Connie J. Plowman

I am a strengths-based leader and put my strengths to use in my leadership roles.

• As an education leader, I introduce CliftonStrengths to students, instructors, and staff -- to drive student and academic success.
• As a corporate leader, I introduce CliftonStrengths to managers and direct reports -- to drive employee and business success.
• As a volunteer leader, I introduce CliftonStrengths to volunteer groups and Board of Directors -- to drive mission and organizational success.

My area of expertise is project management.  I am a certified Project Management Professional by the Project Management Institute.  For 22 years, I worked for an international project management training and consulting company and retired as their COO.  For 12 years, I worked in employee, customer, and executive education for IBM Corporation.  Today, I teach project management at the community college and university levels.  Throughout my career, I have experienced the value in teams using their individual and collective strengths to drive success.

I am a frequent guest speaker at Job Seekers groups helping professionals use their strengths in their career transition. 

I am a published author having co-authored two books published by Business Expert Press. 

• Developing Strengths-Based Project Teams
