Ep 28 - Leading Successful Projects - Andy Kaufman PMP
Episode description
Several years ago, while I was presenting for a very challenging client in Chicago, IL, a man with a tremendously addictive smile sat in the back of the room. At the end of the day, he approached me with great enthusiasm for a successfully facilitated day I had just delivered. A connection was made...and in this episode, I reconnect with Andy Kaufman, PMP to discuss the art and opportunity of successfully managing projects.
If you think project management is boring...This episode is going to change your mind about projects and project managers. It is JAM PACKED with solid ideas anyone can use to become more effective at almost anything you do!
