Do you have the necessary skillsets that your employer expects you to have for fulfilling your responsibilities and delivering outstanding results in your projects?

Do you know how to show the value of your contributions and become visible in the "eyes" of your management and stakeholders?

Are you connected to the right experts, advisors, coaches, and mentors for professional guidance in your career?

If your answer to any of the above questions is a NO, you are not alone!

You probably already know that most project professionals don’t have the right skillsets, visibility, and a trusted network for growing their careers to new heights.

Like many project professionals, you have probably tried to figure things out on your own. Perhaps, you: 

☑️ Outlined what action steps to take to overcome some of the challenges you face in your project or company.

☑️ Had to spend countless hours searching for reliable resources, tools, or expert guidance because you were expected to "know your role".

☑️ Had to invest in your own professional development because your company would neither provide internal training and mentorship nor pay for your training externally.

☑️ Had a hard time linking theory to practice and therefore relied on your experience gained from your workplace.

☑️ Sent connection requests to some experts on LinkedIn, waiting for their response with the hope that they'd mentor you and provide the guidance you expect.

If you're super committed, maybe you even joined some relevant online forums or attended a couple of your favorite professional association's meetings to assure yourself that you're on the right path for achieving success in your career.

But even with the best intentions, most project professionals end up abandoning their career goals, getting back to their comfort zones, and remaining sidelined!

Doubts. Knowledge gaps. No direct access to trusted experts and thought leaders. Lack of clarity. Relentless distractions. Too many projects and responsibilities. Confusion about new tools and technologies. Challenging and demanding stakeholders. Lack of effective communication and coordination.

You battle these struggles every day in your career. Unfortunately, these struggles can lead to feeling lost, wasted resources, demotivation, conflicts, and frustration. Faced with these struggles, it's no wonder why so many project professionals burn out far short of achieving their career dreams.

On the other hand, you want to figure out how to perform your job more effectively, stay competitive, boost your influence, and thrive in this highly competitive working environment.

You want to highlight your worth and contribution to your company and clients.

You want to make yourself highly visible as a subject matter expert.

And you want to not only lead your projects to successful completion but also have the right career moves to the next level.

We understand!

The good news is that you can win the battle and fulfill your career desires.

We’ll start with these eight segments. But the EP²IC architecture will evolve as we learn more about the diverse characteristics, interests, and needs of our EP²IC members. So, in terms of future vision, we're just getting started!

At Project Control Academy, we enjoy pushing the boundaries, being ourselves, and responding to the needs of our community. That mentality led us to imagine an exceptional community experience for EP²IC.

Here are several unique points about this program that you wouldn't find in the industry:

➡️ Designed with you and your growth in mind: What we bring to you in EP²IC is not comparable to any other membership program or community you’ve been part of. We have designed the EP²IC program so that it fulfills your needs, helps you overcome the struggles you experience in your projects and career, and empowers you to accelerate your personal and professional growth to new heights.

➡️ Direct support and guidance: With the direct and practical support and guidance that you receive from the EPPIC experts, thought leaders, and fellow members, you won't feel lonely on your journey to excellence.

➡️ Professional mastermind: In EP²IC, we go above and beyond regular dry networking. We allow the members to join special mastermind sessions in small groups that can do wonders for them. Highly successful people pay tens of thousands of dollars to be part of masterminds. In EP²IC, you get it as part of your membership. This unique opportunity can pay dividends over time if you leverage it properly. We will provide you guidance on how to benefit from joining an Epic Mastermind highly.
