Foundations Friday 37: Hearts Aren’t Always Red, They’re Black and Blue

Helping leaders and teams move through change with practical leadership, disciplined execution, and steady progress.

Every organization, every career, and every life follows a rhythm.

Ideas become opportunities. Opportunities become priorities. Priorities become plans. Plans become action. Action becomes progress. Progress becomes experience. Those experiences shape what comes next.

The People, Process, Progress podcast explores that journey.

Hosted by Kevin Pannell, Director of an IT Project Management Office, former healthcare PMO leader, U.S. Navy veteran, emergency management professional, and author, each episode helps leaders navigate change with practical leadership, disciplined execution, and purposeful progress.

Drawing on experience leading enterprise portfolios, responding to disasters, serving in healthcare, training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and building resilient teams, the conversations connect leadership principles with real-world application.

Throughout the year, the podcast follows the natural rhythm of organizational leadership and portfolio management:
• January–March: Discovery & Demand
• April–June: Planning & Prioritization
• July–August: Execution & Governance
• September–October: Go Live & Operational Readiness
• November: Portfolio Performance & Lessons Learned
• December: Continuous Improvement & Planning Ahead

Every episode is viewed through three lenses:
▸ People: Leading with empathy, building trust, developing teams, and strengthening partnerships.
▸ Process: Applying practical leadership, portfolio management, governance, and execution practices that help organizations succeed.
▸ Progress: Learning, improving, measuring outcomes, and moving forward, personally and professionally.

Whether you're a CIO, PMO leader, project manager, executive, first responder, or someone navigating change in your own career or life, you'll find practical conversations designed to help you lead well, execute with discipline, and keep moving forward.
