“Life is one big project. The trick is managing it.” As practitioners in the art and science of Project Management, Project Managers leverage their skills and tools to achieve success in delivering a product or service to their stakeholders. In life, we are faced with risk and adversity that challenge us each and every day. Hence, as a service to ourselves, the use of Project Management as a life skill can help us overcome these challenges in much the same as delivering to the stakeholders of an organization.
The topic for this talk will be to present a non-traditional application of Project Management as a life skill. This personal journey, reflecting on the art and science of project management, discusses how the basic tools of Project Management were an effective life skill in overcoming challenges associated with mental illness.
