Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT I spent a rainy weekend in April watching every streaming show I could find on Greece. It was my first “arm chair” adventure as I tend to prefer to take the actual trip than to just dream about taking the trip someday. However my plans to travel to […]
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT A recent Cheetah Exam Prep student, who passed PMI’s PMP exam “Above Target” in every area, posted this on Trust Pilot: “Cheetah Learning is EXCELLENT! The instructors in this program did an amazing job teaching course material in a way that was easy to understand, follow and absorb
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT When I was younger (way younger), I would do woodworking projects with my Dad. They started out with some design I had sketched out on graph paper (this was before Computer Aided Design). We spent a good deal of time measuring – way more than the measure twice,
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT In a world going increasingly insane, the mantra “It’s All Just Information” is what keeps me on this side of the sanity line.

Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT What I love about the Cheetah Agile Project approach is the focus on only one project for two weeks. It allows me to say “no” to taking on more “opportunities” than any human could possibly handle. What I find happens in those times where there are people clamoring
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT Much can happen in two weeks. Think back two weeks ago. Did you know you would be where you are doing what you are doing right now? For many of us, that answer is a solid NO. Two weeks ago, I was embarking on a goal to blog
Sometimes it seems like project managers can make things a lot more complicated than it needs to be for doing projects. It’s one of the reasons I was so attracted to Agile Project Management in the early days about 15 years ago. But anymore, even with something that used to be simple like Agile, there
Michelle LaBrosse, PMP, CAC, PMI-ACP, CCPM, RYT My friends tease me saying “You are a dyslexic snow bird as you prefer being in Alaska in the winter and Arizona in the summer. I joke back “it’s because I find balance being in the extremes.” I like living this way because I get to exercise my project management
