Overview

Life ends, but the impact goes beyond your life. You can affect others long after managing and leading them. The life experiences you have had that impacted, shaped, and honed you into the person you are today affect how you lead and manage your team, whether your team enjoys working with you, and whether you will become a thought leader. The process of making you who you are and the ever evolving you as a project manager and leader are one in the same; we don't behave in a vacuum at home and in community and then conduct a different kind of business at work. Our job is to unify and leverage these important, ubiquitous lessons, starting with: Nothing remains the same. The shoreline is always changing.

""In The Story in Your Head, How Life Experiences Prepare You for Leadership, Bob Vajgrt is truly a storyteller, in what is a seamless blend of personal autobiography and professional insight. Much as in a conversation with Bob over the years, he weaves personal and professional experience into the narrative with so much ease that the listener (or reader) doesn't realize the change in the topic until one is half way though the next paragraph. The personal insight is one of a person with focus on family, and professional advice is that of a mentor. And this is who Bob is, a caring person who shares his experience with the reader. This book is a worthwhile ""read"" with positivity, autobiography, storytelling and a lifetime of architectural project management perspective."" -Abie Khatchadourian, Architect and Principal, with 47 years of experience, including several national and global architectural firms. ""Bob Vajgrt taught me one of the most important tips of my professional career: how to turn my work email off on my phone when taking paid time off. As a Type A person who struggles not being available for everyone all the time, having your leader show you how to truly turn off work when you are off from work was life changing. With this simple strategy, Bob empowered his staff to fully embrace personal time and recognized that this is imperative to not only each person's mental and physical health, but to the success of our clients, firm, and project teams. This book is full of Bob's grounded, funny, and people-focused wisdom that will benefit people at all stages of their professional and personal lives."" -Kit Dailey, Engagement Specialist and Principal at a national architectural firm
