It has been a great career and lifetime experience with PMI for me. I say lifetime as I am still carrying on with my PMI knowledge and experience at 62. I have been a professional contributor for 20 years, volunteer contributor for 3 years, a Corporate trainer for 8 years and still hoping to contribute as long as I work. I can say so many of my exective students still recognise me because of my PMI knowledge.
As once a PMI REP asked me are you king maker?, I can confidently say PMI is and I only speak and advice as per PMBOK.
