As a construction project manager I describe my job as juggling chain saws while riding a bike on a tight rope

I randomly got advertisement about project manager training, and now im heading down the rabbit hole and considering this as a next step. Your video was super helpful! Other videos i watched left me confused. Yours really explains why the companies would wanna hire you. I didnt realize its a job to job thing with different organizations until yoir video. Makes it seem more exciting tbh! Thanks for your video! 💫

I am so thankful for this. I work in a small organisation in Indonesia.
Just exactly yesterday, I went to my director's and ask what I should do. I dont feel I accomplish anything being a project manager of almost a year already. I dont know what to do and caught up in doing small things that I dont need to focus on. Public speaking and leading meeting are some of my challenges. I am thinking about resigning cause I dont give my best here. I am giving myself a month to change bit by bit. I watch your videos religiously and hope I can do this job properly.

I like this. My view is we should never let anyone put any limits on our role. Because, sooner or later, we'll find ourselves at that boundary, needing to take one more step to get the job done.

Your video is a gem, the role is very well explained and you encompass trough your explanation different aspects which are crucial to really understand what a project manager is. So thank you 😊

Some organisation requires a PM role to consist more scope like as BA and Product. Given that constant change in working environment, would say now PM role is not like it used to be with pure managing a project without going technical and understanding of it both front end, middle office and backend. Met countless of business PM or ITPM that is not technical but just purely managing a project by doing budgeting, managing timeline and progress analysis. lastly most of them don’t get selected for the next project. A lot of company nowadays prefer to have sort of like a hybrid project manager role.

Very nice as PMO Director your content are spot on! Best wishes

00:05:10 I found this part really interesting - I'm quite quiet and analytical, but I always assumed more extroverted characters would succeed as a pm. Can an introvert succeed in this field too? Great vid!

Really love your videos and also help me a lot in my day-to-day work !!

Project Manager is Challenge and Change Manager? Might be?

[GlobalMechanix]

Just noting this is a typical IT PMO POV. Bringing about socio-environmental change involves going way beyond your own organisation and shows how other organisations work together to create something they where not able to do before.

Hello! I am currently a junior majoring in Literary Journalism. Recently, I found an interest is Project Management but I do not know where to start especially because I am at the end of my undergrad and would soon center "the real world" ha ha. I also, am not sure if this field is right for me. How do you know? And what do you recommend I do to get started? Thank you so much!!

I have a degree in accounting. Been in it for a few years. Wanted to switch to project management. I don't have leadership experience but I know I can do it. What key words in a job search should I look for?
