So how do we take the errors we've made and grow from them? What we do after making a mistake matters. So here are the three key things you should do to make the best of your mistake.

Apologize

Yes, this is the first one. Always own up to the mistake you have made and apologize for it. You cannot go any further unless you do this first. If the error is small enough, you can use humor in your apology but always be direct in it.

I just love the variety, uniqueness and sunshine we all bring to the world.

I also really love words and so I especially enjoyed a recent LinkedIn post from Brandon Redlinger, Sr. Dir. of Product Marketing at Revenue.io who so succinctly demonstrates the nuances and differentiators of branding and marketing.

We'll miss a ton of great stuff, so if you found something you think is worth sharing please add it to the comments below.

B-to-B Marketing Doesn't Have to Be Boring Most people believe B2B marketing to be dry and dull, however what researchers have found leads to this assumption is that it's not the product or services offered that are causing this image, but how it's presented. Thank you, Natalie Diamond, for breaking these ideologies down.

With such a large volume of emails to do something about, most people feel overwhelmed and delete, delete, delete the ones they can live without-these are most likely your marketing emails.

How does it feel to know that the emails your marketing department works tirelessly to perfect are being completely ignored, simply because they're competing in the flourishing attention economy? I bet it doesn't feel good. In fact, it probably feels like your efforts are pointless! But marketing emails aren't pointless if they're eventually opened and at least skimmed through.

Mission

• Advance the PM profession through the promotion of PMI certification training and project excellence acknowledgement.

• Provide members and volunteers with networking, leadership roles and superior development and education events and activities,

• Ensure alignment with PMIs talent triangle, compliance with PMIs core values and contribution to the improvement of the PM body of knowledge.

We are only one of over 270 Chapters serving Project Management Institute (PMI) members and communities in more than 70 countries around the world. These local communities help spread awareness of the profession and PMI by reaching out to local governments and organizations, hosting events or seminars for local practitioners and providing opportunities to learn, network and earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) toward maintaining credentials.

Sponsorships are available.

The objectives of the Chapter are to:

• Promote and advance the profession of Business Analysis
• Provide opportunities to our members to gain knowledge and network with experienced professionals across various industries and government agencies
• Provide access for members to a formal "knowledge base" as well as forums for sharing expertise, expressing professional opinions and building a reputation within the industry
• Provide pathways to learn about business analysis best practices
• Create corporate support for the IIBA within the local market by superior marketing/awareness programs that demonstrate the value of business analysis and the IIBA
• Liaise with industry and association partners to increase awareness and benefit of IIBA Chapter members
• Encourage and provide opportunities for our members to become Business Analysis certified professionals

As our events calendar and past events reflect, we have a mix of day time symposiums for professional development, after work meetings focused on a topic of particular concern to business analysts, and online meetings and webinars to develop your technical skills and analytical competencies, as well as one to two premiere dinner events per year with at least one distinguished guest speaker.
