About Haja.

Haja's career as a project manager has evolved over the last 16 years. Having started at the ripe age of 24, Haja did not have the confidence (nor education) to thrive in this field - or so her #impostersyndrome told her.

Haja did in fact thrive in this field moving into a senior level project manager role in well renowned companies including Progressive Insurance, Vitamix, Farmers Insurance, Dole Foods and PNC Bank. She has also supported the Cleveland GiveCamp annual initiative to provide IT services to Non-Profit organizations during a 72 hour weekend project culminating in the completion of databases, websites and other technical system implementations.

Background.

Haja obtained a Bachelors degree in Business Administration graduating with honors from Hiram College in Northeast Ohio. She later obtained her PMP (Project Management Professional) a globally recognized certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI).

While achievements ran high, Haja still believed she had not earned her place. In an effort to manage her imposter syndrome, Haja became a certified positive psychology practitioner to not only manage her personal imposter thoughts but also to assist her clients and colleagues with managing theirs.

Mindset Coaching & PM Training.

Haja is working as a project management consultant while also managing her mindset coaching & project management training business for women. Through engagement and mindset practices she helps women address and conquer their #impostersyndrome so they may better serve their families and organizations. She helps women realize they are Deserving!
