Instructor Details

Georgi Smarts

Hello!

I’m Georgi, though most know me as George Smarts.

I’ve spent 12 years helping Fortune 500 companies improve the way they deliver projects, solve data challenges, and work as teams. I love what I do and I enjoy teaching others how to get real results using the same skills and tools I’ve mastered over the years.

I’ve had the chance to work on large-scale international IT and data initiatives, and along the way I’ve used just about every major project management platform, productivity tool, and a growing range of AI solutions. My approach is practical and hands on. Everything I teach comes from real experience, not theory.

Here are the areas I focus on and why they matter to me:

• Project Management software tools. I enjoy discovering features that help people work together more efficiently and deliver better outcomes. I have experience with all the big players in this space.


• Data and analytics. I’ve led many data initiatives. I enjoy making complex concepts simple and helping others build confidence using data to make decisions.


• AI tools for everyday work. I help professionals understand how to use AI to reduce repetitive tasks, improve communication, strengthen planning, and make better decisions.

My courses are designed to help you:

Very practical course and the concepts were easy to follow with definitions and working through an excel file certainly helped

I’m always on the go, being tethered to a my laptop makes it hard to get lesson completed. With the mobile app I can pick up when ever I have time; Airports etc.

The videos could easily be edited and combined to lessen the number of items in each set, and I think I have, "Hey, welcome back" drilled into my skull at this point after hearing it every 3-5 minutes!

Practical information. Sometimes overlapping with other courses / already known concepts, but that is a fact of life. Good learning.
