Podcast appearances and mentions of dana brownlee

About Our Guest Dana Brownlee is a speaker, author, and trainer who specializes in project management, meeting facilitation, and leadership skills. She is also a vocal advocate for anti-racism and works to address racial disparities in the workplace. Dana has a background in corporate jobs and has been an entrepreneur for 20 years. She has written articles for Forbes and is passionate about educating others on anti-racism and promoting equity.  Dana will be launching a new class, “Pitching Yourself Without a Publicist” soon.  Make sure to follow her on ⁠Linkedin ⁠to learn more.  Summary Dana Brownlee discusses her journey towards becoming an advocate for anti-racism in the workplace. She emphasizes the importance of everyone taking accountability for addressing racial disparities and highlights the need for anti-racism to be a priority in all areas of an organization, not just in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) departments. Dana also shares her insights on the role of managers in protecting and supporting black and brown employees, and she provides practical steps for encouraging workplace anti-racism. Key Takeaways: Anti-racism is everyone's responsibility, and it requires active participation from all individuals in an organization. DEI efforts should be separate from anti-racism initiatives to ensure a focused and strategic approach to addressing racial disparities. Managers play a crucial role in protecting and supporting black and brown employees by creating an inclusive and equitable work environment. Organizations should prioritize anti-racism by conducting gap analyses, setting goals, and holding leaders accountable for progress. Reparations and acknowledging the impact of historical racial injustices are necessary steps towards achieving racial equity.

Two Interviews in One I've been looking forward to sharing this interview with Dana Brownlee for many weeks. In many ways, it's two interviews wrapped up into one. We start by talking with Dana about her book entitled The Unwritten Rules of Managing Up: Project Management Techniques from the Trenches. It's a book packed with insights to help manage those who manage us! But I didn't want to miss the opportunity to have a conversation with Dana about race.

BILL YATES:  Oh, man.  This is such a loaded question.  You're going to get me in trouble.  Andy... WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, we don't have to talk any current. BILL YATES:  Okay, good, yeah.  I was going to say, Andy Crowe's not in the room right now, but he will definitely listen to this.  So, got an outstanding manager now.  But yeah, I mean, this is just a part of life; right?  We have managers who – sometimes our boss, our manager is super supportive and great.  Other times there are challenges, and so fortunately we have Dana to talk with us about some of those challenges. Meet Dana WENDY GROUNDS: So our guest today is Dana Brownlee, she is a PMP, and she founded Professionalism Matters, which is an Atlanta-based corporate training company.  Her business expertise has been featured in Forbes.com, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, to name a few.  And Dana likes to give project managers tools they can use.  Dana, welcome to Manage This. DANA BROWNLEE:  Thanks so much for having me. WENDY GROUNDS:  Dana, won't you first tell us just a bit about yourself and how you entered the project management field? DANA BROWNLEE:  Certainly.  Well, I started my company back in 2003.  I'm dating myself a little bit, can't believe it's been that long.  But I started in project management I guess in the early ‘90s.  And in fact I remember it was so long ago, I remember applying for my PMP in handwritten paper. BILL YATES:  Oh, okay. WENDY GROUNDS:  Wow. DANA BROWNLEE:  Like printing it off and writing it out and actually mailing it in, putting a stamp in, so I'm officially old.  But I worked in corporate for a number of years, and then I started my own training company, and I went out, and I teach training classes and give speaking events.  But I do think that I've always been wired kind of as a project manager, I dot my I's; I cross my T's. In fact, my husband laughed.  He said, you know, “This is definitely for you.  You've got a knack for telling other people what to do.”  So some of it is kind of in my blood.  But I love it. The Inspiration for The Unwritten Rules of Managing Up WENDY GROUNDS:  Dana has written an excellent book that Bill and I have both enjoyed reading.  It's called “The Unwritten Rules of Managing Up:  Project Management Techniques from the Trenches.”  And in this book we read about different types of bosses and techniques that you can implement when working with these different types of managers.  Dana, what inspired you to write the book? DANA BROWNLEE:  Actually, my audiences inspired me to write the book.  I never intended to speak on this topic, to write on this topic, but let me tell you what started happening.  I give talks, and I provide training on a wide range of topics.  So I might be out speaking about communication skills,

