Brenda Neckvatal helps the strongest leaders deal with the messiest people—because leadership gets real when emotions get loud, trust gets shaky, and egos start swinging. She’s a three-time bestselling author, an award-winning Human Results expert, and a serial entrepreneur featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Inc., and US News & World Report.
After 18 years inside six Fortune 500 companies, Brenda transitioned out of traditional HR and into Human Results, where the goal isn’t checking boxes. It’s getting results. Her no-fluff strategies have helped over 1,000 leaders and 700 companies avoid costly mistakes, fix toxic dynamics, and build teams that actually work.
Brenda has spoken on nearly 400 stages, delivering high-impact transformational keynotes that break through the audience’s mental background noise and land with such precision, audiences lean in, lose track of time, and get fully immersed in the message. With 30 years of experience, she’s a trusted mentor in crisis management, group dynamics, and leadership transformation—especially when the stakes are high and the people are difficult.
She also donates 32 weeks a year to The Honor Foundation, helping Navy SEALs and Special Forces veterans navigate the transition to civilian life with purpose and clarity.
When chaos shows up at your door, Brenda is the call you make.

Dr. Watchorn's approach to change management is encapsulated in her "Change Ninja" persona, emphasizing stealth, strategic, and human-focused methods over traditional, process-heavy management styles. This approach aims at making change less confrontational and more aligned with human behaviours and motivations.
She authored "The Change Ninja Handbook," which is described as a gamified, choose-your-own-adventure book designed to teach change management through interactive scenarios. This was followed by "The Change Ninja Returns," where she applies her change management techniques to personal life challenges, using herself as a case study.
Her philosophy revolves around focusing on people rather than processes, understanding and leveraging human motivations, and adapting to change rather than resisting it. She advocates for a 'Just in Time' learning approach where results are immediate and repeatable.
Dr. Watchorn is recognized for her engaging and interactive keynotes, where she shares tools for managing change, understanding stakeholder preferences, and leading transformations in a way that's both effective and less resistant.
Her work has been recognized in the Business Book Awards, and she's known for her innovative training methods, which include virtual 3D environments designed around human interactions rather than technology for technology's sake.
Her journey into change management was partly driven by personal life challenges, which she turned into a learning opportunity, further enriching her teachings and writings.

This week I have part 2 of my interview with Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy,
Glenn, the only child of two hard-working parents, grew up on the streets of New York City. He played street games like stickball, punchball, 3-box baseball and Johnny-on-the Pony with his buddies. He loved the competitive aspects of sports and the opportunities it provided for leadership. As he got older and taller, he moved on to competitive schoolyard and recreational league basketball.
All these experiences came together and evolved when he attended an 8-week summer camp in upstate New York. Glenn especially loved the camp season finale when the entire camp of several hundred youngsters was divided into two teams for a week of Olympic-style competition in all manner of sports from baseball to archery to swimming. At age 15 Glenn was selected to serve as captain of one team where led a group of boys that ranged from five to 15 years of age requiring him to provide leadership in the form of support, motivation and positive influence to a varied group.
In high school and later in college, Glenn played varsity sports where he learned the values of hard work, practice and collaboration. The sum total of these experiences helped Glenn learn that when he worked hard --- whether in sports or in the classroom ---- he succeeded.
He took those values into his work life. After working for several organizations, Glenn and a colleague started a small business as training and organizational development consultants. The business took Glenn to all parts of the US giving him the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people working in a wide variety of industries and occupations. During this time, he narrowed the focus of the consulting to building effective teams and creating team-based organizations.
Glenn always loved to write --- his first article was published while he was still in graduate school --- but it took a while for him to work up the courage and confidence to write a book. With the encouragement of Peter Block, Jossey-Bass published his first book, Team Players and Teamwork in 1990 that went on to be a best-seller. The book included a self-assessment survey which was subsequently published as a separate booklet and went on to sell more than one million copies as the Parker Team Player Survey. Many books and leader guides followed including another best-seller, Cross-Functional Teams: Working with Allies, Enemies and Other Strangers. His most recent book, co-authored with his son, Michael is Positive Influence: The Leader Who Helps People Become Their Best Self (HRD Press, 2020).
A graduate of City College of New York with a B.A., Glenn also holds an M.A. from the University of Illinois and has studied for the doctorate at Cornell. He also studied at the University of Oslo.
Outside of work Glenn has always been on the front lines of political and social causes as well as charitable issues such as cancer. He is a cancer survivor and long-time volunteer with the American Cancer Society. He co-founded Run for Dad, an annual event that draws some 1,500 people and is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of prostate cancer and funds for cancer research.
Glenn and his wife, Judy, live in central New Jersey. They are parents of three grown children and grandparents to six wonderful grandchildren all of whom live nearby. Judy and Glenn share of love of travel having visited numerous places around the world to enjoy art, culture, history and good food.

