Your instructor
Hi, I'm Alexis Daniel! With over a decade of experience navigating the unpredictable waters of project management, I have honed a unique expertise in guiding projects to successful completion. My journey began in the trenches of ad hoc team leadership, where I quickly learned the value of adaptability, clear communication, and resourcefulness in the face of changing scopes and tight deadlines. Through these experiences, I developed a deep-seated understanding of the challenges that accidental project managers face in today's multifaceted work environments.
My passion for the subject matter shines through in my teaching style, as I draw upon personal anecdotes and real-world scenarios to enrich "The Accidental Project Manager" course content. I crafted this course with a blend of empathy and practical strategies to empower individuals who find themselves tasked with the complex role of managing projects, regardless of their formal training or background. My goal is to equip my students with the confidence and skill set they need to not only survive but thrive as effective project managers, turning serendipity into success.
