The Project Management Podcast for PMs with a High Bar🍻
The Project Management Happy Hour podcast shares wisdom from Kim Essendrup & Kate Anderson on being a great project manager without losing your mind. With a combined 50 years of experience between them, they share real world examples of projects gone wrong, gone right, and gone off the rails.  You can take a quiz after listening to a podcast and earn PDUs to help keep your certification, and if you really want more people like you, the PM Happy Hour community will give you a place to grow with other like-minded Project Managers.

“If I did not have PM Happy Hour as a resource, I would be a lot more stressed. You’re fun and engaging. I really need your expertise.”
"Just a great space where you are getting expert advice in a way that’s approachable and fun, practical, genuine, authentic. You’re not afraid to talk about the real things."
“Kate & Kim are so highly competent and experienced. Hearing how you word things, how you put something in a log so it’s professional… I want to be there in 17 years.”
