  • Clarifying a project’s purpose and the specific challenge it addresses is essential for determining whether it aligns with your broader improvement objectives. The foundation of effective project management rests on three critical processes: project identification and selection, developing comprehensive requests for proposals, and implementing a structured solicitation process.

    Salutations, Jossue here. I found this platform months ago on Instagram after I came across their highly educational posts on project management. I’ve been studying this topic since the start of this year and it has really sparked my interest, as I plan to start helping others in my community (entrepreneurs, small orgs) using project management as both a skill and a role. My hope here is to learn how from other people experiences and hopefully connect with other members IRL (Vancouver, BC) as I continue my learning journey. Cheers!

    Consultant, Trainer & Coach at Kayla Paulson, LLC,12 Aug 2025 at 02:44 pm

    Hi, I am Kayla Paulson, CVA, an accidental project manager. 🙂 Having spent much of my career in the health and human services industry, I have had decades of experience leading community-based collaborative projects that expand outside of the organizations that I have worked for. I am neurodivergent and often see and approach things from a nontraditional perspective. I love helping nonprofits invite the community in to serve with them and advance their mission, assisting comapnies with embedding volunteer engagement strategies into their CSR and Talent Development efforts to increase the return on investment, and supporting individuals who want to level up their skills or expand the breadth and depth of their experience through volunteerism to help them launch the next chapter of their professional career. I am happy to connect with this community and continue to refine my project management skills.

    Community Development Contributor at IPM,13 Aug 2025 at 11:22 am

    Welcome, Kayla! Great to have you here. Your unique perspective and extensive experience in community-based projects and volunteer engagement sound inspiring. I look forward to learning from you.
