Speaker in the USA!

Published: Tuesday, 15 December 2020

I received my USA visa to do speeches in the USA several months ago.  I’m very excited about spreading my messages and telling my stories all over the USA. To kick me off in the USA, I spoke at the Project Management Institute Washing DC (PMI WDC) about “Managing Teams Through Your Computer” with a 45-minute presentation and 15-minutes of Q&A earlier this month. It was exciting to share my experiences with project managers all over DC.  Looking forward to many more events!  :)
