Relevance is the New Power: Why Great Communicators Start With Why
If you have ever sat through a meeting and found yourself silently asking, “Why am I even here?” then you already understand the most common failure in workplace communication. It is not that the speaker lacked knowledge or that the slides were uninspiring. It is that the message never connected to something meaningful for you.

When Culture Is the Project: What It Really Takes to Shift an Organization
Most projects are defined by timelines, deliverables, and budgets. But there is another kind of project that operates just beneath the surface of the work: shaping the culture. Culture is not simply a backdrop to execution. It is an active force that affects how people collaborate, solve problems, and respond to change. Sometimes, the goal of the project is to change that culture itself. These efforts may not show up in a Gantt chart, but they are just as complex and require thoughtful leadership. When project professionals are tasked with driving transformation, they need to understand that culture is both the context and the outcome.
