I remember that my first project management course was a five-day course, quite technical and complicated; it brought me memories of my earlier student years. I wanted to make project management exciting and easy for everyone to learn and get better at. And focus on senior executives and non-project management professionals.
I hope you are doing well.
I was never a good student. At high school and later on at university, I always struggled. Some subjects were interesting, yet, during the classes, I was hardly absorbed by the teacher; my mind was most of the time wandering around. I did pass the exams, but one of the main lessons from those 15 years was that studying was tedious and painful!
All this changed when I did an MBA at London Business School. I remember the first class; it was about marketing, the professor started by talking about some notorious brands, Apple and Volkswagen, and what they had done to become so successful. He fascinated my mind straightaway; I paid attention the entire 50 minutes – something that had never happened in the previous 15 years!
A different way of teaching
Wow, this is an entirely different way of teaching. So engaging, super interactive, and with so much impact. The professor made learning easy and fun! I got inspired and said to myself; I want to become like these professors.

As part of this journey, I aspired to develop a few courses for LinkedIn Learning. It was not an easy process as they get thousands of requests, but after many failed attempts, it worked out, thanks also to the help of a couple of good friends.
This summer we recorded the following two courses, which apply the same principles as when I started teaching: simple, fun, and impactful:
