Christina has previously joined me to talk about topics such as goal setting and lessons learned AND carries both LSSBB and PMP® certifications. We also have Kelly joining us, who has a serious interest in pursuing certification to enhance her career in urban planning but has questions about which one she should invest in. What better way to learn about both certifications than to hear from someone who has both. Kelly will be taking the hosting duties from me as we cover the following topics:
