Girl I’m so happy to have found a black woman in PM who breaks the field down so lovely! I’m excited to break into the field, I’ve been interviewing for entry level roles, so ready to pivot into this new area ✨

[@pitolinmotion]

Sis! Honestly , this is one of the reasons that I started this channel. I’ve literally never met another black female PM :( but I’m so happy more women are tryna be PMs. you got this girl. 🎉🎉 I’m here to help as much as I can too. So feel free to reach out to me anytime x

[@clarityofthought]

I intend success for your endeavors

[@babylambpro]

Literally, makes my heart warm

[@UltraAar]

why does the skin color matter

[@pitolinmotion]

It matters in terms of representation and belonging. Unfortunately when you don’t see people that look like you in certain areas it makes people feel as though they don’t belong there. It can also be hard and un comfortable to navigate. Also having people from different backgrounds, race religions and genders in the industry generally brings about a better variety of thinking. So it is very important to be diverse.

[@waltersteyger1215]

Tech guys can be difficult but they are almost always really honest which is gold.

[@alexp.6807]

I’m about to start a PM role with full responsibility and no training, so these videos are saving my life! Thank you 🙏

[@pitolinmotion]

Ah I’m super happy to hear this! I wish you all the best in your new role 🎉🎉🎉 and dw you’ll pick things up as you go! This is how I started too, no experience, no training, just vibes and lots of questions. If there is a senior pm that can mentor you, I would defo suggest reaching out to them

[@REPDC4LIFE]

Update please 🙏

[@aspenwil1]

How do you find mentors before applying for PM roles?

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey, you just gotta reach out to ppl that you think would be a good mentor for you, and ask them. Best to be direct and also be clear with what you would like to get out of the experience and how also it can hopefully serve them too. Cos mentoring can take a lot of time, and if there’s no benefit for them, then why would they wonna do it 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@JaMochaGo]

Me too! Congratulations! I'm grateful for these videos.

[@acharya-karthikeya]

I was so delighted to hear the pros. Then suddenly came the reality check. The cons is what most people need to think about.

[@pitolinmotion]

Haha like all things in life there are pros and cons. You’ll find this in any role you consider: question is. Do the pros outweighs the cons?

[@acharya-karthikeya]

@@pitolinmotion Agreed

[@Lucia.Creations]

So glad I came across this video! I just got my Google Project Management certificate and I'm currently apply to junior positions. This video as very helpful, especially seeing another Black woman in the field. Thank you for sharing! I'm excited to break into this field.

[@pitolinmotion]

Love that! They need more beautiful black women in project management

[@NewLife-sn2dx]

Hey Lucia! Were you able to secure a role or any interviews with your Google Project Management certificate? I am thinking of enrolling as well but I am not sure about how effective that program is in securing a PM job after!

[@OhYeahItsJake]

Did u get a job with the certificate

[@Akashony]

Hey Lucia were you able to land a position with googles project management certification?

[@jocelyncastillo3311]

Hi Lucia, any updates on finding a new role with the Google Project Management certificate?

[@EugenedeLange1]

What a breath of fresh air you are! Friendly, sorted, knowledgeable, direct. So nice to listen to you! Thanks for the video.

[@pitolinmotion]

Heyy! So nice of you to say🤗🤗🤗 that’s really lifted my mood today. Thank you very much ! More content like this to come x

[@nicholas3708]

I've been a senior project manager for some years now at a research company and I can say that I fully concur 😂😂 especially the "it's always your fault" and "the deadlines don't make sense" 😧😂 but you make it work regardless.

[@pitolinmotion]

😅😅😅😅 it’s like they should right ‘always your fault’ on the job description too!

[@LoveForTheCurly]

I’m a project coordinator at an IT company and I absolutely love my engineers!! Working my way towards CAPM and then PMP once I get a couple more years on me

[@pitolinmotion]

You go girl ! And yeah engineers are actually fab. Well some of them anyways 😅😅 all the best with your CAPM!

[@Ilangbalilang]

I have been stressing about what my next career move will be, and im seriously considering pm. Watching your videos has made this journey less stressful. Your smile is SO contagious, almost like its telling me “everything will work out.” Im happy to see Black women excel in this field, and I hope to come across more in the future :) keep doing you!

