Case studies

In the words of my Clients

Firefighting PM

“I was worried I was just an extra layer”

Emily knew the theory. The problem was that she was living inside the delivery detail & could not get far enough back to see what she was actually for.

  • More objective, less emotionally tied to every challenge
  • Clear on what is & is not in her control
  • Communication tools she can actually use
“I have moved from knowing what good project management looks like in theory, to having greater confidence in how to actually embody it in practice.”

“I was making it up as I go along”

Farida’s directors chose BuiltWell, paid for it, & got back someone measurably more capable within weeks rather than at the end. By week 7 she was asking how to cultivate the behaviour work across a whole team.

  • Wellbeing practice built into the day to day
  • Tangible takeaways used straight away
“I found it quite tricky navigating all the courses available trying to find the right course for me.”

“I escalated everything, because nobody had shown me where my authority stopped”

Serina was early in her career & had already been dropped into high intensity projects. What she got was a way of running a project from above it rather than inside it.

  • Builds rapport so relationships stay collaborative
  • Audits every conversation, however small
“A known unknown is better than an unknown known.”

“I was leading projects in a very informal & slightly chaotic way”

Molly ran projects for a living & had never once been called a Project Manager. She rated her confidence at 5 out of 10 when she started, & arrived carrying rather more than a skills gap.

Molly PriceEditor & founder, Molly Price Editorial
Since finishing
  • Confidence at an all time high
  • Asks the important questions at the start
  • Runs meetings rather than attending them
“I have already made huge changes to the way I do things!”

“I have 15 years of experience. What could a course teach me?”

Loreen rated her confidence at 8 out of 10 & her job satisfaction at 6. She was not short of confidence. She was short of the right language to confidently be seen as a Project Manager.

Loreen Fraser-OwusuService Delivery Lead & Global Head of Comms
Since finishing
  • Rewrote her CV & rebuilt her LinkedIn
  • Can articulate her capability as a PM professional
  • In her words: I have finally eaten the frog
“It was like having a personal coach for two months.”

“My previous company made me feel like I was too soft to be senior”

Three & a half years in, Laura still could not have told you what kind of Project Manager she was. She heard Rachael speak at the APM Women’s Conference & signed up because the leadership & wellbeing content matched what she had actually lived through.

Laura BrettiProject Manager
Since finishing
  • Asked to write for the APM
  • Invited to Japan for a product launch
  • Bought 8 Advanced modules
“My commitment & dedication to a project is my strength, not my weakness.”
