Have you noticed that sustainability reporting is becoming more precise?
One of the biggest proposed changes to greenhouse gas accounting is happening right now, and while it may sound like a topic reserved for sustainability professionals, it has real implications for project leaders.
In this episode, Brittany Wilkins explains the proposed updates to Scope 2 greenhouse gas accounting, why annual renewable electricity matching may no longer be enough, and how changes like hourly matching could reshape projects across operations, IT, procurement, finance, and sustainability.
More importantly, this episode explores the leadership lesson behind the technical guidance.
As organizations face increasing pressure to provide better data, stronger transparency, and measurable results, projects become the mechanism for turning new requirements into reality.
You'll learn:
• What Scope 2 emissions are and why the accounting guidance is changing
• What hourly matching means in practical terms
• Why these proposed changes extend far beyond sustainability teams
• How project leaders can prepare for increasing business complexity
If you want to lead projects that matter, understanding the business environment around your projects is no longer optional.

2026/06/09 | 25 mins.Send us Fan Mail
Business transformation is often discussed through the lens of technology, AI, automation, and digital initiatives. But after attending the CLM Summit, one theme surfaced repeatedly beneath the technology conversations: maintaining visibility and coordination is becoming increasingly difficult as complexity grows.
In this episode, host Brittany Wilkins shares key observations from the summit and explore why connected systems, trusted data, lifecycle alignment, and cross-functional coordination matter more than ever. We discuss the role AI plays as an amplifier, the risks of disconnected systems and tribal knowledge, and why organizations must think beyond technology implementation when navigating transformation.
Topics include:
• AI and operational foundations
• Product complexity and customization
• Connected systems and data visibility
• Lifecycle alignment across business functions
• Human barriers to transformation
• Why coordination is becoming a competitive advantage
Whether you work in project management, operations, manufacturing, digital transformation, or organizational leadership, this episode offers practical insights into what it takes to maintain clarity and control in an increasingly interconnected business environment.
The promise does not come without the process.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. But awareness alone won’t fix what’s breaking project leaders.
In this episode, Brittany Wilkins challenges the conversation around mental health in high-pressure environments and reveals the real issue: unmanaged pressure.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, delayed decisions, avoided difficult conversations, or questioned your ability to lead under pressure—this episode is for you.
Because the truth is simple:
Your projects don’t break first.
You do.
And until you learn how to manage pressure in real time, you will continue to hit the same wall—no matter how skilled or experienced you are.
If you are ready to strengthen the skills that separate project managers from project leaders, explore the Power Skills Accelerator, a course designed to help professionals master the leadership capabilities needed to thrive in complex project environments.

2026/05/07 | 25 mins.Send us Fan Mail
Every business is measured by its financial performance.
Revenue. Profit. The bottom line.
That’s what people look at when something collapses.
But by the time the numbers reflect the problem, it’s already been there.
There are other indicators that get overlooked.
Decision speed starts to slow.
Pressure builds in places no one is tracking.
Options begin to narrow long before anyone calls it a risk.
I didn’t look at Spirit Airlines and think this was sudden.
I thought about how long it had probably been building.
In this episode, I walk through what most people miss when they look at business failure.
Not the outcome. The pattern behind it.
Because collapse doesn’t start with financial results.
It starts inside the system.
And if you’re not paying attention to those signals early, you don’t get time to react. You get forced to respond.
