1 Define your goals

Before you can leverage your project leadership experience and network, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve in your career. Do you want to become a senior project manager, a program director, a consultant, or an entrepreneur? Do you want to specialize in a certain industry, domain, or methodology? Do you want to work locally, globally, or remotely? Having a vision for your career will help you identify the gaps, opportunities, and steps you need to take to get there.

One thing I have found helpful is to understand your WHY. Goal setting is crucial to a fulfilling career. The more you probe your WHY, the more you have a clearer picture of the next steps you need to take, the kind of skills you need to develop or hone and the amount of time needed to reach this goal.

2 Showcase your achievements

Your project leadership experience is a valuable asset that you should highlight in your resume, portfolio, and online profile. Use specific examples, metrics, and testimonials to demonstrate how you led successful projects, solved problems, delivered value, and managed stakeholders. Showcase your skills, knowledge, and competencies in project management, such as planning, budgeting, risk management, communication, and collaboration. Use keywords and phrases that match the requirements and expectations of your target roles and employers.

3 Build your network

Your project leadership network is a powerful resource that can help you find new opportunities, learn new skills, and get support and feedback. Your network can include your current and former project team members, sponsors, clients, vendors, mentors, peers, and industry experts. To build and maintain your network, you need to be proactive, generous, and authentic. Reach out to people who share your interests, goals, and values. Offer your help, advice, and referrals. Engage in online and offline communities and events related to project management. Be respectful, courteous, and professional in your interactions.

4 Learn and adapt

Project leadership is a dynamic and evolving field that requires constant learning and adaptation. To leverage your project leadership experience and network, you need to stay updated on the latest trends, best practices, and innovations in project management. You also need to seek feedback, reflect on your performance, and identify areas for improvement. Invest in your professional development by taking courses, certifications, webinars, podcasts, or books related to project management. Seek mentors, coaches, or peers who can challenge you, inspire you, and help you grow.

5 Seek opportunities

Finally, to leverage your project leadership experience and network, you need to seek and create opportunities that align with your goals and interests. Don't wait for opportunities to come to you, but actively look for them in your current or potential organizations, industries, or markets. Use your network to discover hidden or emerging opportunities that match your skills and experience. Apply for roles or projects that challenge you, stretch you, and allow you to make an impact. Be confident, prepared, and enthusiastic in your applications and interviews.

Education and certification combined with experience will certainly create and help seize opportunities. A portfolio is a collection of your project management work that showcases skills, achievements, and potential. I will use my portfolio to interest employers and stand out as a candidate.
