I have a solid track record of helping organizations with PMO startups and revitalization, leading large and complex programs and IT projects, delivering business results under near-impossible timelines, and building team member capabilities.
My current focus is on supporting organizations to understand and adopt agile at the enterprise level, and to revitalize project management offices by helping them to embrace agile thinking to deliver more business value.
My passions include:
- Agile Transformation and Coaching

- Inspiring and Motivating Teams

I'm recognized as an expert in interpersonal skills and relationship building (see http://eq4pm.typepad.com/). In 2007 I authored "Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers: the People Skills You Need to Achieve Outstanding Results".
I teach a variety of workshops and training courses on topics related to agile development, emotional intelligence, and project management. I also train and coach emerging project leaders through informal mentoring, workshops, and classroom training.
