Summary In this episode, Andy talks with leadership coach Phil Wilson, author of The Leader-Shift Playbook: 4 Simple Changes to Score Big and Unleash Your Team's Potential. Phil shares his own “Mount Stupid” moment, when he realized the biggest obstacle to his team's success was actually himself, and how that wake-up call led to powerful changes in his leadership approach. The conversation dives into the four core shifts from his book, covering topics like the power of belief (in yourself and others), and how seemingly small habits shape team culture. Phil and Andy explore how frontline leaders can create real momentum by changing how they show up, how they relate to their team, and how they view their role as a leader. You'll also hear practical ways to build trust on remote teams and foster relationships that drive performance. If you're looking for insights on culture, trust, feedback, and practical leadership growth, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “There are no neutral interactions. You're either growing the culture or you're hurting the culture.” “The solution wasn't a Chief of Staff. What I needed was to be a better leader.” “Self-doubt isn't humility. It's fear dressed up as honesty.” "Beliefs drive behavior." “The belief you have about your team—whether they're heroes or villains—changes everything.” “You don't have the luxury of assuming anything other than the best about your people.” “Leadership actually happens in the conversations you're willing to have.” "Best and Best: Each person shares the best thing going on in their personal life, and the best thing going on in their work life." "The Three Happys: Three things from the day before that made you happy." “If you had a product you were selling, you'd ask your customers for feedback. As a leader, your team is your customer.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:06 Start of Interview 02:16 Phil's Family Influence on Leadership 05:15 Mount Stupid Moment: A Leadership Realization 09:11 Implementing EOS for Better Leadership 11:12 We're Always Making Culture 13:47 We Shape a Tone Just By Walking Into a Room: How Does that Work With Virtual Work? 16:04 Self-Doubt vs. Humility in Leadership 20:30 The Hero Assumption in Leadership 24:23 How to Show You Believe In Someone 26:54 The Importance of Relationships in Teams 29:09 Creating a Positive Team Culture 32:07 Applying Leadership Principles at Home 35:31 End of Interview 36:06 Andy Comments After the Interview 40:14 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Phil and his work at YourLeaderShift.com.