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey Gabriela 🤗 thanks so much for your kind words! Girl! It’s gonna be okayyy! I know changing roles can be stressful, but honestly I love being a project manager, you can really make the role what you want it to be, and at the end of the day, if you try it and it ain’t for you, you can always move on, and you would have picked up some transferable skills along the way. It’s a win win! All the best with your career move . Let me know if I can help. And hope to come across you too :)

[@ashleyglenn1644]

How is things goin with pm I’m thinking about starting

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey Ashley, is that question for me or Gabriela ? - if it’s for me, it’s going well, currently work with a great team, delivering interesting stuff, and I’m progressing in my career. I can’t womplain

[@jvsurtida]

Hi Pitol. I stumbled across your videos about project management today and so far, I've watched about 10 already! This only means what you're sharing here is valuable to make us want more of it. Really appreciate you doing this and I'm glad I stumbled into your pm videos which I say are very informative and helpful! Keep up the good work!

[@pitolinmotion]

Thank you so much . And so glad you found it useful. Much more to come 🎉🎉

[@ese77ajala39]

Love your personality, Love your new background, and the valuable information you freely provide. I definitely subscribed.

[@pitolinmotion]

[@zugobanks5799]

[@pitolinmotion]

[@edwinkingori8644]

You’re so fun in your delivery!! 🤗 I am looking to get into Project Management, and your video just demystified it for me. Thank you!!

[@pitolinmotion]

🤗🤗🤗 great! Glad it helped and thanks for watching :)

[@lmcarter1024]

I’m currently an assistant IT program manager and working with my mentor to move into project management. Sooooooo glad I came across your channel!

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey Lauren! So glad you found the page too! Great that you’re making the move. Another black young female pm 😭👏🏾 I’m so happy. There isn’t enough of us for real. Stay locked to the channel. Got so many videos coming out. And hopefully I’ll be able to increase my posting frequency soon. Any videos idea you think will help? Lemme know and I’ll try to get it out 😊

[@jazzieg9876]

Hi Lauren! What course did you take to get this position? My career field is speech pathology and I'm trying to do a complete 180 career switch lol

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey, I didn’t go any course before I got into this role. I started on a graduate scheme, then I did the Prince 2 about 1 year later. If you’re thinking of doing a course, check out my video on ‘the best project management course for you’ 😊

[@avi.chan23]

OMG! Thank you so much on speaking about the Con's to Project Management. I'm in interview process to start as a PM and thanks to your information, I am now covinced that I am able to be a PM as none of the Contra points are a big issue for me. ❤️ Of course I subscribed to your channel, it's really great 💞

[@pitolinmotion]

Love to hear it ! And thanks for subbing! There’s always pros and cons to every role. But for me, the pros defo out Weigh the cons x

[@jimson86uk]

"Don't like change? This ain't for you, love." My favourite moment. Thanks for the great content - it's massively helpful :)

[@pitolinmotion]

😅😅 you’re welcome and thanks for watching :)

[@starbitz]

tysm for sharing your experience and giving your own personal explanation about project management, i'm still in highschool and this made me want to look deeper into project management because it's sound genuinely interesting and fun! other videos weren't really informative but you were that and more i enjoyed watching this a lot😊

[@pitolinmotion]

Ah what a compliment 🤗 thank you

[@Grace-fz3tx]

Love this video, so clear and really helpful for interview prep that I needed. Thanks girl!! xx

[@pitolinmotion]

Amazing ! All the best with the interviews you have coming up !

[@By_Tasia]

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I am interested in being a PM and after hearing about the cons I still find it intriguing. Though I will need to work on a lot (anxiety over stressful situations being high on the list😅), I have trouble taking space. I’m someone who tries to avoid conflict and confrontations. I end up just going along with everything and I can’t make a decision due to being afraid of angering someone. Which the con about how everything is your fault makes this even more difficult for me. That’s why I’d like to know any advice on this matter in advance so I am prepared on such circumstances. Love your smile and energy! Keep up the good work!!!❤️

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey girly 🤍 thanks so much for the kind words… woo love that you’re still interested in becoming a project manager! I think it is a rewarding career. I would say that there isn’t just one way, or a correct way to lead. You have to do what’s best for you. You can be assertive but also take everyone’s opinions on board. I think it’s a skill to be able to understand the balance. In regards to avoiding conflict and confrontation, I would say it’s unavoidable in this role haha, as everyone has their own objective. But I think the key really is relationship building and being able to come to a decision that will be best for everyone long term. You may make the right choice, you may make the wrong one, such is life, you will live and learn going forward. And you can’t please everyone at the end of the day. Concentrate on building up your confidence and critical thinking skills, that way you will be able to stand clear in your decisions. At the end of the day, we ain’t paid to get it always right. We are paid to get everyone together to come up with the a solution that will benefit the project x hope this helps ✨

[@teoshagreen7414]

Thank you so much love!!! I have been in Property Management for over 5 years and have worked on some projects that I have managed. I have now just begun my degree plan to make it official and I am trying to get started working in PM to show my expertise. Yay!!

