PMI LA Mentorship Program Testimonials 🎉

All my mentees had an idea what they actually wanted. It took a bit of exploring and sometimes asking personal questions to try to understand the motives and how those motives were playing into the goal they set for themselves. Fortunately, revisiting the goals constantly was also part of the process and it helped a lot with shaping their experience…I enjoyed sharing what I have learned and experienced more this time than in my previous mentorship seasons. As funny this sounds, I reflected on some of my mentees' experience and drew parallels with them, and it helped me navigate situations in a more fruitful way.

Andres Salazar Milano | 2024 Mentor

The PMI LA Mentorship Program has been a transformative experience in my journey toward earning my PMP® certification—and I'm thrilled to share that I passed the exam on January 17, 2025! The impact of this experience extends beyond certification—it has strengthened my leadership mindset, enhanced my ability to deliver and maximize business value, and refined my approach to stakeholder engagement, adaptability, and continuous improvement. The PMI LA Mentorship Program truly delivers on its promise to empower project managers, provide mentorship, and drive career advancement

Alexandra Hunt | 2024 Mentee

Participating in the PMI LA Mentorship Program was a fantastic experience for me as both a mentee and mentor. I had the opportunity to get an outside perspective as I navigated a new role and the honor of sharing some of my hard-won knowledge with others who are earlier in their journey in the field of project management. I even learned a few things about myself as I revisited past experiences and shared some laughs over the evergreen challenges of our industry. It was a great experience overall!
