From Client to Project Manager at IA
Some teams you work with. Others you find yourself wanting to join. IA has always been the second kind for me, and I'm excited to officially become part of the team as a Project Manager. That excitement comes from a career that's followed one consistent thread, no matter the title...
A New Chapter (Bringing it All to the Table)
There are moments in a career that feel less like a decision and more like a natural next step; where everything you've built, learned, and worked toward seems to quietly point you in a new direction. For me, that moment came after nearly a decade with Cherokee Nation Entertainment. It...
PMO is managing the plan, but is anyone managing change?
You can run a project exactly as designed and still miss the outcome that mattered most. I’ve seen it happen. The milestones are met. The steering committee gets regular updates. The RAID log is current, the budget is under control, and the rollout goes live right on schedule. On paper,...
Routinizing change: Making continuous transformation a leadership discipline
If the past five years have taught the C-suite anything, it’s that transformation is no longer episodic. It’s pervasive. Digital acceleration, AI integration, geopolitical instability, shifting workforce expectations and relentless cost pressures have collapsed the traditional rhythm of change.

Exhaustion was normalized. Burnout became a private problem rather than a systemic one. A Turning Point In many ways, 2025 marked a...
Reflection with Purpose: The Year-End Retrospective
Ah, here we are. That beautifully awkward time of year when we’re straddling the mad dash to wrap up projects and the slow drift into the holiday weeks. As we enter the final stretch, many of us face the same recurring question: How should I use this time? Will you...
5 ways to build transformations that really matter in 2026
Every year gives transformation leaders a clearer view of their systems, their culture and their capacity for change. But 2025 surfaced something more important: the limits of our old transformation playbooks. Strategies stalled not because leaders lacked vision, but because organizations have outgrown the traditional ways we manage change. Most...
The Human Side of Project Success
Governance frameworks, project plans, and status dashboards often take center stage in conversations about program and project management. They create structure, enable visibility, and provide leaders with a sense of control. But anyone who has ever shepherded a complex initiative from inception through delivery knows the deeper truth: no process...
Leading after massive change
It’s been a year of tough choices and constant change. Wave after wave of mass layoffs, ongoing acquisitions, and the shuffling of org charts across industries have become a constant drumbeat - a reminder that even well-run companies face tough decisions. While much is said about the people who leave,...
