Hello Everyone In this week's podcast, I share a personal experience where I could see project management happening naturally as part of life. I decided to prepare a celebration lunch for a friend's birthday this weekend. Without even realizing it, I prepared the list of ingredients and made a mental plan of what resources I would need, how long each item would last in the oven, etc. It is important to note that the lunch was not for two or four people. It was for more than 20 people. And I did it all himself (alone) 😊 Without meaning to or realizing it, I was practicing the project management skills we always look forward to practicing. And I did it naturally as part of structured thinking. And that's what this episode wants to talk about. You don't need to deploy a nuclear power plant, a gigantic airport, or a digital transformation in the world's most relevant companies to practice and learn how to manage projects. You can do this the next time you think about tidying up your closet, at your next barbecue, on your next visit to the countryside, or on your vacation. Projects (or whatever name you want to give them) are nothing more than logic and common sense used to connect ideas with results. It is that simple! Listen to the podcast to learn more. PS: I am on my way to Las Vegas for the PMI Summit! I am looking forward to seeing you there! Have a great week!
