Leaders and Followers

October 3, 2011

This is a guest post by Peter Parkes, author of NLP for Project Managers. I recently found myself walking away from a project and used an NLP technique to help identify the root cause of my decision. At the same time I identified some lessons for leadership styles for project management. Understanding how we got [...]

The glass ceiling and women’s participation in MBAs

June 1, 2011

Don’t you love infographics? Here’s one I found about women in business. It says that “we’ve come a long way” in the salary stakes: not far enough, it seems to me, seeing that this says we still only earn 80% of what men do. Click it to see it in larger format on the original [...]

Bug warning

May 20, 2011

Two people have got in touch to say that they have received virus/bug warnings when they have been surfing around A Girl’s Guide to Project Management. I was concerned and contacted the company who hosts my site. They have scanned their servers, found a rogue file and cleaned it up. If you’ve received virus warnings [...]

A Project Alphabet

September 10, 2010

The July issue of Project Management Tipoffs from Arras People included their fun attempt at updating the phonetic alphabet, along with a challenge to readers to have a go at creating their own. Here’s my attempt, with a distinctly PM feel: Want to know what Zombie PM is? I’ll tell you next week!

Easter break

April 3, 2010

It’s Easter, so I’m taking a week off. I’ll be back on 12 April. Have a great week, and don’t eat too much chocolate!

Even on holiday…

September 16, 2009

Admittedly, I don’t wear my ‘project management clothes’ out in public very often, but this Projects@Work T-shirt, illustrating the triple constraint, was fine for hanging around the hotel.

Noticed anything?

September 12, 2009

This site has been ad-free for nearly 4 years, but now I’m playing with advertising. I hope you won’t find it intrusive, and I certainly don’t plan on having adverts pop up all over the place. However, I hope you’ll realise that it’s one way to control costs and enable me to bring you more [...]

Blog downtime

July 9, 2009

If you tried to access A Girl’s Guide to Project Management last night/this morning (depending on where in the world you are) it might not have been here.
