  • Hi! My name is Daniela and I'm joining the course from Monterrey, Mexico.

    I work at Tierra de Artistas (land of artists) which and my role is Project Development Manager. At Tierra de Artistas we offer cultural experiences to people who want to use their talents and knowledge for someone else, poor communities, global issues. We empower communities through art, architecture and design projects.

    I need to clear up my head with all the projects happening at a time and follow up on them properly and this area is where I need to apply everything I learn through out the course.

    We already have a team formed and I'm sharing my learnings with them as we go on.

    My experience with project management is purely empirical.

    Hello to all of you, I hope we all enjoy the course.

  • @Raphael01 message each of them directly. initial a conversstion and suggest a meeting time and place(Whatsapp, google, etc) for every member of the team. send a reminder to them before the time. and wait and see.

    But first ask if there is a meeting point or a team leader. if not you can assume this position and practice your leadership skill.

    let me know if this works..

  • Hi All,

    My name is Rachel and I am joining from San Francisco, California in the United States. I am the Associate Director of insights at Worldreader, a global reading organization. My goals for this training are to refresh my project management skills and see if there are any tools I can use to improve project management at my organization. I am a team player, and love working in teams, but I have had some issues connecting with teams on the platform so I will need to go it solo this round. I do have a fair amount of project management experience from my past and current work both in the for and non-profit space. Currently most of my project management revolves around research projects for the organization and rolling out systems improvements.
