This week we talk about how to be an expert (or how to not suck) through continuous improvement.  Second, we chat about how a holiday gift stimulated one project manager to recommit herself to improving her relationships through improved communication skills.

Note:  We are going to try to keep episodes shorter from now on, around the 10-15 minute range.  If you have feedback, send us an email!

Leave a comment – what do you think about the expert vs competent practitioner question and the 10,000 hour rule?
