My heart sings when reading some of the comments from the CAPstone attendees! I appreciate the opportunities that I have with IAAP and I am also grateful to the IAAP members that see the value in pursuing their learning journey and including project management into their world. I see this as a WIN/WIN - I really enjoy sharing the power of project management with you, and you can learn how beneficial it is to understand, and apply, project management practices in your role and within your organization. Here are some of the comments from your colleagues who have attended the CAPstone PM Specialty Certification course:
“Thank you for being such a genuine and fabulous instructor who provided us with the opportunity to learn new things—tools we can now add to our portfolio, or rather, to our everyday "Toolkit Folder" you helped us start, as well as more initials to add behind our names.”
“Thank you for a wonderful class experience, Mary Beth. As Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I could have been having “a day”, and then join class, or get an email from you, and your genuine enthusiasm, encouragement, and passion would absolutely reset my day every single time.”
“Mary Beth – I know you do this in addition to your “day job” – I love how passionate you are and the energy you put into the videos, emails, and materials. Your enthusiasm is contagious.”
“I’m thoroughly enjoying discussing what I’m learning with my executive. What you’ve presented thus far has been enlightening and is helping me connect the dots as I reflect on a few projects that I’ve been privy to since joining the organization four years ago.”
“You are an impressive instructor, Mary Beth and clearly care deeply about your students and our learning.”
“Thanks for such a great class. You are very skilled at presenting and helping participants close the loop each week. I had many breakthroughs during class.”
“I want to sincerely thank you for an outstanding class. Our organization is in the midst of embracing project management and adopting new systems and practices. That is why I chose to take this Capstone course. I wanted to deepen my understanding of project management so that I may better support my team. Your course has given me valuable insights and practical tools that I am excited to bring to my role. I truly appreciate the opportunity to learn from you.”
“I want to sincerely thank you for teaching this course and for the thoughtful way you guided us through the material. Your ability to connect the concepts to our real-world work made the learning experience both practical and meaningful. I truly appreciated your encouragement and the space you created for us to share and learn from each other. This course has had a lasting impact on how I approach projects, and your leadership played a big part in that.”
“The Project Management class has been an amazing experience. I’ve learned so much that I didn’t know about how to manage a project. The most profound lesson was that project management can be used in everything I do from personal to professional. Thank you so much for an amazing class and the wealth of information you provided. I will certainly continue to use and share with my team and family members.”
“I have learned that it takes teamwork to be successful. Everyone in this class had a unique story to tell and I learned so much just listening to the experience of my classmates, especially on strong leadership and team collaboration. I’ve also learned that I need to be true to myself and my part in any project to make sure it’s successful.”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for guiding us through the Project Management Specialty Certificate course. Your insights, examples, and steady encouragement made a real difference, especially during those moments when the material felt challenging or familiar in new ways. I really appreciated how you connected project management theory to real-world applications and encouraged us to reflect on our own work processes. It made the content more meaningful and practical.”
“I want to say that I really enjoyed taking this course with you. You made everything feel much more manageable compared to other Project Management courses I’ve taken, which can be overwhelming—especially for someone who hasn’t had prior experience. I appreciated how you used real, day-to-day examples to make the concepts easier to understand.”
“I have learned so much from your class. I enjoy your enthusiasm and love for PM. Thank you, Mary Beth! It’s been a wonderful journey of growth and learning.”
“I truly have enjoyed this course and what it has taught me in these almost 8 weeks. I like your diligence in ensuring everyone understands what is going on in each phase of project management.”
Projects are all around us! As Administrative Professionals, you’re juggling a lot and projects are only one of the items on your to do list. Am I right? I’ve been working with IAAP long enough to understand the value that you bring to your organizations and I want to help raise your level of success with your projects.
I continue to ask the administrative community for input on their project challenges, and discussion topics that would be beneficial to their project management experiences so that I can continue to improve upon the Project Management CAPstone Certification course!
