The Encourage Project podcast shares the work of Amy A. Fairchild, PMP and her guests and discusses the “how to”s of applying world-class project management practices to what she refers to as “human projects” (for example, weight loss, changing jobs, or buying a home). Organizations have known for years the value project manage provides – efficiency, focus, excellence in execution. Amy takes more than 25 years of project leadership experience, combines it with her leadership development and performance background (music and comedy), and connects people with their visions and the exciting, beautiful and sometimes messy process of how to achieve them.
