My Core Belief: Everyone needs a productive Project Management Mindset.

A productive Project Management Mindset is how you approach and lead projects in a way that makes the best use of your resources – people, time, funding. With a productive Project Management Mindset, you will achieve your goals, work more effectively, make smarter decisions, and have better work-life balance. You will be able to focus on the work you love to do.

I also believe:

Project management is about people, not documents.

Learning resources should be informed by a blend of theory, best practices, pragmatic application, and current needs. They should have a point of view based on experience and reflect a passion for the subject-matter.

High-quality content can help organizations and individuals do excellent work that moves others forward. This is worth money.

Always be respectful and appreciate the energy, time, and creativity of one another. Be kind and considerate.
