"Empowering", "Enlightening", "Inspiring", and "Fantastic" are words taken from the course feedback forms describing this unique and meaningful course.
Thank you to Bill and Joann Truby for leading the instruction during the 2-day "Project Management Course" by Midwest GeoSciences Group in April. Thanks to Lori Peters too for leading course segments on "QA/QC" and "Relentless Accountability".
Most of all, thanks to the course attendees for accepting their in-course assignments and participating in the exercises that enriches this amazing course experience.

For me, it is amazing to re-learn the difference - and more importantly, the outcome - between "communicating" and "connecting" with people. We all "communicate", but only small minority can truly "connect" in a genuine way. This course teaches people how to connect, and create mutually beneficial outcomes for everyone. That is a great gift given to us through Bill and Joann and it overflows from our professional work into our personal lives.....thus everyone around us benefits, always.

The classroom was on the top floor of the Begin Tower on campus at the South Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Thank you to SAIT for allowing access into this perfect classroom with 40-mile views overlooking Calgary, the far prairies, and the Canadian Rockies.

One of the powerful elements of this course that makes it both resonate with attendees and fun for everyone is the exercises. After all, not all project management can be accepted sitting down, right?
