PROJECT & TIME MANAGEMENT

I have worked with (and continue to) people from all parts of the globe. India, Serbia, Romania, Latin America, Bangladesh, China, are a few. With some providers, we have been in contact for over 10 years!

Communication, setting expectations, and understanding “how to communicate’ has been an important factor in working with non USA based freelancers, developers, and service providers.

I am a results-driven professional, I am committed to maximizing labor productivity and minimizing wasted time in order to deliver high-quality work results efficiently. I am skilled in optimizing workflows and processes to achieve maximum efficiency and have a proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding project timelines and goals.

I am adept at identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in project workflows, as well as leveraging technology and automation to streamline processes and increase productivity. By prioritizing clear communication and collaboration, I ensure that all team members are aligned and working toward common objectives, which results in faster project completion times and improved quality outcomes.

I utilize tools like Asana, Monday, Slack, Teams, Planner, Projects to create efficient procedures to get quality work done on time every time!

Working with people, teams, developers, designers, and attending meetings after meetings I realized it’s really a mindset. One that can be controlled and set by organizers and leadership.

Great minds don’t think alike … that’s a trap of “Group Think” and I have seen this time and time again…actually they are the norm in group meetings.

Most people in meetings are uncomfortable with the clash of ideas… why? They perceive it as a conflict.

The goal of great discussions is not to land on the same page of thought, it’s to explore and form different and productive views.

Instead, the goal of any meeting organizer or leadership is to create the culture where we approach meetings and agendas with understanding that their will be different views and to approach these views and thoughts with curiosity and exploration so we can build on thoughts and ideas.

Our group needs to go in thinking that the ideas are owned by no one. Collectively we are here to explore ideas and set things in motion that will affect us all.

Our group needs to be able to challenge, scrutinize, poke, prod and embrace ideas without anyone taking it personally. example verbiage we can use is:

“What if we looked at things a different way?…”

“Can we consider the possibility that?….”

“This may sound crazy, but what if we?…”

“Any crazy thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?…”

This sort of collective group think breaks the barriers of people in meetings from being passive participants to active inputters.

Once we collectively use our critical thinking skills and NOT be afraid of how we look to the group…then we’ve crossed into true group thinking.

As a seasoned professional with many years of direct experience in tech and digital marketing, and the printing industry… I can say I have a good background that can help. I have a proven track record of providing effective leadership and guidance to teams in support of complex projects and initiatives.

By fostering a collaborative and solutions-focused work environment, I have been able to successfully lead cross-functional teams in delivering innovative and impactful digital solutions that drive business growth and success.

I am an experienced project manager with a demonstrated ability to plan, execute, and deliver complex projects on time and within budget. I am highly proficient in utilizing project management tools such as Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Jira, Microsoft Project, and others to streamline project workflows, allocate resources effectively, and ensure that all project stakeholders are kept informed and engaged throughout the project lifecycle.

My strong organizational and communication skills enable me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, manage competing priorities, and facilitate successful project outcomes. Additionally, I have a keen eye for identifying and mitigating project risks, and I am adept at adapting to changing project requirements and priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

With a career of nearly 20 years in the I.T. and Print industry. I have built a select network of extremely professional and capable individuals that I can utilize to scale up a project.

Need a security expert who has won Bug Bounties from Google, IBM, and others discovering zero days?

Need a graphic designer who has worked with Pepsi, Orange, and some of the worlds largest companies?

Need a PowerBI/LookerStudio expert who also builds and owns DataConnectors via Looker Marketplace?

My list goes on and on.

When I say I have known these individuals. I mean we have slept on each others couches and homes and have met up many times and stay in contact with each other working helping each other out when needed on projects.

Creating symbiotic relationships with key labor providers has allowed me (us) to collectively achieve more for companies and provide solutions that work.

When and if we need to expand on agendas, projects, labor, we can have those conversations.

ANALYTICS & ADVANCED REPORTING
WORDPRESS & SEO

I have built, installed, maintained hundreds of WordPress websites. Utilized custom themes, purchase themed, builders like Elementor, WPakery, FusionBuilder and more.

I have learned a thing or two in correct WP stack, themes, and plugin management that provides the best performance footprint and “cost of ownership” over the life of a build.

I have developed custom WP plugins for specific functional needs.

I try to limit the use of plugins on WP as it’s bad for business unless absolutely necessary and the code development has been vetted out and is supported.

If a WP owner or web designer/developer understands that statement then we are ahead of the game.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS

This is such a rapidly moving space and one that I am in both awe and motivated to make part of my daily work life. I started using A.I. assist tools like Rytr in 2021 to speed content creation along. In 2022/23 ChatGPT and OpenAI, Midjourney really have accelerated this space with tools and services that are changing work.

This field is definitely changing how work is done and I intend to stay up to date with trends, tools and technology that I can embed in my everyday life and help businesses power their needs utilizing platforms as needed.

Open AIs ChatGPT has exploded on the scene in late 2022 and advanced in 2023. The app market is one that will launch its capabilities to new levels. I have been using it with the AIPRM extension to maximize “prompt engineering” and create content, keyword research, topic clusters, and formatted content.

I have even used it in small scripting needs to prep scripts and deploy code edits. The tool will be extended even further as new development tools integrate into the platform and apps like Web Journey allow it to “go online” and help retrieve information.

I have used tools like Leadscripts & Jasper to advance content creation for online needs. These tools help speed up the process (not replace) and helps do the work of many when the process is streamlined.

MEDIA & EDITING TOOLS
PRINTING INDUSTRY

I have a very good understanding of the printing industry.

I grew up in this industry. Running a 4color roland and 1/2 color AB Dick press in high school and through college.

It was in the 90s, and working in pre-press, I handled match printing, negative film, and even saw “stripping” procedures as Adobe’s digital tools eliminated this job.

The knowledge has always stayed with me, and I even helped a few print companies in Tampa with operational needs, web, workflow software setups, RIPs, and much more.

It’s this knowledge that has stayed and helped me with finding business and marketing solutions for companies that I would work with.

I’ve worked planning, coordinating tradeshow events and even designed booths of various sizes and needs.

I can help find reputable sources for SWAG giveaways. I have worked with many providers over the years.

I can access trade printer networks. Digital, Offset, Flexo,Web Printers.

Depending on the needs will determine what printer to use.

I have worked with mailer campaigns, EDDM, the USPS to send direct mail and worked with providers who have done it for us.

What does your business need?

I can help find quality providers so when you do decide to print any media, it comes across professional and compliments your branding.

The very first step is to get to know you, your business, what your needs are and how I can help.
