The biggest challenge I faced was leading a critical project with tight deadlines and limited resources. To overcome this, I :

  1. Prioritized Tasks: Focused on key deliverables and broke the project into manageable milestones.
  2. Effective Communication: Regularly updated stakeholders and coordinated closely with my team.
  3. Adapted Quickly: Remained flexible and adjusted strategies based on evolving needs.

By staying organized and proactive, I successfully delivered the project on time and within scope, ultimately strengthening my leadership skills.

With the type of work that I do, it’s time management. There is seriously not enough time in the day. While I have a main source of income, I work on other sources. I choose to prioritize the other sources and what I will make with that time. It’s kind of like a trial and I discover things as I go.
