Alison Murray’s Summary

My speciality is in improving team performance and developing PMOs for Learning Organisations. I can also distill vast amounts of information into manageable chunks on which management can make decisions.

Observations on Getting Things Done: http://AlisonKMurray.blogspot.com/
All Things PMO: http://AllThingsPMO.blogspot.com/

PMO Association: volunteer co-chair for Member Services

Always in a hurry to make my gadgets more quickly work for me - no fears of trying new technologies or working with challenging teams. Always looking for best ways of getting the best job done quickly - and bringing everyone with us!

I make things easy and enjoyable to learn, develop and engender automatic affirmative action which always accelerates achievement.

On a mission to find a way to make it fun for everyone to learn to improve their personal dynamics so that their team contribution is that much more valuable.

Interested in a myriad of things and getting on with helping make the world a better place - one small step at a time.

Childhood spent moving from post to post as a navy brat; my in depth training in music performance and consulting have given me a kitbag of skills I use everyday - to get the best job done in the time available.

For example, I can type almost faster than I can think. I can pick up a new application and "figure out" very quickly how to produce the output to the level I require.

TM and Yoga are two of the techniques I use to remain calm, focused and energised to do my personal best.

Good voice techniques and NLP are the foundations of my softly spoken style to clarify the heart of what is needed. I coach and run proactive voice training to maximise the Resonance of Your Message.

Avid reader - thinking skills, achievement, and what the future holds are special interest areas for me.
de Bono, Buzan, Senge, Tracy, Johnson & Blanchard, many others plus good Biographies and Interesting Fiction, and quite naturally, Comedy
