  Navigate Chaos

  Join the Change Maker's Book Club on June 4th for this special edition featuring a great book discussion with author Steven B. Wiley. His book Navigate Chaos is currently available on Amazon for the special price of $7.99 for the paperback and $2.99 for the Kindle edition. 

  Amazon Synopsis:

  Are you overwhelmed by the chaos of life? Do your professed priorities often fall prey to the daily demands at work and at home? Do you lack balance or struggle to even understand what such a concept might be?

  As a previously self-professed zombie in the workforce and life, Steve Wiley shares his personal journey and proven approach to “navigate chaos” in pursuit of healthy life balance. In doing so, he dismisses the notion that personal fulfillment and professional success are mutually exclusive. Through impactful stories, relevant research, and practical guidance, Navigate Chaos conveys a simple, yet effective 5-step process to balance work, family, and other life priorities. Via the intentional pursuit of healthy life balance, you’ll discover PEACE that frees you from fear, anxiety, and stress while enhancing your productivity at work and fulfillment in life.

  Author Profile

  In the midst of a promising consulting career, Steve Wiley fell in love, bought a new home, and had two children. Although he checked all the boxes for what he thought would be a happy and fulfilling life, he was stressed, exhausted, and unhealthy.

  Eventu­ally, he crashed. Steve needed a better way to live and work. He intentionally restored the priorities in his life and pursued healthy balance. After the most successful years of his career and life, he started CEEK LLC with the intention of ridding the world of “zombies” in the work­force. Today, Steve is a successful business owner, author, and inspi­rational speaker on topics related to culture, values, leadership, and life balance. More importantly, Steve is a fully engaged and loving husband, father, son, brother, friend, and colleague living a healthy, balanced life.

  Registration is free for ACMP DC Members and $10 for non-members.

  ACMP-DC is pleased to present a five-part webinar series aimed at internal change agents—FREE to chapter members ($10 charge per webinar for non-members).

  A well-placed and empowered internal change agent can be the difference between a successful change that increases the organization’s bottom line and a change effort that fails to make any impact at all. In this five-part series, Mary Barnes, change expert, executive coach and founder and CEO of Evolve, will guide participants through a myriad of tactical tips and tools you can use to become a respected influencer in your organization – someone who makes an impact well above your position or paygrade in the organization; someone who leaders see as a strategic advisor on all things change.

  The series is tailored for internal change agents – at any level in your career – and can compliment many of the change management frameworks out there. We will get tactical and answer several questions around:

  • developing your influence,
  • customizing standard frameworks for your organization,
  • managing up to leadership,
  • using measures, policies, performance management, leadership messaging, and more to help reinforce change, and
  • bringing in external change experts that will best benefit your organization.

  Offered in five one-hour sessions over the course of five weeks, the series begins with the first webinar on Wednesday, June 17. All webinars will run from noon to 1:00 p.m. You can choose to attend all webinars in the series or pick and choose which topics interest you the most.