Summary When you're promoted into management, the shift can feel like you're suddenly in charge, but with very little guidance. In this episode, Andy chats with executive coach and author James Turk about his insightful book The Giving Game: A Manager's Playbook for the First Year of Leadership. James brings decades of experience helping leaders navigate that tricky transition from individual contributor to team leader. They explore why being a subject-matter expert doesn't automatically make you an effective leader, and why the first 45 days in a new role are so critical. James shares practical advice for building a strong team climate, coaching instead of controlling, and why clarity is one of the greatest gifts you can offer as a manager. Plus, they discuss what new managers often miss about feedback and delegation (and how to avoid those traps). Whether you're newly promoted or preparing to step into a leadership role, this conversation is filled with actionable insights. If you're looking for real-world advice on how to lead when you're suddenly in charge, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “The number one reason employees don't do what they're supposed to do is that they don't know what it is.” “Leadership isn't about being the smartest person in the room. It's about creating the conditions for others to succeed.” “Climate is how it feels to work for you, and as a leader, that's something you have the power to shape every day.” “Coaching isn't fixing the past. It's investing in someone's future performance.” “Most people, when they're promoted, don't have the skills, and they're afraid to admit it.” “If I want people to do the work, they need to know what's expected of them.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:57 Start of Interview 02:06 What early experiences shaped how you think about leadership? 05:30 Why call it 'The Giving Game'? 08:39 What would you coach me to do differently in my first 45 days as a new manager? 11:01 Why focus on climate instead of culture? 15:57 How do we shift teams from renter mode to ownership? 20:18 Why do so many managers think we're being clear? 21:42 How can leaders delegate in a way that builds ownership? 22:47 When did you make a delegation mistake because of lack of clarity? 25:25 What's an example of feedback that changed your career? 27:59 What do you think about the 'feedback sandwich' technique? 29:44 How can these ideas help parents at home? 32:10 End of Interview 32:31 Andy Comments After the Interview 36:15 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about James Turk and his work at TheTurkGroup.com/TheGivingGameBook.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Sabina Nawaz, global CEO coach and former Microsoft executive, about her new book You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be and Others Need. With authenticity and insight, Sabina shares what no one tells you about stepping into management, from the strange emptiness that can follow a promotion to how pressure can quietly bring out the worst in us. They discuss why even successful leaders can feel like imposters, how power and pressure distort our perceptions, and what it means to be an “innocent saboteur.” Sabina also offers practical advice, such as developing your “shut up muscle,” asking better questions, and making small habit changes that stick. The conversation covers everything from leadership in the workplace to parenting, making this one of those rare episodes with takeaways for every area of life. If you're looking for insights on how to grow as a leader without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “It's not power that corrupts. It's pressure that corrupts.” “If nobody's giving you the full truth, what are the ways you might be going off track?” “When you're under pressure, do nothing. That's counterintuitive but that's where insight lives.” “The more righteous you feel, the more you need to consider alternative stories.” “Use 'Say more' when you're curious—and especially when you're judgmental.” “The only way to overachieve is to underachieve—start with micro habits.” “You're not the only one with imposter syndrome—CEOs have it too.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:15 Start of Interview 02:24 “Can you think of anything from your family culture or experiences growing up that may have influenced how you think about leadership?” 05:08 “You describe getting promoted as a strange emptiness—what were the signs it came with unexpected costs?” 07:17 “Do you see imposter syndrome even in top-level leaders you coach?” 08:21 “How does embracing the complexity of leadership change how we view our own leaders?” 10:04 “How do we unknowingly sabotage ourselves as leaders?” 12:09 “What are some of the signs that you're veering off track as a boss?” 13:10 “What specific things do you personally do to manage pressure situations so you don't become a monster?” 17:13 “You say, ‘stay small longer than you think you need to.' What does that mean and how do you apply it?” 21:07 “What is a singular story and how do we rescue ourselves from believing them?” 26:20 “What's the ‘shut up muscle' and how do you develop it?” 29:02 “Can you think of ideas from the book that apply to parenting as well?” 31:44 End of Interview 32:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 37:40 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Sabina and her work at SabinaNawaz.com/book.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes back leadership coach Josefine Campbell to discuss her newest book, 12 Tools for Managing a Selfish Leader. If you've ever had a boss who seemed unpredictable, emotionally draining, or even manipulative, this conversation offers tools and insights that can help. Josefine shares the inspiration behind the book, which is based on the story of a coaching client who successfully navigated a toxic leadership environment. You'll learn how to identify the early signals of stress in yourself and your team, apply tools like the Stress Staircase and the Three Relationship Circles, and recognize behaviors like “praise with a twist.” Most importantly, Josefine emphasizes the critical turning point: recognizing that while you can't change a selfish leader, you can change how you manage yourself to better navigate the relationship. If you're looking for insights on how to manage up, preserve your well-being, and lead yourself through challenging leadership dynamics, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “To qualify as a selfish leader, the way I use the term: it's someone who puts their own interests before the interests of the common good of the company, of the team, and of the people.” “Your breath is the only vital response you can control. It's your way back to calm in the moment.” “Over-responsibility is a shadow trait of high achievers. When you are highly responsible, it has a dark side. It makes it difficult for you to let go.” “I cannot change him. I can somehow manage him, but it is about how I manage myself to manage him.” “The turning point comes when you stop trying to change them and start managing yourself.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:07 Start of Interview 02:20 Why This Book? What Sparked the Idea? 06:00 What Is—and Isn't—a Selfish Leader? 08:40 Subtle Early Warning Signs of Stress 10:09 The Stress Staircase: What It Is and How to Use It 13:00 From a Hijacked Mental State to Being Ready 16:49 Techniques: Rewriting History and Praise With a Twist 23:35 Over-Responsibility and High Achievers 26:20 The Three Relationship Circles 29:04 Managing Yourself to Manage Them 32:36 Stay or Go?

Methodically test each of the 35 tasks: http://pmpdoctor.com The PMP exam content outline is designed to test your knowledge and skills across a wide range of project management concepts, both traditional (predictive) and agile. Key Areas and Comparative Analysis: While the specific tasks may differ slightly between agile and predictive approaches, the underlying principles often overlap. Here's a breakdown of the key areas and how they're addressed in both methodologies: 1. People Management Predictive: Focuses on hierarchical structures, formal roles, and clear reporting lines. Agile: Emphasizes self-organizing teams, empowerment, and collaborative decision-making. Common Tasks: Building high-performing teams Managing conflict Motivating and inspiring team members 2. Process Management Predictive: Relies on detailed planning, rigorous control, and adherence to predefined processes. Agile: Adapts to change, prioritizes flexibility, and embraces iterative development. Common Tasks: Defining project scope and objectives Planning and managing project schedules Monitoring and controlling project work 3. Product Management Predictive: Focuses on delivering a predefined product or service. Agile: Prioritizes delivering value incrementally and responding to changing requirements. Common Tasks: Defining product features and functionality Managing product quality Ensuring customer satisfaction 4. Stakeholder Management Predictive: Involves identifying, analyzing, and managing stakeholders' expectations. Agile: Requires active engagement of stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. Common Tasks: Building relationships with stakeholders Communicating effectively Managing stakeholder expectations Bridging the Gap Between Agile and Predictive While the two methodologies have distinct approaches, many modern projects blend both elements. The PMP exam recognizes this trend and assesses your ability to apply both predictive and agile techniques as appropriate. To effectively prepare for the PMP exam, consider the following: Understand the core principles of both methodologies. Practice applying these principles to real-world scenarios. Develop a strong foundation in project management fundamentals. Stay updated on industry trends and emerging practices. By mastering both the traditional and agile perspectives, you'll be well-equipped to tackle the challenges and opportunities of modern project management. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/support

