Hello Reader, Lots of people seem to be job hunting at the moment, or even simply moving around within the organisation because it’s that end of year sorting out time. If you or a colleague are leaving a role and thinking about how to manage transferring your client work to someone else, this is for you.

I want to start 2025 strong, with more focus on balance. I have spent Q4 working bizarre hours on one project and I need to shift that around. What about you? It is a good time to be thinking about what you want to get out of 2025, even if you know that your plans and goals are likely to change. Is it training you're after? Is it a promotion?...
Hello Reader, Black Friday (day, week, month?) is here, and I'm happy to report that this is a great time of year for project managers to save on their training. Starting with my own.
