Join me on Wednesday (PM training)

Hello Reader, These days, everyone is running projects. Whether you are a team leader, EA/PA, event planner, software tester... the list goes on. On Wednesday I'm leading a one-off training session on PM Basics: what to do, how to get started, how to break down the work, and keep everyone happy. If you've got new starters in the team, people you mentor or colleagues who would benefit, please pass the details on! Equally, if you are feeling like it wouldn't hurt to have a quick refresher yourself, then please join me. The training is on 13 November, 7.00 pm UK time (2.00 pm EDT). You will leave the live training knowing:
And you'll get a couple of templates that will help you identify priorities and get everyone on the same page about what work needs to be done so you can kick things off properly (without it feeling like you've got to jump through loads of hoops). It costs $7. Learn more and book your place here:
I hope to see you next week! Elizabeth P.S. If this isn't the right training for you, then Coursera probably has a course that is a better fit. I've done project management, programme management, AI, mentoring and leadership courses via Coursera. Their annual Plus account is 40% until 12 December. |

Hosting better meetings Recently I’ve had a few meetings with poor attendance and a couple where I took ages to get the minutes out. I know that’s bad practice, it’s just to do with having more priority things to do instead (for the...

If you hold a professional certification like the Project Management Professional, an APM qualification, or PRINCE2, you’ll also be expected to carry out some professional development each year as well. And that all costs money – often money that our employers won’t pay for us. There is another way...
