Project Performance X-Y-Z

Masterclass 400.  Here we deal with the life cycle of your project. I listen, coach, listen, evaluate, listen, test, and ultimately inspire you to cross your project finish line. I will even visit you while you’re performing your project. And yes, you will be graded and evaluated. This class is being offered at a ridiculous introductory price because I want you to learn that the “performance grade is in the listening experience.” Check!
