À propos de cet audio

 Books can help uncover career paths people didn’t even know they were qualified for. In this episode, I speak with Michael Shick, a retired U.S. military leader and now an assistant professor of project management at Western Carolina University, as well as the founder of Rosemet—a business dedicated to helping people enter and advance in project management careers. Michael shares the challenges that many aspiring project managers face: invisible prospects who don’t realize their work experience already qualifies them for high-demand certifications like the CAPM or PMP. He explains how Rosemet offers practical, flexible pathways to certification, combining structured content with mentorship, community, and ongoing support—especially for working professionals, military families, and career changers. We unpack the evolution of his approach, from academic rigor to community-driven support, and discuss how books like his open doors for meaningful conversations with people who never saw themselves as “project managers” but are already doing the work. The strategies are deeply applicable for anyone trying to build relationships with a mid-career audience that needs confidence and clarity more than just information. What I love about Michael’s approach is how focused it is on demystifying the path, not just promoting a program.
