PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills
Hi IMPACT Driver!
In our latest podcast episode, I sit down with Andrea Elkin, who shares her incredible journey from being a junior team member with no project management experience to leading a highly successful PMO.
Highlighted in my book, The IMPACT Engine, Andrea’s story is a testament to the power of a can-do attitude and willingness to learn. 
Andrea was chosen by her CEO to establish a PMO and accelerate the delivery of the organization's strategy. Despite her initial lack of experience, she embraced the challenge, and, with the right support and framework (The IMPACT Engine System), built a PMO that delivered sustainable value. In this episode, Andrea shares the steps she took, the challenges she faced, and the strategies she used to succeed.
