Lunch and Learn - From Content to Context: Understanding Your LinkedIn Data
We all have access to the same LinkedIn data, yet most of us have no idea what it means or where to find it. Most users treat LinkedIn as a passive tool, missing the wealth of data sitting right in front of them. This presentation is the result of a year-long deep dive into the platform's analytics through trial, error, and analysis.

This is not a session full of hacks and shortcuts, this is about teaching where to find the information and ways to analyze it for your benefit.

Overview:
There are many ways to improve your professional knowledge and skills. One way is to increase your knowledge by reading current and relevant project management and professional leadership books. We've created book clubs that are designed to be small discussion groups led by a facilitator.

It's an informal group meeting for a Saturday morning where one person serves as the facilitator to guide and promote discussion. It is an excellent way to meet other project professionals and open a dialogue regarding trends and challenges experienced by those in project management roles.
And, earn PDUs!

NOTE: It is not a requirement to be a member of PMI to join this book club meeting.

Current Book:
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals eBook : Burkeman, Oliver

The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.
Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks
Agenda:
The facilitator will open the session and handle the meeting logistics. The group will rate and discuss the selected book.
