How to be awesome at getting things done

Hello Reader, One of the most common responses to the question "How did you become a project manager?" is accidentally. It often starts with planning an event or having the responsibility of getting tasks done. I am running a workshop next week if you have found yourself in that position. It will help you understand what a project is and how to define success. If you would like someone to guide you through what a project is all about, join me at my new workshop on 13 November, 7.00 pm UK time (2.00 pm EDT). You will leave the live training knowing:

The short version is that it can genuinely open doors, particularly if you're moving into project management from another field or you're in the early stages of your career and need something...
Hello Reader, One of the things nobody really prepares you for in project management is how isolating it can be, not in a dramatic way, just in the ordinary day-to-day sense of having problems you can't fully articulate to your team, questions you can't ask your stakeholders, and situations where the textbook answer is technically correct but completely useless in the actual context you're dealing with. Most project managers don't have a peer group. You might have colleagues, but they're busy...
