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."

Does successful execution begin when a project starts, or long before execution ever begins?
In this episode of Project Success Playbook, I reflect on one of the most influential concepts from The 4 Disciplines of Execution: lead measures.
Rather than reviewing the book, I explore the question it challenged me to ask:
If organizations know the right lead measures, what allows people to consistently act on them?
Together, we'll explore:
The difference between lag measures and lead measures.
Why visibility is essential for execution.
How organizational systems influence execution.
Why successful execution may begin with organizational design, not just project planning.
A practical exercise to evaluate your own KPIs, dashboards, and scorecards.
This isn't a book review.
It's a conversation about execution.
If you're ready to think more deeply about leadership, organizational performance, and the systems that shape successful execution, I'd love for you to join me.
