From Brenda:
I am proud and happy to have completed my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification (it was worth the study). (Much) before that, I graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) with Bachelors degrees in Commerce and Arts (Economics).
To me, everything can be viewed as a project, thus project management training is worthwhile to any business endeavour.
When I lead a training class, I see my role as a facilitator, because participants have to understand, apply and incorporate information for it to be truly learned.
Some of my favourite work experiences were where I worked with teams to incorporate processes. What I enjoyed there were the feelings of excitement in creating something.
My background is as a technical writer, and from there a process improvement consultant. I lived and worked in Ottawa for fifteen years, then in sunny Phoenix and cosmopolitan Munich. I lived and developed business in Shanghai and am now in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
