POSITION:

projrct manager

GOT THE JOB? Yes

  • Introduction: You’ll explore what your strengths are as an individual, building a shared understanding of the goals and dreams of each person. This is where mutual benefit will begin to arise, as you identify what you have to offer each other throughout the programme. You will build up a picture of the interests and challenges facing each individual and decide what are the highest priorities for you to tackle.
  • Perfect? No! Networked, Yes! Using the identified strengths of the group and a group forum, you’ll work out the best way that you can support each other to deliver the best for your clients. While Penny is able to train many aspects of project management and business analysis just-in-time, you can expect that the network will provide access to a huge range of support in technical and other areas.
  • Your Business… Many contractors lurch from contract to contract, taking whatever is offered. This is not an attractive proposition for Outstanding Outsiders and, as part of the programme, we’ll support you to develop a vision for you and your business. Where would you like to be in five or ten years time? How much will you be working? What areas will you specialise in? Will you still be contracting? I wonder!
  • Starting a New Contract We’re expected to hit the ground running, so we’ll draw together the best advice and guidance from the network on how to start a new contract, with tips and tools that can help you get going quickly.
  • Business Proposals That Sell Penny doesn’t usually work on day rates but has fixed fees for her projects. You’ll run through the options for pricing your work and how these can work for you and your clients.
  • Developing Confidence How can you build confidence as an Outstanding Outsider? Throughout the programme, you’ll develop your confidence, usually from the legs up, through practice. Developing confidence is the biggest benefit reported by Penny’s mentees.
  • Building Thought Leadership To become a truly Outstanding Outsider, you’re likely to develop thought leadership in your area. This attracts people and potential clients to your work, raising your profile and probably your rates too. First of all, you’ll need to know who your own ideal clients are, the ones you love to work with. We’ll look at how you can use social media, blogs, articles/books and speaking to raise your profile with them. We’ll look too at other ways you can market your skills without becoming salesy or spending too much time in this area.
