Interview with Jeremiah Hammon, PMP - Program Manager
In This Episode:
In this episode, I interviewed Jeremiah Hammon, PMP, a Program Manager and Inspirator (My term - he inspires people) and a self-labelled type "A" personality! It was a great, inspiring conversation that flowed very well - it was hard to end the interview as we kept shifting to new, interesting, and applicable topics. We talked about the Why, Purpose, Micromanaging and much more.
Jerimiah proves that you can start as a punk rocker and eventually with confidence, hard work and a strong work ethic, become an excellent project/program manager - listen to learn more.
I look forward to having many more very interesting and mind-expanding conversations with Jerimiah in the future.
I met Jerimiah as I have met many exciting project management-related professionals on LinkedIn - make sure you check him out online.
