It’s been a year that I have been a project lead and I wished I had learned about this early on. I realize I have so much to learn. I didn’t know that project management was even a profession, I just thought it was a natural progression in the career to become a manager. Turns out it’s more than just experience in your chosen field, but management is really a different skill to master.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Management really is a skill that needs to be built upon by experience and lessons learned along the way. I do have a 45 min webinar that I think will benefit you. In this free training I walk you through the five key items needed on all projects, it's what I call the FAB FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT. The FAB FIVE are the 5 key items that you must do on every project - if you only do 5 things, these are them! It’s a great way to simplify projects, while still doing the essentials needed to ensure project success.

It's never too late to discover new career paths and skills. Embracing project management as a profession opens doors to effective leadership and organizational success. Utilize resources and training opportunities to enhance your capabilities and excel in your role as a project lead.

There's a new position on my team for a PM, so thank you for posting these videos. I've been doing PM work my entire career, but my title has never been PM. I'm going to watch all of your videos to make sure I have a standing chance to interview against current PMs, people with PM certifications, etc.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi Felicia! First I would like to thank you for watching. I hope that my content will be helpful to you as you continue to grow in your career. I have a video on Project Manager Interview questions and answers. I will leave the link below. I also have a free webinar (I will put that link below) that I think will really help you prepare as well. Just because you don't have the title of PM doesn't mean that you don't have the experience or capabilities, have confidence in yourself and the experience you have already gained to date. I wish you the best of luck! Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWesmmmvr6dkjrc www.slayprojectmanagement.com/webinar

[@jorgerivera8933]

I still don’t understand. A project manager for what type of job? I kind of understand the material covered from a military leadership perspective. But how do you fit my set of skill sets (included everything that you covered) into the actual type of project in the civilian world. Can you provide a video breaking it “Barney style”. For example, “Joe is a going to build his resume, interview and accept a job as a project manager dealing with landscaping (this area can be changed), but he provided his 5 year experience as a landscaper to now accept the task of recruiting landscapers, assigning their tasks, assessing their performance as well as understanding the future landscaping projects, getting his higher ups at ease by letting them know that you know what you are doing. Then providing them with updates on the progress of the projects, etc…” this could be applied into any other type of areas as a project to manage, right?

[@timsimon1624]

I am currently attending a university and going for my bachelors in PM. I have enjoyed your insight and the positivity you show.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

[@mattwood11]

This video was helpful to me. I really like the idea of getting updates from your team and using those to provide an update to the client. I was a "Company Computer Guy" for 20 years but started working as a Project Manager 6 months ago. Sometimes I still feel like I don't exactly know what I should be doing with my time but these were some great pointers. Thanks!

Transitioning from a technical role to project management can be challenging, but leveraging team updates for client communication is a proactive strategy

[@twinomujunisavias7322]

fantastic, I have gained the question of the interest and these are why some project fail, others succeed, what manager do, how they do it, when they do it, why they do it, what they do, and what special qualities and special skills they need to have and how such vital for the project manager's duties and responsibilities

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I am thrilled to hear all the questions have been answered for you! Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@Regalia31]

I am a month into a new project manager roll and even though my past jobs contained elements of project management, this is my first solely manager position. This week I am learning fairly quickly that I need to alter my communication structure with managers and sometimes it is like drawing blood from a stone in terms of replies to my questions.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Congratulations on your new role! Seeing that you need to make some changes is your first step toward the win! Wishing you all the best and great success with your current project. Cheers!

[@marrrweee]

😂😂😂 so relatable! How is it now? Any different?

[@AkshayKumar10xTech]

Transitioning to a dedicated project manager role comes with its unique challenges, especially in communication. Persistence and adaptability are key-consider adjusting your approach to suit different managerial styles, and don't hesitate to follow up strategically to ensure responses. Building strong rapport and clarity in communication will enhance project efficiency over time. Keep up the proactive effort!

[@heathercunningham7629]

Great video explaining what a project manager does. Very smart tip about setting out strict rules for project updates with the team right at the start of the project...get everyone on board and going in the right direction from the start.

Thanks so much for sharing! Organization is key. I worked with project managers who we so unorganized they had no idea who was doing what and what needed to be done. It's extremely stressful for the whole team.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I agree, a stressful team will never be able to be a productive team and can make the entire project difficult to complete. It's essential to any project that the project manager is organized from the get go. Thanks for tuning in, Cheers!

