This course is the “missing toolkit” for truly effective, everyday project management!
Unfortunately, too few professionals have been given the essential skills needed to execute business projects successfully. Without this powerful set of skills, many otherwise talented people are left wondering:
- Why does working on this project feel painful and chaotic?
- How am I going to tell my boss that we’re going to blow the deadline?

Warm and Inclusive.
"The class atmosphere was so inclusive! I often attend classes and don't have a sense of belonging, but did not experience that with this class. It was interactive rather than a lecture. Our instructor knew when to let us discuss ideas vs. 'instructing' us. Persimmon knocked it out of the park!"
