Hello everyone and welcome to episode 12 of the PM for the Masses Podcast! I’m Cesar Abeid and this is THE podcast about project management and project managers. So get ready to be entertained, educated, and inspired!
Let’s talk about today’s show! Today I have the delightful Elizabeth Harrin on the show to talk about project communications. As always, when I have such a prominent guest on the show, I try to ask them some questions to see if we can get into their system and understand their success – and perhaps learn something we can apply to our own careers and lives.
