Becoming a Project Management Mentor

I’ve decided to focus on project management as a mentor and coach. I’m grateful to be recognized at work as one of the best project managers and to have been asked to mentor some of my colleagues. While this recognition is rewarding, it also adds pressure because I want to ensure that what I share is valuable and helps them grow and overcome their challenges. I’ve found that I genuinely enjoy these conversations. I often see patterns from my own experiences, and it’s rewarding to hear comments like, “Now I know what to do,” or when my mentees present an action plan during our sessions. With that in mind, I’m excited to share my experiences with a broader audience, especially those who feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, as it’s often difficult to find real-life examples. As a first step, let’s explore what’s available from the Project Management Institute and build on that. Here’s a great start—check out these free PMI courses to deepen your understanding of AI, Agile, and PMP in project management: PMI Free Online Courses. In the meantime, I’ll be preparing all the valuable insights that helped me become a better project manager, in hopes that they will help you too.
