Project Management Masterclass
Project Management Masterclass is the podcast for project professionals who want to move beyond managing tasks and start leading projects with clarity, influence, and strategic thinking.
Hosted by Brittany Wilkins, founder of Makoway Consulting, author of Letters to My Sisters in Engineering, and creator of the emerging philosophy known as Execution Intelligence, this show explores what truly drives project success in today's increasingly complex environment.
Brittany built her career inside the gap between strategy and execution—the place where capable teams often struggle to turn plans into results. Through years of leading projects, advising organizations, and studying the leadership behaviors that separate successful initiatives from failed ones, she developed a simple belief:
Project success is rarely limited by effort. More often, it is limited by execution.
Each episode explores the principles, frameworks, power skills, and mindset required to navigate complexity, align teams, improve decision-making, and deliver meaningful outcomes. From leadership development and industry trends to lessons learned from real-world projects, Project Management Masterclass equips professionals with the tools needed to elevate their careers and lead with confidence.
Listeners come for the insight and stay for the practical perspective.
One listener shared:
"I listened during a road trip from Arkansas to Texas and was completely hooked. The content is relevant, inspiring, and genuinely memorable."
Another reflection from the same review:
"Your calm, articulate cadence makes the content accessible even for listeners who speak English as a second language."

Project Success Playbook| The Human Gap Framework: Diagnosing Change Readiness
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Project Management Masterclass +
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!In Episode 28 we explored five reasons why change management is necessary.
But understanding why change matters is not the same as knowing whether you are ready to lead it.
Before launching a new system, strategy, or structural shift, leaders must diagnose the behavioral distance between the current state and the desired future state.
In this first Project Success Playbook masterclass, Brittany introduces the Human Gap Framework, a five step approach to evaluating change readiness before implementation begins.
You will learn how to:
• Define the future state in observable behavior
• Document the current state honestly
• Identify psychological friction points
• Analyze contributing behavioral factors
• Prioritize and assign ownership
Most organizations focus on technical readiness when planning change.
But projects succeed or fail based on behavior.
If behavior does not shift, execution stalls.
This masterclass provides a disciplined process for diagnosing readiness before you deploy a major initiative.
If you are preparing to lead a transformation effort, operational change, or new strategic initiative, begin with diagnosis instead of assumption.
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.
