305: Stop Wasting Time on Training That Doesn't Stick

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

PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills



Are your training programs truly moving the needle? 

In this episode, I’m revealing why traditional training fails and how you can build lasting capability instead. If you’re leading a PMO, driving business transformation, or building project delivery excellence, this episode is your blueprint for real, measurable IMPACT. 

We’ll explore: 

• Why knowledge alone isn’t enough 
• The dangers of cram-and-exam bootcamps 
• How to break bad habits and instill new ones 
• What makes immersive learning experiences effective 
• How to build a culture of measuring what truly matters 

Stop settling for passive training that doesn’t deliver results. 

👉 Press play to start building real capability that drives transformation. 

P.S. 🎉 International PMO Day is almost here — Tuesday, May 13! 🎉 

That’s right… it’s time to celebrate YOU and all the hard work PMOs do to drive IMPACT. 

Start planning your PMO party now! Whether it’s a team lunch, a virtual toast, or just a moment to treat yourself (hello, coffee break!), take time to recognize the powerhouse that is your PMO. Or better yet, team up with other PMOs in your organization and turn it into a full-on celebration! 

We're cooking up something special behind the scenes, so keep an eye on the newsletter—details coming soon! 

Let the countdown to PMO greatness begin... 🥳
