In November 2011, the very first PMI UK Synergy conference packed 1,000 project professionals into the O2 arena. It was a monumental achievement for the Chapter, but letโ€™s be brutally honest: the project management world of 2011 no longer exists. Back then, the plan was king. If you built a robust enough Gantt chart, execution... Continue Reading →

The future of project management depends on our ability to attract, engage, and elevate the next generation of leaders. As the professional landscape evolves, organizations have a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Whether your professional goals are focused on agile methodologies, traditional frameworks, or creative leadership, connecting with the right... Continue Reading →

Ever feel like if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself? As leaders and innovators, especially in a fast-paced environment like Chadderton, the temptation to micromanage can be overwhelming. Weโ€™ve all been there โ€“ drowning in tasks, convinced weโ€™re the only ones who can truly deliver. But what if that instinct... Continue Reading →

Hi there everyone, I've had a tough couple of weeks, preparing for a couple of training sessions and a technical demonstration, trying to think of ways to ย increase customer engagement and having severe impostor syndrome.

Hi everyone.  I've just seen a video on Facebook that made me smile, then almost cry. Mainly because it made me realise how bad I am at keeping in touch with people.  It was posted by one of my friends from another country, Remon V Rossum or as I knew him for many years Herbie205....

J.F.D.I. Or Just F*cking Do It.

Boxing Weekly Update – The Struggles

There are only five weeks left until fight night, thats just 35 days before I'm in a ring with someone trying to punch me in the face and me trying to do the same to them. This realisation was a bit of a shock to me, even though I have a count down on my... Continue Reading →

Smashing it. My face that is. Lol

OK, so real sparring started on Saturday, I'm feeling it today.  It consisted of what seems like an hour of me getting punched in the face.  Want to know a secret, I kind of liked it, not enough that I want it to happen often, but enough that I'm not too scared of it anymore. ...
