« In my journey with PMI-Montréal, the most defining moment was the creation of the Relève Committee after a year of preparation and consultations with the permanent staff and the Board of Directors. I was able to turn an idea into reality thanks to a dedicated team. Having started as an event volunteer during the 2023 Symposium, I quickly realized the importance of PMI-Montréal in both my personal and professional development. The idea of making PMI-Montréal's services accessible to the next generation facing the same challenges I did at the time is particularly close to my heart. »

« Having been settled in Montréal for over a year, I had the opportunity to lead an ambitious business transformation project, where change management plays a crucial role in the success of initiatives. This challenge allowed me to grasp the importance of adaptation and support in constantly evolving environments. I still vividly recall the moment I attended the conference organized by PMI-Montréal, Burnout Due to Change: Endure or Prevent. It was an incredibly enriching experience that provided me with valuable insights on how to approach transformations without merely enduring them.»

David Brazeau delivered PMP training at PMI-Montréal for 28 years, concluding his tenure in 2024. What does he take away from his experience as a trainer? A rich exchange blending knowledge transfer and learning. Each group consisted of participants from various organizations, each with distinct objectives—experienced project managers needing certification required by their company, young professionals eager to stand out, and individuals seeking employment or transitioning careers, aiming to obtain a certification to facilitate their return to the job market.
This experience allowed him to engage with professionals from diverse sectors, each with unique expertise, providing him with a broader understanding of project management practices elsewhere. Both challenging and rewarding, this openness to new approaches fosters constructive reflection and paves the way for the continuous improvement of practices leading to excellence. Thanks to the training offered at PMI-Montréal, the perception of this profession has evolved, transforming from a discipline sometimes underestimated into a fully recognized profession.
