We don’t shy away from hard discussions and today is no different. This week, I’m adding a new discussion I had with member, Holly Knolls of The Consult Code and we turned it into an on-demand course inside the Women Of Project Management Membership, ‘Allies In The Workplace: An Honest Conversation.’ This year, racial injustice has been at an all time high and explaining the plight of black women has been …well, Exhausting! But this conversation is a beautiful example of two women, who understand this industry, being open & honest and creating space to discuss race in the workplace and how to be an ally. We swap war stories, giggles, but most of all, we respect each other’s perspectives and have some tough conversations.  This year, this community, these conversations have showed me —when we share our experiences, that’s when the real healing begins. About Holly. Holly Knoll has spent over 20 years in the program management industry. After starting her career as a software developer, Holly quickly realized her superpowers resided in bringing people together to solve complex problems and deliver technology solutions. Holly has since implemented complex technology programs and has built PMOs at companies like Accenture, Target, and Sephora. The Consultant Code. In 2015, Holly decided to exit corporate America and start a freelance consulting business, which she scaled to a high six-figure business. She now helps other mid-career women do the same, in 60 days or less, through her digital course The Consultant Code. Work/Life Balance. When Holly is not helping her clients achieve career freedom, she is planning her next international travel adventure, reading spy novels, or concocting a new green smoothie recipe. Listen Up!
