As she puts it, “It’s very rewarding seeing the light bulb go on in a student’s head, and see their sense of confidence when they grasp the concept we’re talking about.” She makes it her mission to teach project management concepts and new ideas in fun and memorable ways.

Passionate Project Management takes a holistic view of the project management professional who is obtaining their credential, and presents the material in a logical, real-world manner. “Too many training companies out there do not devote appropriate attention and support for the training participant,” says Lenora. “I’m proud to work with a company that does.”
