My clients and students have told me that my passion for aligning strategy and project management has provided the link between what they do and the mission of their organization. Establishing the link between the executive level and the PM practitioners is a key to more effective decision making regarding resources, funding, and delivery.As a coach and change agent, I\'ve been able to support change initiatives use a consistent and valuable philosophy of \"yes, and.\". Using PM to provide rational alternatives leads to higher quality decisions and unprecedented results.For the past 30 years, I have had the pleasure of marrying my passion and purpose. My passion has been to work with practitioners and support their professional development in skills, leadership, and strategic thinking. My purpose is to advocate for the use of project management as more than a technique. I have been a practitioner applying project management to large technology projects, and academic creating and teaching project management, and a business executive responsible for generating revenue and profits.