This Podcast Is Episode Number 02##, And It Will Be About ###   Today's Guest Article Is From Tom Jager, professional blogger  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American science writer Robert Heinlein once said: “Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” Do you agree? That’s okay if you don’t because laziness is a quality that is not commonly associated with success. However, working as little as possible is a strategy that many people embraced and ultimately reached new heights. For example, Dana Brownlee, the president of a corporate training company Professionalism Matters wrote on Entrepreneur that the “Lazy Entrepreneur” philosophy helped her to become incredibly successful and enhance her business in a unique way. So can laziness be good for business? What about contractors - can they be both lazy and successful? Undoubtedly, working as a contractor requires a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed, because the profession requires you to make most of the important decisions. Completing projects within deadlines, finding clients, negotiating prices, sending offers – all of this demands a lot of your time. But does that mean that you can’t enjoy occasional laziness? Of course not. Let’s see how you can be both lazy and successful as a contractor. Be Smart About Meetings For you as a contractor, meetings are important because you use them to get more clients. However, as important as they are, they can take a lot of time, and most of it can be dedicated to something different. On average, 25-50 percent of meeting time is wasted, according to MeetingKing. That’s why 47 percent of employees and managers consider too many meetings the biggest waste of time. To make sure that you’re not wasting time on meetings, use technology. It’ll help you to be more efficient and save a lot of time that you can spend doing what you want. Take Regular Breaks For some people (especially bosses!), taking regular breaks is perceived as destructive to effective and efficient work. That’s why most of employees spend the majority of their day at their desks, staring at computer screens. In addition to preventing some harm being done to your health, you should take regular breaks at your work to actually become more productive. Yes, you read it right: taking breaks and spending less time on working can turn you into a better worker. Think about it: have you ever faced a problem that you couldn’t resolve, decided to take a small break, and then the answer came to you suddenly? If you have, then you know that refreshing your brain helps to see a situation in a new way and come up with the right solution. Here are more benefits of taking regular breaks: They can prevent decision fatigue. Decision fatigue occurs when you have to make a lot of decisions and your willpower and reasoning ability wear down.   Breaks are important for physical and emotional health. It is a known fact that constant sitting, for example, at your office desk, increases your risk for obesity diabetes, heart disease, and depression. You know what they say, “sitting is a new smoking.”   Breaks increase creativity and productivity. Working for hours without taking breaks results in stress and exhaustion. On the other hand, taking some time for rest replenishes mental resources, refreshes the mind, and contributes to being more creative.   By taking breaks from work, you’ll expose yourself to fun side activities that may inspire you to do something and provide you with positive energy. Automate as Much as You Can Technology can be your best helper with tasks that you do every day. For example, if you work in social media promotion, there is a good chance that your clients require you to build their presence by posting information on a daily basis. This task can be easily automated using tools such as Buffer that allow to schedule and manage social media posts across multiple networks. As the result, you’ll maintain the same productivity but have more time for something else. Besides, it’ll allow to be more consistent and give an opportunity to complete projects for clients who live in other countries because time differences don’t matter with automation. Let go of the Urge to Work for Work’s Sake Many people work just because they think they should. They’re not okay with doing nothing because they think that only hard work delivers stellar results. While they’re certainly right that working hard is good, but what about working smart? One should not work because it just seems smart. Why? Because working more doesn’t necessarily means better results. A much better way is to focus on the things that provide the real value for you, your customers, and your career. CONCLUSION: As you can see, being a lazy contractor isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it can be quite beneficial for your career because it helps to focus on something that really matters.

PMs are often the product of their education—their technical education of how to handle the 10 knowledge areas and perform the activities required to maintain sound processes. Sadly, that’s not enough to show real value in the discipline, but rather a focus on getting the project completed, getting the team to function soundly, and wielding the influence necessary to navigate organizational challenges are some of the key strengths that are needed.
