Muffler and Associates, Inc. (MAI), Ruthi’s project management consulting company is a Registered Education Provider (R.E.P. – which is a Project Management Institute designation for training project management classes). As a result, Ruthi has access to a lot of RFPs (Requests for Proposals) for trainers. With the end of her DoD contract, Ruthi has been responding to some of them (12 last Fall and 4 so far this year). Even though there aren’t any contracts yet, she has established some contacts here in the lower 48 states and is hopeful of work coming down the path.
Ruthi with the able assistance from an old Alaskan friend’s audio/video company (Perfectly Made, Inc.) is creating a web-based class to sell to individuals (or companies) from the MAI web site (MAI-PMC.COM). Just the process with the engineer helps Ruthi to better organize the delivery of the material. Once the practice runs are completed, the voice recording will be accomplished in a “real” studio to avoid the sounds associated with the RV location (Karma barking, Boots’ phone ringing, etc.). So, Ruthi is busy writing the script to minimize the “ums” and “duhs” breaks in the delivery.
