An ode to project managers all over the globe.
One morning, I woke up and asked myself “What do I want to be when my time comes?”
The day before, I was laid off as operations manager.
Instead of dwelling in self-pity, this was a great opportunity.
I asked myself a question.
A very important question.
“What am I most passionate about?” What are my passions?
It hit me then.
I love leading teams but more than that, I love leading them towards a common goal. It is an achievement we can all be proud to make the world a better place.
So I decided to concentrate on that aspect of my work.
Project Management
