PMs Who've Been Where You Are
If I did not have PM Happy Hour as a resource, I would be a lot more stressed. You're fun and engaging. I really need your expertise.
Just a great space where you are getting expert advice in a way that's approachable and fun, practical, genuine, authentic. You're not afraid to talk about the real things.
They gently teach the language of corporate and project management without making me feel dumb, and they make me laugh along the way!
