Last week, I talked to someone who works as a project coordinator. They really want to become a project manager but feel stuck. Why? Their resume doesn’t have the words "Project Manager" on it. So, no one wants to give them a chance. They’re in this loop, like trying to play a game where no one gives you the right tools to level up. I had to be honest with them. Brutally honest. I said, "Look, as a project coordinator, your job is like building a LEGO castle. You: →Gather all the LEGO pieces. →Follow the instructions. →Double-check every brick is where it should be. →But...you don’t choose what castle to build. Now, if you’re a project manager, things are different: →You’re the one deciding what castle to build. →You make sure the castle doesn’t collapse. →And if pieces are missing, you find a way to make it work anyway. So, I asked them, “What’s stopping you from taking on more responsibility?” I said, "Next time: →Ask if you can make a small decision. →Offer to solve a problem before someone else does. →Speak up when the castle looks like it’s about to fall. That’s how you level up from coordinator to manager. Start doing some of the things a PM would do. Even if the title isn’t on your resume yet, show people you’ve got the skills. Because in the end, it’s not the title that makes you a project manager. It’s how you step up when it’s time to build the castle. Thanks for the read.

For once and all, Project Manager and Program Manager; They're Not the Same, Folks! Ever heard the terms "project manager" and "program manager" thrown around and gotten a little confused? Let me, your friendly neighbourhood project manager, break it down for you! **Imagine you're building a house: ** Project Manager: You're the foreman, keeping the daily tasks on track. Framing ✅ Electrical ✅ Plumbing ✅ High fives all around! Program Manager: You're the architect, overseeing the big picture. Ensuring the foundation is solid, the blueprints are followed, and the house meets the budget. Think long-term vision with a sprinkle of stress dreams. **Here's the funny part: Program Managers often wrangle multiple projects (like building a whole neighbourhood!), while Project Managers focus on one project at a time. ** So, which one are you? Project managers, leave an emoji below! Program managers, comment with an ️ emoji! Let's celebrate the amazing world of project management, together! #projectlife #programlife #projectmanagement #programmanager

So you’re a Project Manager who’d like to be a Development Manager. I’d say 60/70% of the PM’s I speak to have aspirations of one day becoming a Development Manager. These roles are hugely competitive with DM’s looking for a promotion or sideways move, and half the PM market, architects and engineers also looking to transition across. So here are some things to consider and know to give yourself the best chance of landing that Development Manager role. ✅ Manage projects in the sector you want to be a Development Manager. If they develop residential towers and you’ve built warehouses they’re likely to go in the direction of PM’s or DM’s with that exposure. Even if you’re the cream of the crop, it’s risk mitigation on the part of the hiring manager. ✅ Consider working as a Project Manager for a Developer first so they can see your skills first hand. ✅ Don’t expect a large pay rise when your making the switch. Sometimes you need a sideways step to then move forward. ✅ Make sure you fully understand the role of a Development Manager and what that entails. All to often I speak to people who aren’t really sure what they’ll do, but just think they’ll get to make more decisions on project direction. ✅ lastly, make sure you can strongly articulate why you want to make the move. “I want to be the final decision maker on a project” is fair, but probably isn’t the direction you want to go in. #projectmanager #developmentmanager #propertydevelopment #realestate #construction #careermove #recruitment

It’s not just about flawless execution. Project managers are responsible for project success - for ‘delivering value that is worth the effort and expense.’ From the article- “Above all else, choose a PM who is a partner. Many people make the mistake of hiring project managers and expecting them to be overqualified secretaries, and my friend, that is not the job. A PM has as much stake in the success of your project as you do, and they also have the added burden of having to be an enforcer and cheerleader at the same time.” #projectsuccess