Get ready to transform from a project management novice to a reunion rockstar! Chapter 1: Develop the Project Charter (Initiating Process Group) Our story begins with you, the enthusiastic organizer, initiating the project. You'll develop the "Project Charter," the guiding document that defines the reunion's purpose, scope, and key stakeholders (think: crazy Aunt Mildred and picky cousin Billy).

We'll delve into the "Planning Process Group," encompassing 24 of the 49 processes. You'll: Collect Requirements (Define Scope): Reach out to family members, their "requirements" (wishes!), using surveys, emails, and good old-fashioned phone calls. Define Scope: Based on the collected information, establish the reunion's boundaries - a backyard barbecue or a fancy resort getaway? Develop WBS (Work Breakdown Structure): Break down the reunion into manageable chunks - venue booking, catering, entertainment (think hiring a clown? That's a "Develop Procurements" process!). Develop Schedule: Craft a timeline using tools like Gantt charts, ensuring everything comes together seamlessly (think "Develop Schedule" process). Estimate Costs: Develop a budget that considers everything from food to decorations (think "Estimate Costs" process). This aligns with the "Cost Management Process Group" as well.

Manage Communications: Keep everyone informed through emails, group chats, and maybe even a fun family newsletter (think "Manage Communications" process). Chapter 4: Keeping it Smooth Sailing (Monitoring and Controlling Process Group) Things are in motion, but hiccups are inevitable! The "Monitoring and Controlling Process Group" equips you to handle them: Monitor Project Work: Track progress on tasks like venue booking and entertainment (think "Monitor Project Work" process). Perform Integrated Change Control: Unexpected dietary restrictions? A last-minute guest list change? This process helps you adapt (think "Perform Integrated Change Control" process). Chapter 5: Grand Finale and Beyond (Closing Process Group) The reunion is a roaring success! We'll cover the "Closing Process Group," where you'll: Close Procurements: Finalize payments with vendors (think "Close Procurements" process). Close Project: Document lessons learned and celebrate your achievement (think "Close Project" process). This is just a glimpse into the adventure! By following these steps and mastering the 49 PMP processes, you'll be well on your way to planning a family reunion that will be remembered for years to come. Want to create live streams like this?

PMP Exam Certification in 2 Week Illusion - Facts, Fiction & Fallacies The idea that you can become PMP certified in just 2 weeks is unrealistic and FALSE. The Project Management Professional (PMP) certification is a rigorous credential that validates your knowledge, experience, and skills in project management. Here's why the 2-week timeframe is misleading: Experience Requirement: To be eligible for the PMP exam, you typically need 36 months of documented project management experience with at least 4,500 hours leading and directing projects and an additional 35 hours of project management education. That counts for something! A LOT! Knowledge Breadth: The PMP exam covers a broad range of project management processes, tools, and techniques outlined in the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). Grasping this comprehensive body of knowledge takes time and dedicated study. While some people may pass the PMP exam with fewer than the recommended study hours, it's not a common scenario. Most PMP aspirants require several months of focused preparation to solidify their understanding and develop test-taking strategies. Here are some realistic expectations for PMP certification: Preparation Time: Dedicated PMP aspirants typically invest 200-300 hours studying for the exam. This may involve taking a PMP prep course, reading the PMBOK Guide, completing practice exams, and attending bootcamps. Overall Timeline: Factoring in the experience requirement and study time, realistically, achieving PMP certification can take anywhere from 6 months to a year or more. If you're considering pursuing the PMP certification, don't be discouraged by the time commitment. The PMP credential is highly valued in the project management field and can significantly enhance your career prospects. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/support
