S2. Ep 1. In conversation with Shanell Johnson, an experienced Senior Project Leader working within the government
Description
In this episode I am joined by Shanell Johnson, an
experienced Senior Project Leader working within the government, including looking after the Houses of Parliament after starting as a sandwich student and
working her way up.
We talk about the changes she saw during her time whilst
working at the Houses of Parliament. Both in terms of to the building itself, where parts of it are over 1,000 years old, and the breaking down of barriers in the way people worked and related to each other.
We discuss the how important it is to take a chance and see where it can take you and for Shanell that was working on some incredible projects during her time at the Houses of Parliament which she goes in to.
We cover the need for collaboration and open conversations whilst understanding the end goal and separating this from people’s personal agenda and layering in understanding the historical setting. Plus, how to manage a project, irrespective of the nature of it, and talk about some of the ways to ensure it is a success especially when you are dealing with a historical building.
It will be an interesting listen for anyone embarking on a
project and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
