I will show you exactly how to build a lucrative, independent career as a solo project manager by freelancing, consulting, or offering fractional project management services. Leveraging my proven coaching methods and strategies, you can unlock your potential to earn six figures annually and start commanding hourly rates between $100 and $400. With my guidance, you'll successfully transition from employee to Solo PM and secure your first paying client within 60 days or less. After pivoting into project management early in my career and eventually advancing to the role of COO, I transitioned again—this time into a thriving, six-figure freelance project management business. Today, I serve stable, long-term clients who consistently pay five figures each month. Now, I'm here to share the exact insights and strategies I've refined over the years so you can achieve similar results without the costly trial and error.

Active hands-on learning

Study with a community of like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you

Learn with a cohort of peers

The online world is full of content.&nbsp;Selling information isn't as helpful as it was five years ago.&nbsp;That's why cohort learning is so much more valuable.&nbsp;Instead of information, you get transformation.&nbsp;

Accountability from a cohort of peers

Learning is better with cohorts
