MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hey, there! I’m Adriana Girdler.

I’m all about making things happen in project management, productivity, and efficiency. With over two decades of experience in project management, I’ve pretty much seen and done it all!

Which means: I know exactly what you’re going through as a project manager. The pressure, stress, lack of confidence, and feeling out of control? I’ve been there, too.

That’s why I launched the SLAY Project Management Course: to help new and experienced project managers build the skills they need to go from sinking to swimming laps.

Drawing on my real world experience, plus PMP certification, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, and Certified Engineering Technologist credential, I created SLAY Project Management to be useful from day one, something you’ll come back to and reference for life.

What project manager headaches does SLAY Project Management solve?

Adriana Girdler, CET, PMP, brings over two decades of hands-on project expertise into SLAY, which teaches practical, proven processes – as well as the interpersonal skills to navigate often tricky project team dynamics. With SLAY you get grab-and-go templates as well as step-by-step video lessons so you can finally banish these common headaches: 

Scope creep and shifting requirements: Constantly chasing changing deliverables, without a clear process to lock down and communicate what’s in (and out) of scope. 
Unclear roles, responsibilities & accountability: Team members aren’t sure who owns which tasks, leading to work falling through the cracks or duplicated effort. 
Poor stakeholder alignment & engagement: Sponsors and key stakeholders drop in late or change priorities on the fly, because they never had a structured way to stay informed and committed. 
Ineffective communication channels: Too much back-and-forth email, missed messages, and ambiguous status updates, where everyone ends up working with outdated information. 
Budget overruns & cost uncertainty: Without straightforward estimating and tracking tools, costs spiral and you can’t clearly show where the money is going. 
Schedule delays & unrealistic timelines: 
Tasks slip, dependencies aren’t managed, and there’s no simple framework for building and keeping a realistic project plan. 
Resource constraints & overallocation: Juggling who’s available and when, without a clear method for leveling workload or bringing in the right help at the right time. 
Risk blind spots & reactive firefighting: Risks aren’t identified up front, and you spend most of your time putting out flames instead of proactive mitigation. 
Change control chaos: Every little change request derails the team because there’s no streamlined process for capturing, evaluating, and approving changes. 
Fragmented documentation & missing templates: No single source of truth for project documents and no ready-to-use templates so you waste hours reinventing the wheel. 
Team conflict & low morale: Personality clashes, unclear expectations, and no consistent approach to addressing the interpersonal issues that undermine productivity. 
Burnout & lack of confidence: Feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities, uncertain about best practices, and lacking the confidence to lead decisively. 
Difficulty demonstrating value: Difficulty showing progress and ROI to executives because you don’t have concise metrics or proven reporting structures. 
Lack of practical, real-world guidance: Despite all the theory at your fingertips, you need step-by-step instruction and practical examples drawn from years of hands-on consulting. 

SLAY’s self-guided or PRO option (which adds live drop in virtual office hours, AI-powered template tools, and monthly trainings), systematically addresses each of these headaches through actionable templates, clear processes, and real-world examples. With SLAY you’ll quickly shift into confidently delivering predictable, repeatable results every time. So enroll now in the SLAY Project Management Course.
