IPMI invites all industry professionals in parking, transportation, and mobility to discuss how the COVID-19 crisis has impacted your various mobility programs and options, including how we plan for municipal on street operations post COVID-19.
Now more than ever, empathy, self-awareness, and sensitivity are key aspects to leading teams and maintaining healthy relationships (just ask any celebrity busted on social media for complaining about cabin fever from their palatial home). Meeting employees where their heads are to communicate change, celebrate success, and break bad news are the leadership qualities that win the day in today’s environment.
If you’re leading others and, would like to go from good to better or haven’t really had to lean on these aspects of leadership until now, this online Shoptalk will be well worth your time. Join Colleen Niese and Vicki Pero from The Marlyn Group for a highly interactive session to discuss key strategies and take away easy-to-implement tactics to ensure your leadership from a distance will:
Objectives:
· Make decisions that consider team members needs in a COVID-19 world.
· Help manage stress for your team and you(!).
· Support all in accomplishing the work at hand with as much focus as can be expected.
Speakers:
Colleen M. Niese, SPHR understanding of what makes a business tick comes from her nearly 25 years of parking industry experience, and her insatiable curiosity about high-performing business.

She possesses a unique skillset to listen to a client’s needs and connecting Zephire’s holistic solution to each individual’s expectation. In her spare time, Colleen is a hopeless Cleveland Browns fan (there’s always next year!).

In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, IPMI decided to transition from an in-person Conference to a virtual event. Our first priority was to keep all of our attendees, sponsors, and vendors safe.
It saddens me that I won’t be able to see many of you in person this year. But I am happy that I will still be able to interact with you virtually.
This may be your first virtual conference—the same for me. I have never attended a virtual event on this scale and am very excited to be a part of it!
Being part of IPMI’s professional development team, I’m looking forward to the process of making this year’s IPMI Conference & Expo a reality. We will be bringing you more than 40 hours of education, both live and on-demand. Every attendee will have the option to attend all of the education sessions and visit our virtual Expo hall.
With only weeks until the start of the Conference, here are five things to keep in mind:
I am looking forward to seeing each and every one of you at this year’s Conference & Expo.

The saying goes that “necessity is the mother of invention.” True enough.
We read on a daily basis about the realities of our changing world in response to this pandemic. An abundance of caution is necessary as we try to remain healthy and safe. For most, the pandemic has changed what we do and how we do it. As an IPMI onsite trainer, it has certainly limited my ability to provide training to our industry’s frontline staff. Until now.
Beginning April 24, IPMI is taking our popular frontline, instructor-led training classes online. To meet our members’ needs at this time, we’re approaching this training in a slightly different format: Our standard three-hour trainings have been divided into shorter, one-hour segments.
Timing is everything and like always, we’ll work with you to schedule the courses when it works best for your team. There are two options to participate in the training:
We’re also excited to be rolling out new content. Kim Jackson, CAPP; Matt Penney; and I have developed timely new sessions appropriate for anyone within your organization:
IPMI will offer these frontline development courses through June at a deeply discounted, per-person price: Sign up for a single session for $30 or any combination of three sessions for $75. Class sizes will be limited to create opportunities for conversation and interaction.
We know that our members are facing challenging times. It’s our hope to bring professional development to your team no matter their physical work location.
Please reach out to me directly if you’ve got questions.

“Talent is the multiplier. The more energy and attention you invest in it, the greater the yield. The time you spend with your best is, quite simply, your most productive time.”
If you aren’t familiar with Marcus Buckingham, quoted above, I recommend you check him out. He’s an amazing speaker and author on talent and professional development. One of his central themes and key ideas is that we spend too much time focusing on our weaknesses rather than developing those unique talents that make us special and gifted. Sure, we may not be great at expenses and accounting; we need to do our due diligence in those areas.
To truly reach our potential, he emphasizes that we should dive into understanding our strengths, and work to hone and maximize them (sharpening our individual saws, so to speak). We can do that by spending time figuring out not only where we excel, but also what we truly enjoy. When we think about our professional lives, what brings us the most satisfaction and enjoyment? What do we do first in our day, and what do we avoid doing?
Start there. Write it down and discuss it with your mentor or a trusted colleague. Then look for ways to get better at those tasks or projects. If that’s writing, spend more time writing. I consider that one of my superpowers–share yours here and let us know what you are working on!
