PMI MULTI-CHAPTER WEBINAR

Topic: MULTI-CHAPTER WEBINAR: "Lessons learned from a US Marine turned PM" with Russell Parker, PMP

Time: Aug 14, 2025 9AM - 10AM Hawaii Time

Host Chapter: PMI-LA

Session Description:

In this engaging and insightful session, Russ Parker shares lessons from his career as a U.S. Marine Corps officer and how those experiences laid the foundation for success in project management. The presentation offers a dual perspective: first, it highlights how military personnel—often unknowingly—develop core competencies aligned with project management; second, it provides civilian project managers with a deeper appreciation for the structured, mission-driven skill set veterans bring to the profession. Attendees will walk away with a greater understanding of leadership, risk management, and project execution from a military lens—and how those concepts translate seamlessly into civilian project environments.

Learning Objectives

Discover how risk management principles in the U.S. Military align with project risk management practices in the civilian sector.
Understand how project management skills are developed organically throughout a military career.
Learn how military training and experience can be effectively translated into recognized project management competencies.
