New Year, New Goals: Setting the Stage for Success | MPI Pittsburgh

January 22 @ 9:00 am - 11:30 am

New Year, New Goals: Setting the Stage for Success

9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast

9:30am: Welcome & Membership Townhall

Join us for our January Membership Townhall & Education Event! Kick off the new year with MPI Pittsburgh and join us for an engaging morning where we’ll introduce our 2025 Board of Directors, Regional Representative, and Volunteer Chairs, and share the chapter’s exciting business plan, strategic initiatives, and volunteer opportunities for the year ahead.

10:00am: Education Session with Fired Up! Culture

Following our 30-minute townhall, we’re thrilled to welcome Mike Robertson, Director of Client Experience & Development at Fired Up Culture. Mike will lead an interactive session on goal setting and strategic planning, designed to inspire and equip you with actionable tools to start 2025 strong.

Every January, millions of people start their year with a New Year’s Resolution. By the end of the year, over 80% of those goals will have failed, with many failing only a few weeks after they begin. Organizations face similar challenges, with Harvard Business Review estimating that 90% of organizations will fail to successfully implement their strategic plan.

Why do so many goals fail? What can you do to ensure your personal and professional goals succeed?

Mike Robertson will share best practices compiled by Fired Up! Culture, a firm that works with leaders and organizations across the country to support high performing teams and change management, to ensure 2025 is your most successful year yet.

11:00am: Networking & Venue Tours
11:30am Event Concludes
