    The SLAY Project Management course is designed to address several common challenges faced by professionals in project management, including:

    • Lack of Formal Training: Many project managers and accidental PM’s lack formal training in project management methodologies, which can lead to inefficient project execution. This course focuses on practical application, and easy to follow training that equips students with essential project management skills.
    • Lack of Confidence: Learning to use industry-standard project management tools and techniques give PMs increased confidence for handling real-world projects. The methodologies taught in the course allow them to improve consistency and predictability in project outcomes.
    • Poor Team Accountability: Unclear roles and responsibilities lead to missed deadlines and subpar performance. The course provides strategies for establishing clear roles and responsibilities within the team, promoting a culture of accountability and ownership.
    • Inconsistent Project Outcomes: Projects often suffer when they lack standardized processes and practices. The course introduces best practices and standardized templates.
    • Lack of Guidance and Advice: Adriana provides personalized feedback and mentorship, helping you navigate challenges and build confidence in the PRO program.
    • Poor Communication and Collaboration: Effective communication and collaboration are crucial for project success. The course emphasizes techniques for improving communication within project teams and with stakeholders, including all ready-for-you to execute email correspondence.
    • Time and Budget Overruns: Projects frequently exceed their timelines and budgets. The course teaches project managers how to plan, monitor, and control project timelines and budgets more effectively to avoid overruns.
    • Technology Access Limitations: Many teams don’t have any access to advanced tools and technologies for project planning. The course uses the Office Suite products to run your projects.
    • Skill Gaps: Project management requires a diverse set of skills, including leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving. The course bridges these skill gaps with comprehensive training in all key areas of project management.
    • Lack of Standardization:Inconsistent project management practices can lead to inefficiencies and varying results across projects. The course provides standardized processes and templates to ensure uniformity and consistency across all projects.
    • Inadequate Risk Management: Many projects fail due to insufficient risk management. The course covers strategies for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks, helping project managers to proactively address potential issues.

    MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

    Hey there! I'm Adriana Girdler. I'm all about making things happen in project management, productivity, and efficiency. With over two decades of experience spanning across Technology, Health Care, Manufacturing, Logistics, Energy, Finance, and Construction, I've pretty much seen it all!

    I'm certified as a SLAY Project Management Specialist, Project Management Professional (PMP), Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, and Certified Engineering Technologist (CET), and I've put these skills to work since day one. Back in 2008, I decided to share my expertise by founding CornerStone Dynamics, a consultancy aimed at supercharging business productivity and project success.
    One thing led to another, and in 2020, I launched the SLAY Project Management course. Then, in 2023, I kicked it up a notch with SLAY PRO, offering weekly group coaching calls to really dive deep into strategic thinking.

I have a PMP certification and to achieve that, I had to spend almost 3 months studying the material to pass the exam (and I did it on my 1st attempt :)). The SLAY training was more practical and I was able to complete it in about 2 weeks time. And, all the templates provided proved to be so useful in my Project Management role."

    Brandy B.

    "First of all, this course boosted my self esteem and confidence. I got promoted to a PM role without any resources or tools to be successful. I had to fish my way around until I came across this course. It is the best career investment I have made for myself. I am now ready and confident to slay all my project like a PM ninja."

    Adelaide K.

    "As an education professional starting out in the Project Manager career path, I found much more understanding of the project management roadmap and protocols after completing the SLAY program.

Thank you so much Adriana for your service!"

    Raymond K.

    "I am usually cautious about purchasing online courses as there is so much free content available, but I will say seeing how organized and practical this all was through the Fab 5 video got me excited to pull the trigger and make an investment in myself. Thank you for the work in putting this on and I am through the roof excited to get going!"
