Hello! Are there any project managers based in London around? I’d really love your input on how to run a pitch. Is there anything basic I should know? I’ve never led one before and I’m feeling quite nervous. It’s a regional pitch and I’ll be working with the CEO and other senior people.

Also, English isn’t my first language, so sometimes I worry I’m not expressing myself as clearly as I’d like. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

- Create a project plan, ASAP.
- RACI can be helpful.
- Make sure it is clear how content is reviewed and approved is clearly articulated.
- Schedule regular status meetings.
- Make sure there is a document repository - otherwise a document that’s critically needed will be on someone’s hard drive.

Project management is universal. 🌍 Just so you know. The same way US companies work with teams in London & India. It might be minor tweaks in the onboarding. Same way PMs work remotely.
