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:
It costs $7. Learn more and book your place here:
I hope to see you next week! Elizabeth P.S. I would appreciate it if you could share this with your teams if this is something they would find helpful. |

Having said that, this is unusual for me. I used to struggle a lot more with managing my time – but over the last few years I’ve figured something out. Time passes regardless. I know, that’s not rocket science. It’s how you prioritise and use your time that matters, and that means focusing on the...
Hello Reader, People often ask me how project managers can be evaluated, or what targets should be set for people in project roles. And at this time of year as leaders think about annual reviews, it seems to be even more of a conversation topic. It’s a bit tricky to provide a one-size-fits-all answer, but I have come up with some Key Performance Indicators for project managers, that you can use as a starting point for your own team. There are so many ways you could track how well a project...
