Push for the Goal
When Gwen A. Grabowski’s manager mentioned he’d like to see team members pursue their PMP® certification, it was just the push Gwen needed to make her personal goal a reality. “I researched a lot of options, but I kept coming back to Cheetah,” she explains. “I liked the guarantee and the data that backed up their results.”
Gwen, a vice president/senior project manager in the finance industry in Minnesota, familiarized herself with The PMBOK® Guide – Third Edition, in addition to doing all the pre-work for Cheetah’s Exam Prep for the PMP® course. “I encourage anyone who signs up for the course to follow the plan to a tee. It was clear to me that Cheetah did the research and work to put together a winning program. All I had to do was follow instructions and work the plan.”
Even the best laid plans include challenges, though, and Gwen found her biggest one was overcoming her anxiety. “I had to trust that my results in class that week were real. My first baseline exam was not a passing score, but as the week progressed, I began passing the exams and feeling more confident. Cheetah teaches you how to track your way through the test, and that method put me in charge – and put my anxiety in the back seat.”
When your plan comes together and you reach your goal, the feeling of accomplishment is very satisfying. Gwen knows that feeling well and is now waiting to see what her
Project Management certification brings to her career. “The rest of the story is still to be written, but I know having the certification will open more doors for me.
“My role hasn’t changed for now, but the opportunities are there for the future, and I think being a PMP® will help bring those opportunities to fruition.”
Now that she’s reached her goal, Gwen is already encouraging others to do the same. “The Cheetah program works,” she says. “Cheetah runs the class like a project – there’s a plan, they follow it, and they execute efficiently. I’ve already recommended the class to people at my company. If time is money for you, and you want to know you are going to pass the
PMP® exam before you sit for it, sign up for a Cheetah
PMP® exam prep class.”
