Acknowledgments

I would like to thank some of the very inspiring PMs I met in the process of writing and publicizing this book. Elizabeth Harrin interviewed me for several of her well-known blogs, including A Girl’s Guide to Project Management. I’ve also had the pleasure of doing six podcast interviews with Cornelius Fichtner for The Project Management Podcast and The PDU Podcast.

I would also like to thank the other great people who interviewed me about the book and PMP® training: Soma Bhattacharya, Christina Boryk, Kimberley Chan, Henry Will III, Russell Sarder, and GovLoop. I thank Amy Goretsky and the PMI Bookstore, who reviewed the book, and the many readers who wrote customer reviews on Amazon.com and who “liked” my book’s fan page on Facebook.

I would especially like to thank Andy Crowe for all I learned from his excellent books, which I have been teaching from for many years. And thanks again, Andy, for taking the time to write the Foreword!

A big thanks to my editor, David Stockhoff, at Management Concepts Press, for his very sharp insights and many excellent suggestions.

And a special thanks to my wife, Martha Garvey, who inspires by her writing and her example.
