I was in marketing for close to a decade and was usually the only black woman in the meeting. Now that I have pivoted to project management I love how we are respected, valued, and thriving.

[kendraware]

I just passed the PMI CAPM exam today!🎉 This was right on time. THANK YOU!!!❤❤❤❤

[tkane]

I love this. I’m a Project Coordinator and Veronica is 100% correct. The PMP is a game changer. I’m pivoting into the Tech Sales space just signed up for Course Careers I’m so excited to push forward and better my life!

[msariel]

I really needed this. It made me realize that I have imposter syndrome and I am in my own way. Thank you!

[Coemuze]

Your guest's story is a testament to the help of God. She put in the work and took a leap of faith and God cleared the path. I am pumped by her testimony. Ama go get it. 💯💪💪💪

[church_on_chrome]

I'm studying for my MBA in project management and I knew about the lucrative nature of the industry but to this level is nothing but AMAZING.

[newtonmaganga]

Just passed my PMP exams recently. Very excited and hope for doors to open for me in Healthcare Management sector.

[jarrettem]

What she said about not hearing back from any jobs for a few months and your energy goin down?? Man that’s real! The discouragement and self doubt that just creeps into your mind can straight up destroy your drive

[oliviarbanks]

I don't recurrently watch these podcasts but seeing that I am on my PM journey I decided to give this one a go. What an AMAZING episode! Not only with Veronica simplify, in plain english, what a PM role entails, but the personal stories, perseverance and service to the world is what spoke loudest to me. Thank you both for sharing your time and insights! This truly motivated and inspired me to keep going. I greatly appreciate this!

[jelksmba]

Great episode. I’m a PMP too, shoutout to the project managers. I believe every PRODUCT Manger needs PROJECT management skills. Not every project manager needs product skills tho.

[knowledgegirl]

Just seeing this title was enough confirmation for me. I'm pretty much finished with course careers tech sales and 5 classes away from finishing MBA concentrated in Project Mgt, and will soon go for PMP cert, I'm 34 btw, this touched me in such a way it hit home!

[Shaynamaude]

Love this conversation. I’ve been in project management for years and I agree if you are organized, can learn some tools and be able to communicate with the project team and the executives, you are already steps ahead! Wonderful conversation!

[goodlyheritage]

I am watching this from the UK. Veronica is truly a project manager. I loved the way she said getting people into the roles and being successful is what determines her success. That alone defines her project's success criteria.

[Anastasiababy]

Got approve and I'm studying for my PMP now !! Immersing myself in these motivating stories to keep me focused.

[goodazabbie]

I love this episode, I’ve been waiting for a PM to come on. She dropped so many gems, thank you so much!!

[alexanderthompson]

Yoooo as the person she’s speaking about at the end of the video, I can attest that Veronica and her courses are the truth. I am forever grateful and my life has changed dramatically since taking the class and accelerating my career and I am living proof that your lace can change overnight. Thank you again V!! Keep grinding ❤️

[naturallybeautiful]

I signed up for a bootcamp and I start classes this Saturday. Thank you for the video

[rinimathew]

Amazing video to watch when I am trying to pivot my career to PM after 13 yrs as HR and getting PMP certification.

[Socilbutterfly]

⁠​⁠​⁠Wow, I'm sitting here in a funk with tears in my eyes. I came across Cyrus video and I know it was meant to be. We have so much in common especially being teen mommas at the same age. I've placed myself on hold for years. My babies are all grown up. It is NOW TIME FOR ME!!! Your testimony is also my testimony and song. I am ready to do whatever is needed to get more. I'm looking forward to my call with you tomorrow (I pray it's you Ms. Veronica 🙏🏽).. Cyrus you are an amazing person. Thank you for helping me and everyone else. I'm getting ready to start a boot camp you've mentioned in one of your videos.. GOD IS GOOD. Have a blessed night y'all 🙏🏽

Thank you my brother. I was approached by a project manager professional within my company. I’m considering making the switch.
