The Project Mindset (Speech)

We've always known we were different, but not really sure how. Our sponsors call on us when there's a challenge, but not necessarily because we know their business. Our functional peers look at us and ask why we like this work with all the stress surrounding it, and our answer seldom sways them. Our family asks us to explain our work, and our answer doesn't remove the glazed look in their eyes. And when we look in the mirror, we're not really sure ourselves what makes us gravitate to projects. It's just a mindset, and we can't shake it.

The Project Mindset provides a light-hearted look at ourselves as project managers and helps us sort it all out.
