You. Hit. The. Nail. On. The. Head. Perfect video for anyone to watch considering PM, newly joining the field or just needing to decide if it's still good for you. Love the last bit of enjoining the "game" and "molding" the project. Thanks again!

Although I'm not officially a project manager but I lead small and medium level projects. So far all has went well. I'm really getting better at planning and that helps at later stages. Thank you Adriana, I just follow you because you're the best mentor/teacher.

Excellent tips on project management as a career! I found you on Twitter as I just came across your profile and found that we have common interests, so now I’m following you on Twitter and you have a new subscriber here! I’m a freelance social media manager and copywriter, and I know it’s not close to the same when you’re dealing with clients on a global scale, but I do have all these skills. It can be difficult at times to get everyone on the same page when others on your team disagree, but as long as your own communication skills are up to par and you continue to keep developing these and all your other skills and talents, you can and will achieve anything you want. I enjoy what I do, but I have thought many times about a career transition, and project management has been at the top of my list. Excited for more of your awesome content! 😊

Dealing with disagreements can be challenging for me. I tend to try and find a middle ground, but sometimes that is not the option and I end up not knowing what to do. I think it's time to explore and develop this ability further!

Good day and thank you for your advice. I had sat the exam for Project Mangement. I may not have the experience to become a Manager, generally speaking. This field of work I has interest, because without technology, one individual will not be able to inhance a project.

I very much want to move into PM. Unfortunately my career has been a series of small companies or heavily siloed positions, so I only had the chance one time to work with a PM. I have taken some online courses and my BS in Organizational Leadership had a semester on PM (which really got me interested). I’m just worried about getting my foot in the door because it’s a career change.

Hi @HeavyBiskitz Making a career change can be exciting but a little daunting all at the same time. There are many ways to get your foot in the door with no or little PM experience. Check out these 2 videos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7llaLCex7SzcWg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9OolJiL2NrHp6M.html I also have a course that I think would be of benefit to you. It's called SLAY Project Management. In this course I walk you through the entire project process from start to finish to make sure you know exactly how to manage your project. It also includes all the templates you will need to keep you on track with your projects! You will also have access to the SLAY Project Management Facebook group where you can ask questions and share your wins with other Slayers!

I believe I could be a great project manager because I think I have a very high EQ , compassion for others , excellent communication skills , knack to get along with just about anybody , exposure to many domains , educational qualifications, excellent negotiating skills and a excellent eye for attention to detail because of me 15 years of experience working as a QA engineer . However, why I may be a terrible project manager because my presentation skills are dismal , I get nervous while addressing or presenting to a large audience and am a pretty unorganised person overall , even in my personal life . I also suck at meeting deadlines sometimes and am not a very hard worker and may set a bad example for the team . Also , beyond a certain point , I find it hard to manage people and their temperament or resolve inter personal conflicts etc . Also , because of my friendly nature , people may not see me as a “leader” . Keeping all the above in mind , I’m still contemplating whether I should take the plunge into project management or stay happy with my current role !

PM = responsibility without authority
@natk8805 7 ай бұрын
Based on my personal experience, this is the worst job ever for agreeable and introverted people (unless you are working on smaller projects/teams). You don’t have much of the control, but are responsible for everything. If you are more logical, extroverted, not very emotional/sensitive, and enjoy being a jack of all trades, this might be good for you

Can I learn skills to become a project manager? I am a people person, love interacting with people, but i tend to not be the most organized. Is this something I can work on to become a PM? I am currently taking a mini intro to project management online course. I was looking to maybe get into the courses offered by Googl about project management. So far I like what Im learning. In a way I like taking risk and thats one of the cons you mentioned was uncertainty. My goal is to be a consultant some day after I get the right experience in this field. Would love if I can get your feedback. Thank you!
