WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I was looking to work with someone to help enhance my business’s project management framework, and was recommended Karine. I wasn’t disappointed! My challenge involved a pre-existing and highly customised program which needed a bit of an overhaul and even further customisation. What I liked about Karine from the onset, and the reason I was keen to work with her, was that she invested a lot of time early on to listen to my needs and that of my business. She did well not to impose her views and solutions too early, but rather, we worked together on developing an enhanced framework that is fit for our particular needs. It’s been a pleasure working with Karine and I look forward to continuing our working relationship into the future.

Karine is a ball of enthusiasm and positive energy that would light up any project she engages with. During the six months during which I was fortunate to receive mentoring from Karine, I found her to be attentive, generous and patient, as well as pushing me to challenge my assumptions and habits and to drive forward for better results. I am very grateful for the time, knowledge and resources that Karine shared with me, she has provided a great boost for me in my new career as a Project Manager. I can recommend Karine highly to anyone who is considering engaging her as a trainer or practitioner on any project.

Karine is an excellent mentor and I got a lot out of it. Karine helped me to set mentoring objectives, and work through options and solutions in a very easy and logical way. And overall Karine has helped me improve myself over the period. 6 stars out of 5!

Karine is a knowledgeable project management subject matter expert, who has packaged a practical project management course that is especially useful for managers with no formal project management training. She is also a lively presenter, projecting an infectious enthusiasm that makes a pleasure to be practicing in the course.
Carole-AnneDirector, KEY ADMINISTRATION SOLUTIONS
Karine is a natural trainer, as myself a teacher as well, her training style and method was to the point and very precise. She understands what the industry is looking for and also the training participants needs, the areas where they need training and focused effort to make it a habit. She had a very focused approach during the training. I strongly recommend her for the Project Management trainings.

I inherited a programme of work that was going nowhere and didn't have buy-in from our stakeholders. I brought in Karine from Projecting with People who took over, provided direction and got engagement from our stakeholders. Amongst others, she worked with our depot staff to demonstrate the benefits to them in a language and pace to enhance adoption. The project delivered on time and budget and our stakeholders were delighted.
JohnHead of IM, METRO TRAINS
I have learnt a lot more on project delivery especially on methodology. I have included some elements such as a communication plan or progress spreadsheet in my projects that enables me to effectively track task. Also, I have a better understanding of the whole project delivery process and understood the critical role of the asking the simple question "why". Last but not least, I have also a better understanding of what are the expectations of my role, as a Junior PM I was not quiet sure but now from the training and a little bit more of experience within the company, I understand my role and am better prepared to meet the expectations.

Engaging delivery! Karine is lovely to work with and the lessons I have learnt from her will benefit me for years to come. I feel better equipped with the next project when it kicks off.
JustineCOURSE PARTICIPANT
This training improved my thought process and approach while working in project base environment. It has helped me to self-reflect a lot. I know that even if I do not have technical skills, just asking the right questions will still give me the ability to deliver. I also definitely feel a bit more confident thanks to all the PM tools that was introduced during the training and also by my sponsor and mentor.
KellyCourse Participant
I have a better understanding of project pain points which will enable me to confidently talk with the project stakeholders. - Once the project motives are clear this gives confidence to execute the deliverables more confidently.
AdrianCourse Participant
I have always struggled with knowing who initiates the project and the different roles on projects. The training has helped with to be clear on who should do what by using the RACI template. I especially feel much clearer on the role of a sponsor, the project resources, and the stakeholders.
DeanCourse Participant
Projecting with People worked with our executive & senior leadership teams to implement a POD agile delivery program. This engagement was pivotal in obtaining senior leadership endorsement, stakeholder adoption and our teams engagement in the midst of a restructure. As a result of the extensive cross-level and cross-functional collaboration, the new delivery model achieved BAU operational success while meeting the business demands of our key stakeholders. Of the many successes, the highlights include converting our most challenging stakeholder into an advocate, an innovation initiative providing continuous operating improvement, new upskilling opportunities and a collaborative team. Not an easy assignment so it’s worth saying that Karine is a magician with people management! I would highly recommend her services.
