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:

  • How to identify what success looks like
  • The challenge of balancing time, cost, and quality and how to do it the right way
  • Practical tips for prioritizing work and managing your time
  • How to manage expectations so that satisfaction levels stay high — even if you hit delays or problems.

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!

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.

Hello Reader, I can’t believe that we are already on the countdown to the end of the year! There is still so much I want to do and so few weeks to achieve it in. Here are 3 things that I’m going to focus on next month, and I thought you might like to join me: 1. 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...