[@pitolinmotion]

Wonderful ! Love it, you go this girl

[@ninoskajimenez553]

You're so pleasant to watch and listen to, thank you for all the helpful information!

[@pitolinmotion]

🤗🤗

[@rickchase6990]

🇨🇦 Canadian watching from Thailand 🇹🇭 Everything you are saying is what I am just waking up! I have finally realized that my lazy project management has contributed 90% of the complexity in my work life. I'm more conscientious in my personal life, but not as much as I should be. I definitely need to watch this again.

[@pitolinmotion]

Woo! Hope Thailand is treating you well :) and nice, happy you go something from the video. Thanks for watching ! I think project management is really a life skill and it seeps into most people’s work life, defo work on those skills and things will defo feel more organised in your life

[@kaypetersen81]

Thank you for this, it reallygave me a good insight. I wasn't sure about it until I watched this. I'm waiting for my school results so I can apply to study this. I can't wait.

[@ejbosco219]

[@punishabansal4869]

From my view point "Being a project manager is like being the captain of a ship, guiding a team to reach a destination. It's exciting but also challenging. A usual day involves organizing tasks, leading meetings, and solving problems. It requires being organized, flexible, and good at bringing people together. Even though it can be tough, seeing a project succeed makes it rewarding!"

[@pitolinmotion]

👏🏾🎉

[@LifeWithLocc]

I definitely struggle with the general anxiety that you mentioned. How do you manage it when it comes? Also, when things don’t go well with the project, how do you handle it? I feel like since it’s always considered your fault as PM, that can be stressful!

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey girl. Anxiety! It really sucks, especially cos I struggle with it quite bad, and not just in a working environment. Truth is it’s something I think imma be working on my whole life. I try to manage it by controlling as much as I can (btw I don’t think this is necessarily the best way to deal with it 😅). But when I know stuff, understand what’s going on in detail, even when it doesn’t concern me, it makes me feel at ease, as it allows me to plan for things going wrong before they happen. When things go wrong that are not my fault lol, I’ve learned to understand that, it’s not my fault, it is what it is. Although I control as much as I can, ultimately I can’t control what I can’t. My boss always tells me I’m too scared to give bad news, but I shouldn’t be. I’ve don’t all I can, and this is what it is. Gotta just be used to just saying that, whilst trying to come up with a solution at the same time. I’m just such a fixer and I hate to disappoint, but a big part of project management is also simply reporting. It helps to take the stress off you believe me !

[@janicelee9301]

Came across your video by chance & I concur with what you've mentioned. Looks like you're working as a PM in a Tech Company. Words of advice for those intend to become a PM. Be willing to learn & sacrifice 4 to 5 years (forget about Work Life Balance) to learn & become an independent PM. Thereafter, it's still a on-going learning process as business requirements changes. As a PM, you don't own anything, but you're reponsible for everything. PM literally cleaning up messes caused by someone else so that things can get moving. Be flexible, workaround, & be willing to go beyond your job role (ie roll up your sleeve & work with the ground people to get things done). Learn to priortize your works as everything is urgent. Be able to stay cool & work under pressure. If you think you're going to burst, step back for a while & back again after you've cool down & with a calm mind to resolve the issues/arguments. This is a teamwork & not for Solo Player(online mobile games :p). Just my 2cents worth of advice.

[@pitolinmotion]

Love it! Thanks for this insight. And I totally agree with you . The projects I’ve been most successful in are where I’ve really built my team. Helped out with the nitty gritty. Things that’s technically are not my role. But tbh , my role is to get it done by any means! Thanks for the comment x

[@michelles.7804]

[@pitolinmotion]

Thanks sis 😊

[@rwilli26rw]

Fellow PM here and new to your channel. I agree 100% communication is SOOOOO much of it. I just switched jobs so I will see how this experience lines up with my past experiences. It's really awesome so far thanks for sharing. I was wondering what industry you were in, I am in clinical research. The core is pretty close, but as any job the specifics vary a bit.

