Hi, I’m Ryan – The Right-Brained Project Manager

Thank you so much for visiting!

Welcome to your resource for project management and project leadership simplified (you and I own this thing together). And as a bonus: project management made applicable and even fun! I’m so pumped to see what we can teach each other.

Have you ever felt a little lost in that project management chaos? Felt like you were wearing too many hats? Or felt a little incompetent on the best way to lead your team? I’ve been there too.

Project Management Done Different

I’ve also always felt this inner struggle between my left-brain (logical side) and my right-brain (creative side). I’ve looked for ways to combine those in my project management style. At Right-Brained Project Management I attempt to address project management with more of a creative approach. I really believe a picture is worth a thousand words. Some of us just learn better with visuals rather than lines and lines of text.

Here I hope you will find:

  • Project management and leadership taught in a visual way
  • Visual-heavy templates you can use TODAY
  • Great visuals that teach quickly and effectively
  • Other resources and great posts to help you up your game

So take a look around and see the sites!

I’d love to get to know you, get your feedback, and find out better ways I can serve you. Leave me comments! I know together we can help build each other up and build something amazing in the process.

A Little About Me

C•R•E•A•T•I•V•I•T•Y Since I was a wee tike I’ve loved being creative.
I’ve come a long way from those childhood doodles. Along the way I’ve found creativity in a lot of unexpected places, including team leadership and even project management. Gasp!

I’ve lead various project teams over the past 10 years. I’ve primarily worked in the media and now the technology sector. If you’re interested in my professional work you can check out my portfolio.

First and foremost I am a husband and a father. My beautiful wife, our four amazing children and I live in Utah, born and raised. We love all things Disney! Trying to figure out a way to feed that ridiculous addiction is a favorite pastime of ours. (insert money flying out window emoticon)

I’m a self-proclaimed foodie, runner, and geek. If you are too we need to talk. My latest geeky-guilty pleasure is board games. I’ve bought around 20 over the last couple of years and will likely keep increasing the collection.

My most recent favorites are Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, and Terraforming Mars. All amazing games for you fellow board game geeks. I think I’m drawn to board games because of the project management skills involved in many of them.

Well, there’s a little about me, I’d love to get to know you as well. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter, LinkedIn or shoot me an email (ryan@rightbrainedpm.com).
