PMI Affiliate Program
|
Glad to announce joining the Project Management Institute (PMI) as an “Official Affiliate” for their recently launched PMI Affiliate Program. |
In Memory of the Influence Score
|
Given PMI's decision to retire the subject, I thought of posting this in memory of the famous Influence Score. Below is the last screen shot I took:
There is no doubt that we are sad it is being retired as it was a source of motivation and pride for many of us but at the end of the day, it's just a number and what matters is the real genuine engagement and added value we bring to the table.
Looking forward to what's coming next and to the new platform.

Joy and happiness filled my heart upon receiving a paperback copy of PMI 50th Anniversary Commemorative Book as a Thank You Gift from PMI. What an amazing gift to kick-off the year. It means a lot to me because I was part of those first 50 years of growth.
From cover to cover, the book looks amazing and is very obvious that there was lots of thought put into it. It includes all the story from the day PMI started and with the limited no. of princted copies, this will be a great souvenir to keep forever.
Being part of PMI and this great community for many years, I estabished a strong sense of ownership and commitment towards the profession, PMI, the Community and it's members. I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the profession and as the famous Elizabeth Andrew say: "Volunteers don't necessarily habe the time, they just have the heart." Giving back to the Profession and Comunity is a noble thing to do and what motivates me most is seeing the people around me succeed. Looking forward to be part of PMI during the next 50 years and contribute to their growth and success. I wish you all a fantastic 2020 full of happiness, health, wealth and success !

During a conversation with a friend last week as we were working on a private project, he threw a joke that I should create a Certifcations Wall of Fame given that I earned lots of valuable certifications over the years. The joke turned into a serious conversation and thinking about it later, I concluded it would actually be a good idea so I decided to turn the joke into reality. As I look at all those badges all consolidated in one view, I feel so proud of those accomplishments. I can’t even express how much each and every one of those journeys added value and helped me grow both personally and professionally. It took lots of dedication, commitment and hard work to build this concrete wall and guess what, I am ready for the next one. When there is a Will, there is a Way !
