Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

Being stranded at Universal Studios taught podcast host Brittany Wilkins a valuable lesson—traditional methods still work. In this episode, she shares how that unexpected moment sparked a deeper realization about project management: the importance of knowing when to choose Agile, Waterfall, or a hybrid of both.

🚖 Agile is the Uber. Waterfall is the taxi.
Both have value. Both have a place. The smartest project leaders know which ride to take based on the road ahead.

💡 What You'll Learn:

Why Waterfall still works for projects requiring structure, compliance, and predictability
When Agile thrives in fast-paced, feedback-driven environments
How to build a hybrid approach that combines the best of both worlds
Real-world analogies and case studies to help you make smarter project decisions

Plus, Brittany gives a special shoutout to new listener Megan, who’s transitioning into project management and already finding value in the Masterclass community.

Send us a text In this powerful episode of Project Management Masterclass , host Brittany Wilkins unpacks the rise and fall of the Chill-Can Project in Youngstown, Ohio—a $20 million initiative that promised over 200 jobs, economic revival, and innovation but delivered none of it.

Born and raised in Youngstown, Brittany shares her firsthand experience of watching hope turn into heartbreak as communities were uprooted, homes were bulldozed, and nothing materialized. Through the lens of project management, she breaks down what went wrong: missing milestones, ignored red flags, poor risk planning, and blind optimism without validation. The episode also examines the chillingly similar case of Zoetic Global—another failed promise in the same city. 🎧 Whether you’re a project leader, policymaker, or community advocate, this episode will challenge you to rethink what responsible project management really looks like—and why the lessons we learn must be applied. 🔑 Key Topics: The emotional and economic cost of failed projects Lessons in risk, governance, and stakeholder accountability Why "lessons learned" aren't enough without action A call to project managers to lead with integrity, not just ambition Subscribe to exclusive bonus episodes and elevate your project management career with insider insights, advanced strategies, and expert guidance! https://www.buzzsprout.com/2308468/subscribe Support the show…