About Kelly Kelly started Function & Flow to help teams and organizations, just like yours, work better, smarter, and more effectively…together. In short, to Do Productivity Differently.
Over two decades of experience as an educator and project manager have taught her that industries and missions are as different as the day is long. But, the foundational principles of getting things done are always the same. Get to the core, collaborate effectively, choose a path, and commit.
Her superpower is helping you simplify that process.
When not nerding out on this incredible work, her own sense of balance comes from her best friend/husband, home in the woods, dogs who think she invented peanut butter, and her enjoyable, albeit endless, pursuit of being a slightly less bad yogi, runner, and musician.

Online PM Courses: www.nigelcreaser.com/onlinepmcourses
Riverside: www.nigelcreaser.com/riverside
Ken is a grandfather, father, midwestern boy, writer, speaker, photographer, and lyricist. In his early fifties, he decided to replace his habit of reading with writing while travelling. Little did he know that this simple change would lead him on a transformative journey of self-discovery and creativity. For 20 years, he lived and worked in 15 countries across Asia, immersing himself in new cultures, languages, and experiences. Along the way, he found himself consumed by the thoughts inside him as they fought tirelessly to be heard. Writing became his outlet, his way of processing the world around him and sharing his ideas with others. And with a lot of time on his hands in cars, planes, and airports, it poured out of him. As he embraced change and pursued his passion for writing, he discovered new depths of growth and transformation. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but taking chances and trying new things can lead to unimaginable opportunities and personal fulfilment. At 59 years old, Ken left his corporate job behind to dedicate his life to giving real people and real conversations a place to be heard. He is a man on a mission; uncovering the true essence of America. Armed with a jar full of questions that he developed over three years of self-reflection, Ken is on the road interviewing strangers in 111 cities across the nation. Each episode of The Jar features a new guest whose life story unfolds slowly through the thought-provoking questions in hand. Listen to guests’ share their deepest thoughts, struggles, and triumphs, painting a vivid picture of the human experience. Now 60, he's fueled by passion and purpose as he’s turning strangers into friends. With the help of a remote small team, he's dedicated to giving everyday Americans a platform to be heard. With no topic or story off limits, you can expect to hear some of the most fascinating and unexpected stories from the most unexpected people. From the bustling streets of New York City to the serene shores of Santa Monica, The Jar is discovering the lives of the strangers you pass by on the street. The Jar is more than a podcast - it's a movement to highlight what it means to be human and live well, together. Ken's journey will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, inspiring you to see the world in a new light. So buckle up, and join Ken Stearns on this thrilling adventure as he discovers the heart and soul of America, one conversation at a time. And who knows? You just might be the next guest on The Jar, sharing your story and leaving a lasting impact on the world. Website: https://www.thejar.live/

n this week's episode, I have part two of my chat with Kim Hamer, talking about 100 Acts of Love, bereavement and people with serious illnesses and how to deal with it in the workplace.
She was in HR. She left HR. Her husband died from cancer. She went back to HR ... on a mission.
After her husband's death, she noticed managers didn't know what to say or do and were uncomfortable working with an employee with cancer, dealing with loss, or depression. And when an employee died? The ramifications of poor communication and management were detrimental. Lack of knowledge and discomfort negatively affected morale, which harmed productivity. So, she set out to change that.
She landed her first job in HR when the Whole Foods Store Manager said, "Hey Kim, we have an opening for a part-time HR person and the department heads, and I think you'd be good at it because you know everyone in the store." Within a year, she was a full-time HR professional overseeing 6 stores in 2 states. She discovered she is an intuitive and lightning-fast learner. Equipped with a capacity to build strong relationships quickly and the support of a helpful corporate team, she skilled up quickly. She enjoys almost everything about HR.

In this episode, we have the second part of my chat with Lucy Harrison, The Soft Skills Guru
Lucy's aim is to inspire and equip a million people to think, act and lead with more humanity, making the workplace more collaborative, entrepreneurial and creative. She has been working with teams and their leaders for more than twenty years using experiential, applied and facilitated learning, and founded the award-winning team and leadership consultancy, the Harrison Network in 2014.
The Harrison Network exists to inspire people to bring more of their humanity into the workplace. By doing so, we facilitate the development of cultures in which people can thrive and help change the world. They believe that given the right organisational culture, people will thrive. A culture of self-awareness, responsibility, support and joint sense of purpose allows people to take things to a higher level. A culture of selfishness leads to ultimate downfall.
If we get these right, we have a chance of solving the complex challenges we face at a business, community and planetary level. Culture is changed by individuals, leaders and teams interacting differently. Harrison Network helps people interact differently and build thriving cultures. She is proud that her work with entrepreneurial thinking and psychological safety is beginning to be recognised beyond the nuclear and outdoor industries where it all began (if you know Cumbria, you'll understand why these two industries are connected!).
Author of best-selling book 'Soft Skills for Tough Jobs; building teams that work one conversation at a time' (available here)which is centred on my original interpersonal approach NALED. When not coaching, facilitating and training, she can be found on the hills or in the water in her beloved Lake District, keeping up the adventures.

This week I have part two of my chat with Adrian Pyne, The Agile Beyond IT Guy.
Adrian has two impressive track records: Delivery & Professional. Delivery 30 years plus led or rescued Change programmes in many sectors (see below), adapting best practice successfully, with a focus on Agility since 2010 . The design, build & leading project, programme and portfolio management (P3) capability for organisations, and Professional Services. Adrian is currently collaborating on [1] Agile Leadership & Project Management [2] Organisation Project Management (OPM), i.e. helping organisations create an environment to maxismise value from projects [3] P3 capability development and Sponsorship coaching Professional Adrian has been at the forefront of the evolution of programme and portfolio management, e.g. APM BoK 6 lead author. A frequent conference speaker and blogger, and co-author of The Gower Handbook of Programme Management, and of APM guides on Agile Governance & Assurance. He says: “Despite great developments in best practice over the last 30 years, around 70% of change still fails, wasting huge investment. There are two main reasons; firstly, many organisations seem unable to address that most difficult success factor – people. There is so much potential for work in this area, integrating people based aspects with the business process and technology. Secondly, working at the organisational level to ensure that the landscape around projects helps them THRIVE and not just SURVIVE, or worse, FAIL.”

This week I have part one of my chat with Andrew Bull, The Monstrous Teams Guy Andrew Bull is on a mission to help entrepreneurs and teams escape gravity and elevate performance in business and life. Known as the Interstellar Strategist, Bull is adept at identifying ways to elevate team and business performance. Whether on his podcasts or speaking at live events, Bull inspires people to have courage, own their future, and take action. Bull started his career in the UK film industry, where he helped the biggest leaders realise their visions for exciting film and advertising projects (including Harry Potter, Moulin Rouge, 300, Sony, Volvo, Philips). After 18 years of working in the film business, Andrew found himself at a crossroads. Whilst he was materially satisfied, and the work was interesting (travelling the world and meeting different people), he lacked time and freedom for loved ones and hobbies. So in 2016, Bull started his business so he could “own his future” and achieve a better work/life balance. Whilst growing his business, Bull has made plenty of mistakes and suffered brutal lessons. And although he found these lessons hard to suffer in the short-term, in the long-term he’s found them incredibly valuable. They’ve helped Bull grow and elevate his performance. They’ve helped him become a better coach, a better father, and a better person. These lessons also helped Bull discover the truth about a big question: What really drives business performance? The team. If the team isn’t performing at the right level, a business can have the best marketing/sales/product in the world and still struggle to achieve its goals. Even worse, when a team is underperforming, the leader and team have to work more and stress more. And they get sucked into business black holes that consume their time and freedom. Bull wasn’t happy with this situation and did something about it. He created InterstellarWay.Life, a coaching solution that helps leaders and their teams defy gravity and elevate performance in business and life. InterstellarWay.Life offers workshops and team accelerators that help teams overcome the challenges of our Brave New World. In 2022 published Andrew Bull published his first book called Monsters of Team Performance. A book that gives leaders a fast way to elevate their team’s motivation, culture, teamwork, innovation, and wellbeing. Bull is also the host of the popular and highly-rated podcast, the Interstellar Business Show, where he connects technology leaders (CEOs, executives) with the best business ideas and leadership stories. When he’s not busy helping leaders elevate their teams, Bull loves spending time with his family and friends.

Born in the 80’s, Victoria McKenna was quite a naughty child, very artistic and quite sensitive. She never actually ‘knew’ what she wanted from life for a very long time, not until 2014 anyway. From leaving university, she followed a path into the world of Telecoms sales, which was the start of a long, enjoyable career, finishing up as a Project Manager, which she loved. As a young adult, for years she dreamt and spoke of designing clothes for women but didn’t have the faith to bring it to fruition. She learnt how to power dress in a corporate world and became obsessed with waistcoats (which she still is to this day) and looking serious, but with an edge. In 2014, life changed when after a period of stress, she had a stroke. Life stopped, she lost her career and it took a total of two years to properly recover, with heart surgery thrown in. If ever there is a time to take a long hard look at yourself, it is during a period of enforced downtime and when there’s no certainty you’ll pull through. But no time for sympathy, because it was then that she realised she had been given a second chance. Life was still upside down with divorce and a lot of upheaval going on, but this whole period was the making of her. So, the brand was born. she registered the name and started the journey. https://www.victoriajanemckenna.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/vickymckennapm/

This episode I have the second part of my interview with Garland Coulson, aka Captain Time.
Garland has spent over 25 years mastering time management. At first, he was determined to learn time management for his own career, but soon found himself helping others wherever he worked. Now he is known as “Captain Time, a time management speaker, trainer and coach, helping thousands of people get more done in less time.
He calls time management the “missing” skill they don’t teach in school or university. No matter how brilliant or talented you are, if you always running out of time, you can’t apply your skills to their fullest
TIME MANAGEMENT COACH
Why Hasn’t Your Time Management Problem Been Solved?
You’ve probably tried to solve your time problem. You worked extra hours, but it just burned you out. You might have read a time management book or taken a workshop. They might have helped a bit in the beginning but the improvement likely didn’t stick because when you got busy, you tended to fall back into the same old habits. Those same old habits that don’t work.
So how do you make real, LASTING change in how you work?
He is also the author of the Amazon bestseller, “Stop Wasting Time: End Procrastination in 5 Weeks with Proven Productivity Techniques.” He
created this book to provide a low budget, easy way for people to get help. If you are struggling with procrastination, this is the book for you.