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey lovely ! Thanks for coming through ! And congrats on your new role 👏🏾🎉 love to see it. So I’m in tech. Consumer tech more specially

[@beangarden]

Love your energy and good tips

[@pitolinmotion]

Thank you !!!

[@currysoda8137]

"If it breaks its you. Don't know where the team is at!" Yes this sums up PM at my job quite nicely. 😂

[@pitolinmotion]

😅😅 hang in there !

[@frhoodfrhood1429]

actually, I am heading to study project management and was curious what it is exactly thanks for all of your useful information I'm looking forward to more stuff in your blog by the way omg you are so lovely and energetic I am proud of you keep going like this girllllllll it is amazing

[@pitolinmotion]

🥺🤗 thanks so much for your kind words! I will defo keep going and hopefully bringing out useful content 🙌🏾

[@LearningAndGrowingInLife]

Thank you for the insightful video. I am a Project Manager (with PMP & PSM1 certification) and been in project management for around 7 years in Canada. Been thinking about what's next and stumbled upon product management. There seems to be a shift happen from the project mindset (deliverable mindset) to product mindset (outcomes mindset). I have noticed people move from project/program management to product management but not the other way around (especially in tech industry). Would love to get your thoughts on project/program vs product management & maybe potentially pivoting into product.

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey hey thanks for watching 🤗 if I’m honestly I won’t be able to do a video on this because I have no experience in product management or anything along those lines. I’m bit an expert, just making videos based on my experiences haha. That being said interesting you should bring this up, because I’ve actually been looking for my next step and I have said I want to expand into product management instead of programme management. Personally I did a programme management qualification and it was so boring for me, too much governance. I can just imagine it’s going to be too much corporate governance involved

[@pitolinmotion]

I prefer to be right in the action and that’s why I’m opting for product management, it’s more technical and valuable in my opinion, and it will make project delivery more meaningful as you have an in-depth knowledge of both the requirement side and the deliverables side of things

[@ochuwahope1714]

Fellow Project Manager here. 👋🏽 You have such a lovely smile.

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey girly! Love to meet another sister in project management 🎉💖🙌🏾 and thank you 🥺🥺❤️

[@darikanicholas2078]

This is extremely helpful I work in property management and I am looking for a change! I think this sounds fun it’s a bunch of high intensity in property management, a lot of change and being able to pivot in crucial moments is key and I think am able to transfer a lot of skills to this role.

[@pitolinmotion]

Love that! I say go for it :)

[@darikanicholas2078]

Thank you!

[@pitolinmotion]

Whoop whoop ✨ congrats and happy the video was helpful. All the very best !

[@rebecacruz9327]

You are so funny! Thanks for this video. I am new at my job as a PM and the only thing I dont really enjoy is that I have to go to the office, I would like to find a remote job but I will get more experience in my current job so later I can start looking for that. Thanks!

[@pitolinmotion]

Thanks !! Yeah remote work is super good. But honestly if it’s your first PM role. Being onsite is priceless ! So you’re right to gain as much experience as you can now

[@nehmar1]

I’m not even done with the video but I love your vibe and you’re definitely Yoruba💕..just finished my PM course on coursera 2days ago and I came to KZbin to check videos out…Happy I saw your channel…I feel good about what’s to come already 🥰☺️…..Weldone beautiful ♥️

[@pitolinmotion]

🥳🤗🤘🏾

[@abbymckenna2419]

Thank you so much for putting this together. This is the first video I’ve watched on your channel but I will definitely be watching some more. You mentioned about some introverted people being good at PM… are you able to elaborate on why they were still good? What skills did they have that made them stand out? I am still on the fence as to whether this is the right direction for me. I’m from a high tech sales background but identify myself more as an introvert. If you could explain what introverted PM’s have done differently to still be good at their job, that would be super helpful!

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey thanks ! If you can do sales. You can defo go project management, it’s just about leading people and interacting, and relationship building. Introverts can do this. It Jusu depends on your personal style. Nothing they do differently : but I think both introverts and extroverts can be good leaders

[@rhyannonjovan3504]

This is the most helpful PM video I've seen that clearly explains what is required of the role. Thank you so much!

[@pitolinmotion]

You’re welcome !!! 😊

[@gwendolyncarla]

I’m a beginner PM and love this channel so much. I’m heading over to watch your video on the diff certs. I’m currently studying for my PMP but I know have heard it’s not as respected as others 😩

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey lovely, thanks so much 🥺🥰. I think PMP is respected haha, but more in the US than the UK. Where are you based ?

