Pivoting Into Project Management

This webinar includes one live session with Q&A and the on-demand recording; 1 bonus resource; and a certificate.

Administrative professionals are natural project managers—balancing priorities, coordinating tasks, and ensuring seamless operations. However, many admins don’t realize that their skill set aligns perfectly with project management. This webinar will explore how administrative professionals can successfully transition into project management roles, providing clarity on career paths, essential skills, and certification options. Attendees will learn how to leverage their existing experience to pursue new opportunities, increase their earning potential, and expand their professional impact. Whether you’re looking to enhance your current role or make a full career shift, this session will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to pivot effectively. 

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Identify transferable administrative skills that align with project management.
• Understand key project management methodologies and how they apply to administrative roles.
• Explore career pathways, certifications, and job market trends in project management.
• Develop an action plan for transitioning into project management with confidence. 

Who Will Benefit?

This webinar is ideal for administrative professionals at all levels—whether you're an entry-level admin looking to expand your career options, an experienced executive assistant seeking to formalize your project management skills, or an admin professional eager to boost your expertise and earning potential. If you manage tasks, timelines, and stakeholders, this session will show you how to leverage those skills to transition into a project management role successfully. 

Level of Difficulty/Prerequisites:

No prior project management experience is required for this session, but attendees will benefit from a basic understanding of administrative functions such as scheduling, task coordination, and stakeholder communication. Familiarity with common office tools like Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, or task management software (e.g., Trello, Asana) is helpful but not necessary. No special software is required to follow along—just bring a willingness to learn and explore how your existing skills align with project management principles.
