    Apr 14 2024
    Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills Hey, IMPACT Driver! Did you know that currently only 26.7% of tech jobs are filled by women? The majority of those are entry-level positions, which means an even smaller percentage of women are in leadership roles in the industry. All too often, women find themselves struggling to balance personal and professional demands, lacking the necessary support to thrive in their careers. I know this all too well, spending many of my earlier years working in PMOs and building my company as a single mom! Some would say that the odds are stacked against women in the workplace, but I’m not OK with that. What can we do to fix this problem and give everyone the support they need to thrive in the workplace? In this episode, IMPACT Summit speaker and a Certified Enterprise Agile Coach (CEC) with the Scrum Alliance, Apriel Biggs, and I will have an honest conversation about women in project leadership. She will share empowering insights from her career that will help you overcome any setbacks you may face in the professional world. This podcast episode isn’t only for women! It’s for anyone who wants to create opportunities for their teams to thrive. In fact, you might be surprised by what I share regarding how I was treated in the workplace by men and women. Check it out now. Enjoy! Connect with Apriel Biggs Find Apriel Biggs in LinkedIn P.S. International PMO Day is just around the corner. That's right, on Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, we'll be celebrating the vital role that Project Management Offices play in organizations across the globe.

    249: Is Project Failure OK?
    Mar 31 2024
    Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen Hey, IMPACT Driver! What if I told you that failure could be the key to your PMO's long-term success? It may sound counterintuitive, but in this episode, I'm sharing the surprising benefits of embracing failure in project management. You'll learn why I challenge the conventional wisdom that failure is something to avoid at all costs. Instead, you can look at this as a strategic opportunity to address some of your toughest challenges (can we say there's never enough resources?) and position you, IMPACT Driver, to be the strategic business partner your C-Suite is looking for. Listen now and discover how embracing failure could be the game-changer your PMO needs. Happy listening! P.S. The IMPACT Engine book is coming soon. Make sure you're staying connected to our newsletters for a very early sneak peek into the book, plus some other surprises I have in store only for our subscribers!
