A Question About Program Management

I have been somehow successfully managing all types of programs on and off for years. I never have time to sit down and learn why whatever it is I do works (or why not). I figure that it's about time I learned to use the great tools out there and stop screwing around with my own system. This will help me personally as well as professionally. Thus, I thought I would put out to you wise folks for advice on the best way to do this. I'd like to become a conscious competent rather than continue in my unconscious state. If anyone has a suggestion for a great course or program for someone starting out - that's probably where I ought to start. And I will sincerely appreciate any feedback.

This app has a free 1-1 coaching feature that may be helpful. I tried this app called BUNCH that gives you 2-min daily tips on topics like communication, feedback, and resolving conflicts at work. I thought you might like it too: https://coach.bunch.ai/invite/candice-jurick
Not sure if you've gone through a hiring process recently but looking up some lists of behavioral interview questions and then writing down and organizing some of the categories of programs and lessons learned you find authentic might be a good place to start (e.g. see competencies column on behavioral tab here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q5MYDpjC4K66V9bZfUjxsGODxmfo3OixkpHiku4HZyA/edit#gid=423327579 ) I haven't found any particular tools to be more powerful than a table / blank page and some self-reflection but I'd love to learn from others that have too. Good luck!
