Course Description

The Lifelong Project; Activity ID 930157318 PDU hours for leadershipWhat would you do if you had one year to complete the largest project of your life? Where would you begin? What questions would you ask? What resources would you rely on? What processes and procedures would you want to use to ensure that your project was successful?
Now ask: What if you treated the next year of your life as a project?
A few years ago I was at the lowest point in my life: deep in debt, just out of a divorce, and a single dad. My business was failing along with the economy and I didnt know how Id ever recover from my self-created mess.
I needed something, anything, to back away from the edge and get my life moving in a new direction. I believed that all I had was project management. I held that assumption because Id written five books on project management, delivered project management seminars for over a decade, and consulted for organizations across the globe.
So I asked: What if you treat the next year of your life as a project? It was a challenge to press on, an opportunity to learn and to grow, and a commitment to try just one more time.
Im not a psychologist, a Zen guru, or some New Age zealot. Im a man thats learned and applied some universal truths to get what I want into and out of my life. If I can do it, you can too. Let me show you how.
In this hands-on course you will learn how you can treat your life as a project. Youll create requirements, project plans, discover immediate actions to execute, identify the constraints that are anchoring your ambitions, and much, much more.
Who this course is for:
This is a course for people who are serious about reaching their goals.
This course requires you to work on building a project plan.
This is a course for people who want to take charge of their lives.
This isnt a course for people who like to dream and do nothing.
This isnt a course for people looking for magic answers.

It gives a perspective to understand better about life long project by explaining the similarity between life and project goals. Yes it was a good match for me.

I am enjoying the flow of this course thus far. Very interesting subject matter. The information being shared/taught is making me think differently about how I think of projects long term.

Very well explained and fully applicable on real life. Thank you!

De momento se ajusta a lo esperado. Proyectos, palabra puesta de moda, generalmente sin restriccin sin un verdadero plan de accin, se trabajan de manera reactiva y el resultado es el que es. EL inicio -planificacin - ejecucin - control - fin del proyecto tiene que seguir unas pautas y este curso parece que trabaja estas pautas siguiendo unos estndares apropiados.
