PPP 434 | The Surprising Benefits of Bad English in Leadership, with Valerie Fridland

- "I said I study vowel movements. He heard bowel movements and thought I was a gastroenterologist."

In this episode, Andy interviews Karla Eidem, the Managing Director of North America region at Project Management Institute (PMI). The discussion focuses on the latest trends and developments in project management. They explore the evolution of project managers from executing technical aspects to becoming strategic partners in organizations.
