PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills



Everyone talks about PMO frameworks. We’re talking about the humans behind them.

If your playbook starts with process instead of people, you're skipping the most important part of the work: understanding how your organization really functions—politically, emotionally, and psychologically.

In this episode, I’m joined by Brandy Brown, one of our incredible IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind students, an enterprise PMO leader and organizational strategist with a background in industrial/organizational psychology. Brandy brings a human-centered approach to strategy and change, with a strong track record of driving sustainable results across complex organizations.

We explore what actually creates traction when you're standing up or evolving a PMO. It’s not flashy launches or heavyweight governance. It’s sponsorship that challenges you, credibility built on quick wins, and a strategic approach to human behavior inside complex organizations.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or working within an established EPMO, this episode gives you the perspective, tools, and mindset to lead real transformation.

What You'll Learn:

• Why understanding human behavior is a PMO essential, not a bonus
• How Brandy used sponsorship to create traction and accountability
• The psychology behind quick wins and credibility loops
• How to design collaboration that builds pull (not push)
• What it means to lead with empathy inside political organizations

👉 Press play to learn how to build a trust-first PMO that actually sticks.

PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills



You don’t prove your leadership by taking on everything yourself. You prove it by creating space, enabling others, and delivering results that last.

In this episode, I’m calling out the hidden cost of wearing “busy” like a badge—and why so many high-performing leaders quietly hold themselves back by refusing to ask for help.

We’ll talk about how the lone hero mindset sabotages your growth, what real executive-level leadership looks like, and how to shift from doing the work…to leading the work.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ve got it,” when what you really need is a team beside you—this conversation is for you.

What You'll Learn:

• Why doing it all yourself isn’t sustainable—or strategic
• How the lone hero mindset blocks your growth
• A real-world story of shared ownership that changed everything
• What top executives understand about asking for help
• How to build trust, increase clarity, and lead through others

👉 Press play to learn how to stop doing it all alone—and start leading like an executive.
