Blessing Kachidza, EMBA
Available to mentor
My project management journey has been one of continuous learning and growth, spanning over 10 years. I've had the privilege of working across diverse sectors, from the precise world of land surveying and demining operations to the complexities of construction and environmental projects. This journey has taken me from Zimbabwe to the UK and the Falkland Islands, each experience enriching my understanding of project dynamics in different cultural contexts. Â My foundation lies in a BSc (Hons) in Surveying and Geomatics, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for spatial data and its power in driving informed decisions. Earning my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification solidified my commitment to adhering to the highest standards of project management practice. And now, as I delve into the world of business through my Executive MBA, I'm gaining a broader perspective on leadership and strategic decision-making. Â Over the years, I've come to realize that successful project management is more than just delivering on time and within budget. It's about fostering collaboration, navigating challenges with resilience, and empowering teams to achieve their full potential. I believe in leading by example, inspiring my teams with clear communication, decisive action, and a passion for excellence. Â I'm always eager to share my knowledge and experiences, to guide aspiring project managers on their own journeys. Whether it's unraveling the intricacies of project planning, navigating the complexities of stakeholder management, or fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, I find immense satisfaction in helping others grow and succeed. Â The world of project management is dynamic and ever-evolving. I believe in continuous learning, constantly seeking new knowledge and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. It's a journey I'm passionate about, and I'm excited to share my insights and experiences with those who are eager to make their mark in this field.
