There is a long list of skills a PM should have, that might be true. Since 2015 I have been working on all of my PM skills, and I would say that with your professional growth you need to focus on different areas. as a beginner PM there are definitely different priorities rather when you are a senior guy. At the same time we change while growing, our judgement changes, we uncover new improvement areas and it is a beauty of getting stronger professionally.
What are the key soft skills I feel are underestimated and would be a great asset in a professional journey?
00:38 - 1️⃣ empathy
02:14 - 2️⃣ ability to incorporate diversity into the team culture
04:04 - what is dogfooding
05:43 - 3️⃣ communication
06:25 - 4️⃣ business vision
08:22 - 5️⃣ have courage to PITCH ideas
09:46 - 6️⃣ be able to create SAFE environment for your team

Very well explained. 😊
I love you 💓
thanks
Well explained
Excellent. Loved your efforts ❤
Thank you it's very interesting ❤
Thanks well explained
Love seeing your shorts, Kristina! Super helpful and concise.
Well explained - Thank you.
excellent content i was looking for project portfolio management then you really clarified several terms to me and moreover you took step forward and helped me in my main issue
I think having the courage to share your ideas is crucial as some of the best ideas come from people who decided to stand for what they believe in :)
A perfect way of explanation by this example, great work 🤝🏻
Hey there, which skill do you think is the most important for a PM? 🧐💬
Much appreciated for simplifying these concepts with understandable example . 🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks for the video
This was really helpful, thank you for creating this.
I am using your videos to help review before I take my CAPM exam...Great work!!!
Excellent high-level overview.
I mean, fckups happen whatever our skills or experience are :) it's how we deal with them that matters. But it's always frustrating of course :) Loved the case studies! Multilanguage apps are SUCH a pain! I can certainly feel you there. I loved how you showed your resourcefulness, regardless that it wasn't needed at the time :) So the main lesson is ALWAYS coordinate your actions (and have them approved by!) with the client. We all learn the hard way :)
I have to say, I love the approach you took, Kristina! You brought a much-needed sense of humanity to the topic of project management failures. Your honesty and transparency about your own experiences made me feel like I wasn't alone in my struggles. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
Thank you for the video but your audio was very hard to understand
Well Explained!!! Thank you
Thank u👏🏻👏🏻✌️
I haven't heard of 3W+H formula before, but I did hear a similar approach from Adriana Girdler if I'm not mistaken. "Who - What - When - How" I do remember clearly :) it's just thankfully I don't have to use these tricky tactics anymore :)))) P.S. Love the audio in this episode, so clear and good quality 👍
Thanks for your feedback 😄 good to know I have managed to explain it clearly, hopefully the formula that I have composed is sth easy to remember 😊
This 3W+H formula is amazing, Kristina! 🤯 It's so simple yet effective, and I love how it helps make sure your communication plan actually works. Plus, it saves everyone's time, and who doesn't love that? 😍
So glad you found it useful! 🎉😊
Communication management on projects could be a pain in the neck. What I have done recently, I have collected the Communication Management skills I earned and proved with my experience on REAL projects, and turned into a FORMULA which will help you make sure: ✅ your communication plan WORKS ✅ you get to what you need from the project stakeholders ✅ you do not waste anyone's time on communication Here you go! → 3W + H ← Let me know if you wanna give it a try! 🚀 th-cam.com/video/1DQIK6rEC0Y/w-d-xo.html
I only had a 1 year experience in tech as a Senior Software Engineer. (Just graduated last year in college) I want to shift into entry level project management role like junior p.m. Is that enough experience for me to apply entry level pm roles? (i just self studied project management and no experience in project management but I had do had experience when I was in college and doing client facing with clients as an employee).
Ahh intros are tricky! And no it's not my inner youtuber speaking now :))) as a youtuber?? i dropped the intros altogether and it's fine, but as a professional? You have to be creative if you meet a conservative person. For all the rest, it's direct and friendly: hi, I'm Olga, I'm your new XYZ, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all! :) I'm quite a straightforward ol' lady. P.S. Простая как валенок, будем откровенны)
This video on introducing yourself to new colleagues and team members is a game-changer, Kristina! The tips and tricks provided for confident and proficient leadership are invaluable for anyone looking to make a great first impression! 😊
How do you usually introduce yourself professionally? 😉💭
'promo sm' 😅
Great video, Kristina! It's helpful to hear about the experiences and insights of someone who's been in the field for a while! Your tips and advice will certainly help us avoid some common mistakes and set us on the right path towards success Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! :)
glad to know you enjoyed it and feel it's helpful! I also like to watch about people's experiences - this helps to catch some tips for your personal plans 😀
Loved the episode, Kristina! When I was laid off, I did the wrong thing by not re-thinking my priorities and jumping into the same career path again. The only change I've made was to accept a remote/WFH position. It was a huge jump for me anyways since I've been used to corporate, high-stress environment, but I should've done was to analyze my aspirations and re-think my career entirely. I still think about it, and actually I do research now from time to time to analyze the current situation and understand what I MIGHT do, in case I need to urgently apply anywhere. Great tips and insights, Kristina. Makes us think before making a move. 👊
P.S. Loved the audio quality in your vid, and the camera movement toward yourself. Gives a sense of dynamics!
good to know you found it useful! definitely, it worth reviewing the progress and achievements you've made so far, it helps to adjust the plans and to pivot timely OR to have a plan B. Would be nice if you would how you became an entrepreneur 😀many people want to but just few make a step towards it
What if I start my career from scratch? 🚀👩🏽💻 junior Project Manager again Which tips would you use first?
Imposter syndrome can often get the best of us! These tips on how to get rid of it as a Project Manager are pure gold and will certainly help out many!
Amazing video! As a Project Manager, keeping stakeholders informed and engaged is one of the most important tasks. This video has given me some fantastic tips and strategies on how to do it effectively. The explanations are clear, concise, and easy to follow! I'll definitely be implementing these suggestions in my future projects and I'm confident that they'll make a big difference. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, Kristina!
Happy to know it was helpful 😀 Thank you for watching!
Updating stakeholders is a MUST. Be that good or bad news, they should know. And btw, if you represent the issues right, they will appreciate you managing all this stuff. And you will show yourself as a problem solver :) And anyways? They will feel like there's a dynamics on the project! ^_^
So true! Wow, good to know you know how to build PRO relationships and to keep things under the control 👏🏽
@@KristinaKushner I’m an old timer 😁
hey there! do you keep your stakeholders updated and how often do you do this? 😉
Imposter syndrome is everywhere... and in PM? It's more than anywhere else! 😹 unless you're a team lead? but that's a different story!
well, to become a team lead you normally pass through all the stages before and should already know how to deal with this imposter syndrome at work 😅
@@KristinaKushner and probably you don't care at this stage 😅
@@OlgaPogozheva hahah, true 😁
Unfortunately, imposter syndrome is way more common than we think in all areas of life. I've been there, especially in the first year of launching my practice, and it took a lot of inner work to overcome it :)
I feel you, glad to know you have left it behind 💙
Have you ever felt like a fraud being a professional? (have you experienced a project management imposter syndrome)?? 😳
Hi Kristina, I am in the process of applying for my PMP application. I have basically outlined my descriptions as you recommend and in the objective I’ve clearly outlined the project. For the description of the 5 process groups do I need to get any more detailed then outlining what I did in each part as you mentioned here. I just want to ensure I am do not need to be any more specific then saying “ I created the project charter and defined the stakeholders etc “
How about instead just make a new email ID, create new account on PMI, and make a fresh application with that email ID and hope for that application to not be picked up for an audit? I am planning on doing so, so your guidance is much sought. TIA
