This.

Nobody questions what a lawyer does. Nobody questions what an accountant does. But everybody has an opinion about what a PM should and shouldn’t be doing.

Love these cute badges Project Management Institute give you. 👏🏼❤️

I completed “Talking to AI: Prompt Engineering for Project Managers from Project Management Institute” this week.

We need to stop asking “What do you know?” And start asking: “How fast can you learn what matters next?” 🧠

's workshop on psychological safety is nothing short of remarkable. Tish Hodge, PHR, MSHRM (formerly McFadden) TRULY DELIVERED!

We spent three high-intensity days discussing, role-playing, presenting, deliberating, laughing, and making new connections. This workshop is an eye-opener, highlighting the importance of safe spaces in building engaged teams. I learned that psychological safety is about trust — creating an environment where team members can speak up and share ideas without fear of judgment.

I've noticed that silence often indicates a lack of psychological safety; when people don't feel safe, they hold back. However, with psychological safety,
collaboration and innovation flourish, and everyone feels valued.

I left the workshop energized with actionable strategies to enhance psychological safety in my workgroup, including fostering open communication, encouraging curiosity, and prioritizing well-being. This training was a powerful reminder that trust arises from creating a safe space for individuals to express themselves, leading teams to not just work... but truly thrive.

Recently completed my Mental Health First Aid certification – and I can’t recommend it enough. 👏🏼

This training gave me practical tools to recognize the signs of mental health challenges, offer initial support, and help connect people to the right resources. It was eye-opening, empowering, and deeply human.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Whether you’re in leadership, community work, education, or simply someone who wants to show up better for others, this kind of training is invaluable.

Grateful for the opportunity to grow in this way – and looking forward to putting these skills into practice. 💙
