For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

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

PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen

If you've ever felt like your executives and other stakeholders don't really appreciate all you bring to the table (or maybe even see you as administrative overhead), you're not alone.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest mindset shifts that separates project managers and PMO leaders from true strategic leaders.

It’s time to stop managing and start leading.

I share how to break free from the “order-taker” mentality and focus on delivering real business outcomes – not just outputs. I even share a personal story from The IMPACT Engine about how asking the right questions transformed the way my PMO was perceived by leadership.

Here’s the thing – leadership doesn’t care about project plans. They care about results.

So what are you doing to shift your focus to the results, IMPACT Driver?

Listen now to find out how.

P.S. Stop the chaos—start leading with confidence! The IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind gives you expert coaching, hands-on support, and the blueprint to deliver real business value. Ready to accelerate your success? Join us here!

What if the key to successful strategy execution isn’t just delivery—but how projects are set up from the start?
