🤝🏻 Let's talk about the Dynamic Roles: Project Manager and Account Manager As someone who's wearing these two distinctive hats in my career, I can tell what's similar and different in these roles. Sometimes I wear one and/or two roles at the same time, and on a recent LIVE episode, the host asked me what's the difference between them and how to be successful in every role. Well, let's dive in more, and as always, here's just one opinion as not all views and paths are the same. 🔶 Project Manager When you're a Project Manager, it's all about embracing challenges, diving deep into the details, orchestrating projects to success, and more. You're the captain steering the ship, ensuring projects set sail smoothly from inception to completion. Your tech-savviness, collaboration, resource wizardry, and client-focused nature are your best allies. Your success metric? Delivering on time, on budget, exceeding expectations, and making projects come into reality!  🔷 Account Manager On the flip side, being an Account Manager is all about building meaningful, long-term relationships. Your clients are your north star, and your mission is to understand their goals, dreams, and wishes. You're the bridge that connects them with your organization's solutions. Cultivating, nurturing, and supporting—these are your superpowers! Your success is measured in client satisfaction, collaboration, loyalty, portfolio growth, and a great account! ⚖️ The Balancing Act So, here I am, juggling these two incredible roles. Of course, I'm doing everything not only on my own but also our personalities, leadership, cooperation, being organized, willing to give and accept feedback, time management, fast and effective reaction, and more as managers make contributions as well as teams, clients, every project, and account and/or project stakeholders, all these factors are parts of the strength. It's all about finding the winning spot between detailed project management and client-focused relationships. It's a so-rewarding journey. Let's cheer on the dynamic duo! If you've worn these hats too, share your thoughts. If not, which role resonates more with your career aspirations?🚀

Wanted to take time to reflect on what I've learned this past few months, whilst being immersed in intense, non-stop, environments. Let's Explore - Product Manager My role at Let's Explore has given me, amazing, daily masterclasses from those I work alongside and given me a template for how to progress in my professional development. I am now focused on improving my efficiency and speed of communication. The opportunity to collaborate with industry experts has not only widened my skill set but has been an inspiring lesson in the power of collective expertise. Aurora Hills - Director Launching Aurora Hills has been a highlight for me, marked by our successful first launch. Working on this project with friends has been immensely rewarding, after countless after-hour work and sacrifices it has been such a pleasure to nurture this with Harrison Perry, Cameron Peacock and Ewan Peacock. Our motivation to power on is fueled by the positive response we've received. Rochdale St. Clements - First Team Assistant Manager: My role at St. Clements has been a journey of introspection and growth. Taking a step back with fresh eyes, I've identified areas for development to propel us towards our goal of being title challengers within 12 months. My appreciation for the team is through the roof, and my drive to help lead us to success remains. Learnings: Develop efficiency, communication, and collaboration. Goals: Manufacturing a culture of growth and teamwork, refining strategies for our projects at Let's Explore and Aurora Hills, and creating a POA for Rochdale St. Clements' development.

Excited to share my recent experience at the #TrueDigitalDay conference where I had the chance to talk about my journey in leading a dynamic team of creative project managers at Samokat.  At the heart of my approach are some key principles and core values that have guided me and my team: Transparent Processes: We believe in open and honest communication, ensuring everyone is on the same page. Strong Argumentation: Robust discussions lead to better decisions, and we encourage well-founded debates. Collaboration: Teamwork makes the dream work! We're all in this together. Safe Space for Team: Creating an environment where everyone feels heard and valued is paramount. Open Dialogue: We encourage active communication channels to foster ideas and feedback. Regular Retrospective: Reflecting on our past efforts helps us improve and grow continuously. But here's the kicker: before we embark on any change, we ensure our team is fully prepared and understands their roles and responsibilities inside out. It's all about fostering growth and innovation, and I'm grateful to have had this opportunity to share and learn.

When starting a new project one of the first things I decide is how will I keep myself on track. When working with a team, often virtually, there are so many different methods to communicating and staying coordinated. What is your favorite way to stay organized?

Today I'm celebrating 3 years as a project manager. Here are 3 helpful lessons I've learned during my journey: → Building trust with your team is crucial for success. → Being approachable and creating a positive work environment fosters a strong team bond. → Recognizing and celebrating individual achievements motivates the team to go the extra mile. While it's easy to get caught up in tasks and deadlines, I've learned that it's the people who make the project, not the other way around. Take the time to get to know your team, and they'll be more likely to support you in achieving your goals.
