Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
From a "bad experience", I wrote an article on LinkedIn and here
https://www.projectmanagement.com/blog-post/29669/Attitudes-Toward-Accents
It's curious because I saw my experience as a learning opportunity:
How is it works in the states? I won't work in this company and I won't apply again, and after few hours of research and interesting English reading that improved my vocabulary skills, I wrote about thousand words in English in less than two hours.
On the other hand, my network basically said, "so sorry", "this guy was a jerk", "welcome to Utah", comments face to face and in my Social Media that I didn't expect. Wasn't easy to explain to them that the important point wasn't the guy, or their attitude, the key point was the opportunity to learn!
Now, the article will become a presentation in one big local organization, about 100 project managers, will learn how to overcome accents when working on international projects.
Lessons Learnt: There are no bad experiences, there are opportunities to grow.
