It’s my goal that every person I have a conversation with walks away knowing more than they knew before about all things project management offices (PMOs) and project management.
As LinkedIn Learning’s first instructor on the topic, I’ve had a very rewarding journey helping over 100k+ current and aspiring project management leaders apply my lessons to further their careers.
Where Parwaaz Consulting comes in is outside of the online classroom. We help organizations set up & optimize their PMOs, empower PMO Leaders through our coaching programs designed specifically for them, and provide customized workshops that uplift capabilities and guide teams to conquer the art & science of leading projects.
Most often leaders come to me when they need a step-by step approach for developing their PMOs or taking them to the next level. Other times leadership is looking for an ‘outside’ perspective to act as a sounding board and provide accountability support through their PMO journey.
And in some cases, they want to not only focus on developing their teams' core project management skills that help deliver projects effectively and consistently, but also the intangibles that come with it, such as change, influencing, negotiating & conflict management.
Suffice to say, I really nerd out about this stuff and have a passion for engaging with organizations to deliver them a clearer vision of the road ahead, a greater sense of calm, and a noticeable increase in productivity across all teams.
