Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers!

PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills

Hi, IMPACT Driver!
 
Have you ever walked out of an executive meeting wondering why your project didn’t get the green light—despite all the hard work your team put into it?
 
The problem isn’t the project. It’s how you’re presenting it.
 
In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the critical skills you need to master to speak the language of executives and secure buy-in.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why tasks and deliverables don’t grab executive attention – and what to focus on instead
✅ The framework I teach our mastermind students to position your projects as strategic, value-driving initiatives
✅ How to highlight the consequences of inaction to create urgency and executive alignment
 
I also share real-world stories from my own career and from students in the IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind who made small but powerful shifts in how they communicated – and saw immediate results.
