Hodgkinson is the Founder of The Personal Brand Company. She is a leadership development expert, award-winning executive coach, and professional speaker. Her expertise in personal brand management is built upon her success in working inside organizations in healthcare, financial services and state and local government. She is the creator of the proprietary Leadership Brand Management and Personal Brand Management methodologies. Hodgkinson's work has most recently been featured on Fox News, at The Conference Board, The Boston Chamber of Commerce, and in Employee Benefits News, Profiles in Diversity and Women's Business Journal. She is the author of "The Leader's Edge: Using Personal Branding to Drive Performance and Profit". She is also a competitive triathlete.

Other pre and post conference workshops include "Lean Project Portfolios: Increasing Value by Improving Project Flow", "Creating a Business-Centric Culture Using Six Sigma", and "Lean Plan Builder: Achieve Project Success by Knowing How to Get There".

Not of all of the conference attendees will be at the workshops, however. Many will be taking advantage of the facilities offered by the five-star Scottsdale Resort and Spa, including world-class spa services, award-winning cuisine, and two 18-hole golf courses. The conference also includes a round robin tennis doubles mixer and a welcome reception where Steuben Glass collector items will be awarded.
