Project Management

Received IBM Blue Core Coaching Certificate in 2018.

With nearly a decade in Management Consulting servicing clients across different industries - Consumer Goods, Retail, Chemical, Healthcare, High-Tech, it's usually the role of a Project Manager (PM) that needs to herd the sheep. Have you tried to herd sheep? They sometimes flock together, sometimes a few diverge, and other times they're just all out in their own space and world. The reason clients pay so much for PM consultants is because they need someone to direct everyone - on time and in budget. PM sometimes can have a negative connotation, but I embrace it and have evolved my PM skills into my life as well with the help of adopting different technologies. As a PM of over a decade for 9 clients - I've developed an allergy to inefficiency and that underlying mental shift has helped me work smarter not harder but more importantly delivered better results and improved my reputation and helped me get promoted. If you're sick of having to redo work multiple times, getting stuck behind hierarchical politics, being on calls that don't offer ANY new information, and want to improve the system but don't know how - let's chat!
