Given the high rate of project failures, you might think that companies would be happy to just have their project finish with some degree of success. That's not the case. Despite the odds, organizations expect projects to be completed faster, cheaper, and better. The only way that these objectives can be met is through the use of effective project management processes and techniques.

Cheri's guests today are Sue Churchill, Joe Fitts and Lisa Bausell, project management professionals (PMP) a designation lauded as the gold standard of project management certification because it is recognized and demanded by organizations worldwide. The PMP validates their competence to perform in the role of a project manager, leading and directing projects and teams.

What, Exactly, Is a Brand? In the old West, it was an identifying mark burned onto livestock with a fire-heated iron to thwart rustlers and cattle thieves. In similar fashion, businesses and individuals try to mark themselves with a distinct brand and embed that brand in the minds of the public at large or a specific, targeted population, to thwart copycatting and commoditization. Brynn Breuner is the founder of Mind Spark Branding and Cheri Hill is President of Sage Advertising & Marketing. These two ladies have an instinctive knack for seeing new marketing opportunities, connecting ideas to tangible outcomes and finding the perfect words to describe what a business does and how it does it! Marketing, of course, is how you drive revenue for your brand. It’s how you actually promote your products and/or services to your public. Once people know who you are and begin to identify you with a specific area of understanding or expertise, you'll be well on your way to becoming the go-to person in your niche or industry. Listen to this outstanding podcast as aired on April 16, 2016 on KKFT-99.1 FM Talk in Lake Tahoe, Carson City and Reno, Nevada.

Rocket Tom Taormina was a member of the Project Apollo Team that sent men to the moon and returned them home safely. He was on duty during Apollo 13, the disastrous explosion in space.
