4 weeks of funemployment coming up, any suggestions of what to do other than travel? Thinking of course in agile or PMP (currently in strategy but moving to change management) but pricy and not really restful. Would love other peoples ideas!

Maybe a totally l not work related project! Probably a little too large a scope for your four weeks but I restored a boat last fall and was unbelievably rewarding feeling

Something non-work related. Build a foundation for exercise routine, start a new language, try a new restaurant every night, play all the video games you want, etc. just do something for you... you’ve earned it

If you're going into change management, presuming IT change management, do an ITIL cert. PM, and certainly agile, courses will be of little value.
If going into org change management none of these will really help though PM more than any others I've listed.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city.

A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
