Being a Well Rounded Professional
As many of you know, I have a non-traditional background for someone engaged in senior management in business. When people find out that I have a PhD in history, they respond with either (or both) of the following reactions:
- ‘That is so cool!’
- ‘How did you get into this work?’
Several years ago, I got tired of answering the second question so often. So I wrote an article for the regional chapter of the Association of Proposal Management Professionals, the professional organization for my career. Entitled ‘From Historian to Proposal Professional,’ it detailed how I applied what I learned in academia to being successful in my job.
