Dinah, change it to Wonder Woman. Just in case you like Super more then Super Girl (hehehehehe)
Wonder Woman needed an invisible jet to fly. Super Girl was just a side character that did not do much. Super Woman is someone new and powerful. :)

I am not really sure how this works or would work ... It is really very difficult to answer. Have you seen a program or anything similar qualifying for this title ? I never heard of it.

I only heard of this:

I am not sure I would personally want to work with someone who are *self-proclaimed* champions.

It's not so much the ego directly, but more about how that ego fuels their way of working indirectly.

These are people who have a set idea on what methods work and are unwilling to consider any activity from a new angle. They would not respond well to suggestions, recommendations, or feedback from analysis.

A true world champion PM would not need a title. S/He would have a string of successful deliveries to back up their credentials.

I saw some people (like Nieto Rodriguez) that put that title after their name. It makes my laugh. But if you know where I can participate into that competence (where you can get the World Champion title) please let me know.
I love how LinkedIn allow us to feed egos...

I had to laugh!

I posted this precisely because of the person you mentioned. OK, so it is a self-given award then. Next upgrade: Milky-Way Champion :-)
I'm in, I would like to be the next SuperMega Milky Way champion!
