Show Notes

In This Episode:

I had the pleasure of sitting down “virtually” over a zoom call with Joseph Phillips, an author, and trainer in the project management industry.  Joe is a well-established PM trainer and book author on the topic of project management. We spoke about his latest book and his thoughts on the PMP exam and PMP certification.  Joe has a diverse background in IT and project management and the certs, training, and experience to back it up.

We also touched on PDUs a theme I have been discussing in recent interviews and blog posts and a variety of book recommendations - see the list below.

This was a great interview, one of my favorites.  Joe was a genuine pleasure to talk with and I look forward to having him back in future episodes.

Joe's key recommendation on development:

Books Mentioned:

Did you know:
