First and foremost, this blog is aimed at helping other business people. My personal expertise is business analysis, project management, public speaking and facilitation. Even so, this entire blog is not meant to be advice, but rather an examination of topics that I personally find compelling and hope to evoke thought in others about. So, please do not read something about my thoughts on managing your boss, then go tell your boss that Anne M. told you to!
For professional reasons, if I refer to my company, myself, or others, I will be changing names. I wishy-washed on that a bit at first, but finally decided anonymous was the best start since I've never blogged before. The reasons for this are not to obscure my integrity, but rather aiming for the freedom to speak frankly in a world where people get fired for saying they had a bad day at work on Facebook. Also, to be honest, I also want to keep this blog from becoming a vanity piece.
However, I think anyone listening to me waffle on might want to know some things about the person whose blog they're reading, if for no other reason than to weigh up what my biases are.
I currently work in client services (that is my company outsources my work to another company) as a project manager. My strengths are around strategy and project delivery. My weaknesses are very much around management of senior stakeholders and personal stress levels. My aspirations are to work on greenfield projects, delivering new technology and great things to this world. And, if I cannot deliver something great of huge importance at this time, at least I can begin delivering something small of reasonably significant importance now; that is insight into the corporate world in a stark, honest manner - the good, the bad, the ugly. And maybe, those insights will help others.

And if people comment on my silliness, providing me with new insight... well, that'd be great, wouldn't it?
Thank you for reading!
