Good News. Bad News.

As my 6 year old likes to start every conversation these days, “I have some good news, and I have some bad news, which one do you want first?”

Well, the bad news is that 2020 birthed a global pandemic in the midst of you navigating your project management career (not to mention the rest of you life).

But, the good news is that there are practical skills to pivot & still thrive in the midst of it all!

This week, I’m highlighting Katrena Mayes and her on-demand course inside the Women Of Project Management Membership, ‘Life & Career Transitions: Pivoting In A Pandemic’. Katrena is here to teach you how to navigate career transitions and guide those who are faced with voluntary or, involuntary changes in the workforce.