[@davidc2758]

Guess it depends on the department u work what’s their expectation of a PM. Sometime they give a PM title but want more than a pure PM. I myself r PM title but also does BA/Product. Although u r not expected to be a SME on it but with those skills set, definitely helps with understanding and managing the project timeline and result better. Sometime if is just PM role, the expectation of deliverables and schedule doesn’t make sense to business and tech team. Especially if the department is a small one and resource is limited, then a PM role will likely be doing more job title.

It’s a great way to simplify projects, while still doing the essentials needed to ensure project success.

I'm here because I got extended an opportunity for a project manager for a pretty elite company. The salary seems amazing and the location isn't terrible. I'm just wondering if I can handle such a career. (I studied archaeology in college.)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Congratulations! I am sure you can handle it. Feel free to check out my free webinar. I also have a project management course that will teach you practical side of project management. See the links below. Wishing you all the best! Cheers! www.slayprojectmanagement.com/webinar adrianagirdler.thinkific.com/courses/slaypm

Hi Adriana, what do you do when you set guidelines up front, but people continue to not meet your guidelines?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching! Simple…you call them out on it. You can do this respectfully. It is especially easy if you got them to sign the charter and you put expectations in the document. Just don’t ignore it. Cheers.

What a great explanation of what does a project manager do.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

So many people wonder exactly what project manager do. Thanks for tuning in, Cheers!

Hi there, I think an awesome video for a new young PM is how to become an effective communicator. I talk to my buddies still in school about being an assistant PM and a big thing that comes up is the amount of communication that I do. I am fine with it but I know a lot of people especially in engineering school are standoffish towards idea of communicating a lot with random people and don't know where to start. Thanks for your time and great video!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks so much, Dan. Communication is so very important not just as a PM but in business as a whole. Happy to hear you are guiding your friends on the importance of effective communication:) Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@respectseasoning944]

We get the responsibilities of a PM but what site are they actually on warehouse, restaurant construction,.... Or is a project manager just a project manager and then they manages the project?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

A project manager is a specific role....like a teacher, doctor, etc. Depending on the organization, they may have a dedicated role for a project manager...others may combine it with other activities. When I was doing engineering work, everything I did was a project but I was called an engineer. I hope this helps.

Go team! In my project the client is constantly trying to hurt himself (metaphorically) we ready know best practices but they have this illusion speeding things up by jumping hoops that we know is going to bite them later on. It has been a bit frustrating.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

That’s definitely sounds frustrating. I wish you great success for this project even though it sounds like you have some hurdles to overcome. Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@V1N_574]

@@AdrianaGirdler Thanks!!! I guess I need to work on my communication skill to make them understand why is wrong and why is better for them on the long run to do it right. Although it feels like I shouldn't have to explain why doing things right is the right way hahaha. we have a procedure already in place just follow it haha. but that's what you get when you work with humans, especially the ones that feel have power.

[@leonardobuesst4247]

So does one need to study something at university to become a project manager? I have worked 4 years in retail, and this sounds like a good career, but I haven't been able to get into university.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi, Leonardo. There aren’t specific degrees for project management but most employers require a degree of some sort. I have and engineering degree and go into project management by asking to be part of them then one I had experience asking to lead one. It’s also important to learn the practical side of project management. I have a course, Slay Project Management that would teach you that. Here is the link if you want to check it out.

Your video was amazing I feel 10 times smarter! also, I have an easy question to ask u what did u mean when you said "Being a paper pusher" does that mean a Project Manager only makes reports for a company how much work is there?

[@syzygy4365]

​@@God-T I'm assuming they take in all the paperwork from all the different work groups and making sure production aligns with other projects going on. Think of her as a conductor of an orchestra or a film director. Am I right?

Would these traits be similar to a construction manager? I'm considering getting certifications as a construction manager, with no experience.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Absolutely. Construction is a project, there is a beginning and an end. Having knowledge of project management is really important for a role like this. Thanks for watching, cheers!

Hi am thinking of doing a apprenticeship in project management. One Question does project management an office job or do you go on site to?thanks

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Great question, Tom! It depends on what industry you are in. For most of the projects I manage, a majority of the work is in the office with site visits in some cases. If you are looking for an intro to project management, I do have a short webinar on the basic five things that all project managers MUST do on every project - this will give you an idea of the office work that is required.

Thank you for this! I'm currently majoring in Construction Management, which I love, but I'd like a life outside of work. How many hours do project mangers work? How often are you one site? Thank you for this wonderful presentation!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I am happy to hear you are enjoying your program. The time spent onsite will vary depending on the project and any hiccups that may happen along the way. As far as how many hours worked in a week, it’s like any other job. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, cheers!
