The Power of Finding Your PeopleFinding your people can be challenging and some people may not even experience it, but project managers have a built-in network thanks to Project Management Institute. During this session, Karla will share her own project management career journey which led her to different continents and industries, as well as how she curated a network of like-minded professionals from diverse backgrounds. Karla found her people and her professional home in PMI, and you can, too. |
