#130 Ruth Pearce, The Project Motivator ( Rerun)

The Sunday Lunch Project Manager

This week we have a rerun of my conversation with Ruth Pearce, The Project Motivator. Support the Show British Podcast Awards On the 5th September ( my 25th wedding anniversary) the voting for British Podcast Awards will end and they have a peoples choice award, now I am under no delusions that I will win or get a notable mention, in fact in my opinion the Socially Distant Sports Bar should, and I have voted for them myself. However, there is a chance that it will help with the visibility of the show and potentially more listeners. I would be delighted if you could vote for the show and share on socials to get your colleagues and friends to vote. Pop along to ⁠www.nigelcreaser.com/britishpods2023⁠ to cast your votes. Shop In the shop we have a chance to buy mine and my guests' books, I get a bit of cash for all of them. ⁠www.nigelcreaser.com/shop⁠ Sponsors I have some great affiliates that I am working with Online PM Courses: Dr Mike Clayton offers a variety of project management courses for the beginner just starting out to a seasoned professional wanting to hone their skill. Check it out here ⁠www.nigelcreaser.com/onlinepmcourses⁠ AirManual: This software provides an excellent solution to documenting processes, but does much more than just documenting it creates an easily maintainable and useable set of process documentation, including interactive checklists.
