I’m a PMP®, PMI-ACP®, Agile Certified retired US Army Captain. I want to help you create a better future by focusing on the skills and tools you need to thrive in the professional world.
I know first hand that going back to school and getting a degree can be expensive and very time consuming. Plus, once you’ve factor in employment rates and decreasing salaries it can feel hardly worth it.
In a world where our livelihoods depend on the degree’s and the accreditation we achieve, how can you continue to move up the ladder without going into deep financial (and mental) debt? The answer: Certifications. In particular the project management and agile certification. Both of these paths are well respected and sought after across all industries. As technology, modern real estate and other progressive sectors boom so do the careers of the people managing there projects.
Becoming a project manager emphasizes an importance for maintaining processes, delegation of resources and taps into skills and character traits that many of us use everyday.