[@davidbeckam493]

Loved everything about the video I hope to be a project manager God willing

I have a huge interview tomorrow and have been watching your videos. Shout out to you as a black woman in the PM space, I am so nervous but these videos are bringing me EASE & JOY. I am such a people person but get nervous when it comes to interviews simply because I NEVER interview or see anyone who looks like ME. Thanks for this, so important.

[@pitolinmotion]

Hiya Pennie! All the best in your interview. I hope it goes / went well! So happy these videos are helping to ease your nerves because you can DEFO do this! It can seem daunting especially when there isn’t much diversity but I’ve learned that none of that matters . People respect you more for your merit and talent than your colour . You’ve got this x

[@peacepennie]

UPDATE: I GOT THE JOB! Now making more than I honestly ever imagined at this point in my career. There is no way I would have gone in with the level of vibe and true authenticity if I hadn't come across your channel. You're doing gods work! Thank you again, queen.

[@pitolinmotion]

This is amazing ! 🎉🥺😭 congratulations hun. You deserve it all for real 🤍 and aww that so lovely for you to say. Thank you 🤗 I wish you the very best in your new role

[@holistichealingbri1605]

OMG thank you so much for coming back and posting this. It means so much for us that are just taking baby steps in this direction. What certs or courses did you do beforehand?

[@pitolinmotion]

@@holistichealingbri1605 hey! No probs. I didn’t do any certs when I first started. I started on a grad trainee scheme

What a great video! This is crazy but although both careers are very different, the pros and cons are pretty much the same when it comes to being a real estate agent, specially the always-your-fault part 😂😂 I love it

[@pitolinmotion]

Thank you 😅😅 I can imagine

[@jessicarevolver]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been considering getting in to PM and this really puts things in to perspective.

Thank you ☺️🤗

[@christianaolawumi]

I can relate to the "everything is your fault", I hate it too. I try my best to get to know what's going on with my team members, so I know where I need to chip in helo and support.

[@pitolinmotion]

That’s the best way to do it!!

Much love

[@ElizabethObuks]

Absolutely love this video! I'm currently watching all your vids lol, have you recorded anything on pay expectations for someone just getting into project management and someone who has been in the industry for a while?xo

[@pitolinmotion]

Hey lovely , thank you 🤗 I actually haven’t youknow. But I’ll defo write it down on the list! Obvs this will vary from country to country. Are you from the UK?

[@ElizabethObuks]

@@pitolinmotion aww that'll be great.. And yes South Londoner here! Was so happy when I first played your video and there was no American accent lol.. You're the only black PM I've seen so far 🙈

[@pitolinmotion]

Loving the black women in tech!! women in general, but yes black women lets get it!!!!!!! i'm 30 years old looking to break into tech. Wish I did this a long time ago because i'm so tech savvy. Project management, or Data analysis are my options but think i'm leaning more towards PM. I just don't want to feel like i'm too old now lol. Having a old soul will do that for you, making you feel 10 times older than what you really are. But I am excited to start this journey. I also just started my online retail business so this field will definitely even help me with my own business. But the tech field is where its at

[@pitolinmotion]

Hello girl! And welcome to the gang! They need more of us in this field so I’m really happy that you are considering it. Only soul?? Nah believe me, there are enough old men in the field that already being that vibe. You’re going to bring vibrancy and elegance to your team. Something a lot of teams are lacking. It’s never to late to get started, especially if you can leverage your previous experience to get into this field . I got a video coming out on New Year’s Day which which help with your decision too. Stay tuned and stay blessed sis x

[@tony7787]

Lmao I'm glad I watched this because I thought this was something I wanted to get into. But I hate too much peopling, I hate rapid change and I dislike constant communication 😅. I guess the search continues.

[@pitolinmotion]

😅😅😅😅 and that’s totally okay, it isn’t for everyone. I’m just happy I’m able to lay out the facts so you can make the best decision for yourself ! Happy searching 😊

did u end up finding anytbing?

[@doseoffashion1748]

I’m happy I found your video! I been looking for someone to break it down to me clearly lol. I’m currently looking to change careers how do I get started? I’m so lost on how to begin

[@pitolinmotion]

Hiya hun! The best way to get started is to literally just apply! Lots of people are scared to apply because they are scared of rejection. But you’ll never get feedback on where you lack unless you apply. Pm is hard to break into if you have no experience ( I won’t lie) but it’s bot impossible. I’ve seen lots of people do it . So redo your cv, I’ve got a video on some cv tips that may help: and take it from there x
