BULLET PROOF YOUR CAREER WITH 5 KEY
STRATEGIES
More than
likely, you'll earn more money between
the ages of 40-52 than any other time in
your life. After the age of 52,
many professionals begin losing time,
potential, and motivation to continue
driving their career.
And while you’re in your
prime earning years, every day that
you’re unemployed, or in a lower level
position, means wasted income. Days can
turn into weeks, weeks can turn into
months, and before you know it – you’ve
just lost $10,000, $20,000, or even more
had you been employed.
So how can
you bullet proof your career so that you
stay in high demand?

10 Success Strategies to Excel as a
Project Manager
My most shocking moment as a project
manager wasn’t related to my project. It
wasn’t anything said by a team member,
customer, or stakeholder. It was a
comment made from someone I didn’t even
know in an advanced education class I
took a few months ago. I didn’t hear the
first part of her comment but I
certainly heard the last: “…I don’t
want to be a project manager. Project
managers are a dime a dozen.”
Her
comment
made me think hard. We’re definitely not
a dime a dozen, but some of us may have
a few more success strategies in the
old’ project management toolbox.
This article features 10 of my personal
project management strategies that I use
to motivate teams, lead stakeholders,
and manage my customer's expectations.

talked to professionals and executives
who are looking for their next career
opportunity and it always surprises me
to hear them say that the reason they
are not getting job interviews is

hired this year alone so why aren’t you
one of them?

MORE work in addition to your current
assignments. I mean juggling your
calendar and learning how to negotiate
your time so that you’re able to work on
meaningful, exciting, and
challenging projects, and taking off
some of those insignificant and “less
filling” projects.
