My favorite series and PM! You’re the reason I’m transitioning to PM. I obtained my certification back in September and it has definitely opened doors for me. The entire time I was studying I kept telling myself “You can do anything you put your mind to.” I started interviewing for PM roles last month. Before every interview I tell myself “you can do anything you put your mind to.” I’m so excited. I’m hoping to land a new PM role at my dream company next month! Thank you Kristyn!

Having been in the PM space for 27 years (just retired on medical disability) I miss it. I took the test one time and didn’t pass in year 10 and I never wanted to take it again. But I was able to take certs to help me become a better PM. Then I became a BA, PC and Prokect Analyst. I loved my career but it was met with everyday challenges that would try to break me as an African American woman in a male dominated field at that time. It’s intense but you also gotta be organized and task oriented. Love this video thanks for bringing insight.

@thewordsmith5440 Год назад

Are you from the U.K. or Canada? I noticed you said year 10.

@clientattractionmedia4981 Год назад

Loved this! Definitely want a more detailed version. And to also hear your perspective of how you balance being a full time career woman with having a side hustle as a RU-vid and content creator. I have a full time career in B2B marketing and advertising and I used to have a full time business as a marketing consultant, but since I took on my full time role I'm finding it difficult to find the time to still do my side hustle, which is what I'm really passionate about. So any insights and perspective that you can give on this and how to balance it all would be very much appreciated. 🥰

@chestterfield 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for this series. It's been my 2nd yeat working remotely and almost 1st when I'm working as a PM and I'm learning a lot- I'm actually starting my studies next month (business management in marketing), so yeah it's serious for me (also I'm ADHD so it's a blessing for my chaotic life) and I'm really feeling it. What I'm battling with are those moments when projects are on hold or there is nothing really to do, because everything is on time and the guilt I get from past years of the fake hustle culture- I'm trying to spend that time as productive as I can by watching some webinars or finding just new ways to educate myself and improve0 or just do some house chores :D

@annagomez8214 Год назад

Studying for my PMP right now. I was so against it but the benefits are endless!

@StilettoShay Год назад

. . . same. I'm a nervous test taker, so I was scared to sit for it; I opted to sit for the CAPM instead. Interestingly enough, people have told me after the fact that the CAPM is more difficult than the PMP because it's 90% situational (which comes easy for some once you have the mindset) and you really have to know your stuff with the CAPM even though it's marketed as "entry-level"...I'm a senior PM BTW, but the growth don't stop. 💯 Best wishes, Valerie! 🤗 Kristyn, thanks boo as always--you know I love your PM uploads! 💜

@millerbyanca6 Год назад

Kristyn I have been following you for some time now and I have been really thinking about PM. I have a crazy question would you consider doing a live training/class to help people prepare for the exam ?

@KristynAlexis Год назад

I think that would be really challenging because the course has so many technical things and definitions. I’m also not certified as a trainer so I think it would give me a lot of exposure as well.

@millerbyanca6 Год назад

I totally understand. Well if you consider maybe being a tutor let me know 🤣🤣

@nialahjackson5619 Год назад

Love this! How were you able to pivot into so many different industries without extra certifications and industry experience?

@KristynAlexis Год назад

Thank you, I’ve been in healthcare overall even tho I’ve moved throughout the various aspects of healthcare (pharma, med device etc). However, I think the biggest thing is ensuring my experience is broad and at a high level can speak to different aspects of the roles I have transitioned into. I hope that helps.

@temiie. 8 месяцев назад

Working as a PM in the healthcare is my absolute dream, I am registered nurse on track to getting CAPM or PMP in January Do you have any advice on which I should go for and also I would really appreciate any tips on how to break into the healthcare sector as a PM You are absolutely inspiring @KristynAlexis

@natasharobinson3359 5 месяцев назад

I honestly think it’s worth it to get the PMP. Best part about it is a lot of employers will pay for it. If they’re giving it to you for free just do the work and get it. it’ll benefit you long-term.

Hi Kristyn!! I’m curious… would you consider teaching and selling courses on sites like Udemy? It’s apparent you’ve inspired so many to pursue a PM certification. Just seems like a great way to receive passive income in a field you are active in. 💫
