Project Management Coaching
A project is a journey to a goal that is guaranteed to be filled with many challenges along with way.
It takes a special kind of person to be a Project Manager. Not only do you have to deal with the scope, scheduling, technical, creative, budgetary and administrative aspects of managing a project, you also have to deal with the complex nature of people, clients, executives and team members alike, all the while multi-tasking, thinking on your feet and keeping everyone happy.
With over 20 years of Project Management experience managing a range of clients from Fortune 500 companies to solo-entrepreneurs, tracking budgets from thousands to millions of dollars, Gemma & Bixley has developed a breakthrough project management coaching process to help you deal with the everyday challenges of managing a project and team.
Whether you are an employee, manager, executive, CEO and/or business owner, we have a way to help everyone.
