Our mission is to simplify the process of pivoting into project management, while gaining the agility necessary to thrive in the field.
We accomplish our mission by establishing 'communities of practice' where we can share knowledge through personal storytelling that is based on real-life experience. The members share mistakes, successes and learnings, while contemplating new ideas and solving problems together.
Our commitment to excellence and responsive learning, which is embedded into programs like The Project Pivot, yields the highest value in terms of education, engagement, and support.

Who is Sherri Long?
Greetings and welcome!
I manage change and facilitate learning.
I discovered at a young age that I was pretty good at helping people grow. It started with my younger sister and has since blossomed to learners of all ages, including those seeking to make life-changing decisions about their careers, health, and educational planning.
My family and I were fortunate enough to plan and execute a pivotal life experience that involved moving overseas to teach internationally for several years. Living in the beautiful countries of the UAE and Qatar provided priceless experiences with new networks and countless development opportunities within breathtaking backdrops.
After 20 years in education, I decided to shift my direction a bit and apply my training to managing projects in a more official capacity.
I enjoy managing all types of projects (both in tech and education) remotely now, leading a team of motivated individuals as they contribute value to their own projects. My business partner and I hope to build a community of capable and confident project professionals who are all prepared for success.
Feel free to book a 15-min discovery call if you would like to discuss your own scope of possibilities.