In this episode, we have part 1 of my interview with Gary Lloyd, The Gardner, Not The Mechanic!
Gary Lloyd helps organisations make sustainable change, by asking them to think and act like gardeners, not mechanics.
It's an analogy that leverages familiar gardening concepts and practices that effectively combine: Systems Thinking, Behavioural Science, Design Thinking and Lean Project Management (which don't usually mention or talk about explicitly, to avoid off-putting concepts and jargon).
Since 1994, when he managed his first large IT-enabled change programme in retail banking, he has directed and consulted in numerous large-scale programmes and projects that have delivered tens of millions of pounds of business value, primarily, but not exclusively, in financial markets and banking organisations.
In addition to his work in organisational change, for the least ten years, he have been a member of the Warwick Business School Executive Coaching Panel, and a steering committee member for the school's award winning Mentoring Programme, helping senior and mid-level executives to achieve success. The mentoring programme has 240 mentors and has mentored over 1,000 mentees since 2009, providing him with a unique window on the world of work.
He believes that today's organisations are more like ecosystems than machines. Sustainable change, therefore, is more likely to succeed if we approach change as a gardener, rather than a mechanic. Success depends on recognising and embracing unpredictability, not pretending it doesn't exist.
He is the author of two books:
- Gardeners Not Mechanics: How to cultivate change at work and
- Business Leadership for IT Projects

In this episode we speak to Bentzy Goldman,.
Bentzy is CEO of Perflo, whose mission is to "Help project teams be more successful using cutting edge research and technology.". He has worked in various areas of software startups as well as consulted organizations on business strategy. He is energized by finding better ways of doing things and the one that excites him most is how we work.
Prior to starting Perflo, the founders had worked in various companies and across multiple industries, experiencing a variety of both great, and not so great managers, as well as worked in both low and high performing teams, and realized there were two things blocking everyone from being on the same page. Communication and incentives. Communication is broken in a lot of projects and we wanted to find a way technology could help us improve it. Incentives are another key reason why team alignment and project cohesion is negatively affected. Individual goals and individual rewards are the status quo, yet everyone works in teams, it doesn’t make sense? Many things bothered us about team management, performance and the way projects are managed. So we began to work with the experts and brought together proven methods to create a new formula for project success. We’re proud of what Perflo has turned into and we will continue to innovate in the space as well as act on the feedback from our customers and users. We hope to revolutionize the way teams execute projects around the world. Not for the sake of a revolution, for the sake of going to work on a Monday morning with a smile. :)

Craig Mackay, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Sharktower AI With over 20 years of delivering projects and seeing too many failures, Craig is obsessed with tackling the waste in projects.
Craig has spent his whole career delivering change; whether it be lean process efficiency, people change, software solutions, new product propositions or large scale technology transformations. Throughout this, he has been continually frustrated by the wasted effort (and investment) in project delivery. Whether it is caused by misaligned incentives, lack of outcome clarity, a "deliver regardless" mindset, working to governance milestones or siloed manual subjective reporting - the failure rate in projects is still too high. Too many projects are still managed by slide decks, sticky notes and gut instinct. He believes businesses can make better decisions and ultimately make the world a better place. He believes project delivery can be done better if we learn from our mistakes. He believes people could be using their time more effectively if aligned on outcomes. He knows the answer is the use of data to do this. It is time to make change delivery more data-driven.
About Sharktower AI - software designed to remove waste and support enterprise agility so your business can make the most of change investment and outcomes. The aim isn’t to replace Project Managers, but to recreate at scale the insight that comes from working in smaller project team.

Susie is the has recently been described as a change-shaker which she quite likes it.she is also a mega keen first-time author.

In this episode I have a chat with Lindsay Scott, The PMO Mob Collector.
Lindsay Scott co-founded Arras People in 2002 following a career at Esso and Hewlett Packard. Following her graduation from Manchester University, Lindsay went onto work within the recruitment arm of Esso before leaving to join Hewlett Packard. At Hewlett Packard, she worked within the professional services consulting division, first as a Project Co-ordinator and then the Project Office Manager for the division.
It was during her time at Hewlett Packard, recruiting for a project office of 20+ members that Lindsay came face to face with the issues of recruiting good project management professionals.
When the opportunity came along to set up her own business she knew there was definitely a place in the UK recruitment market for a recruitment agency that really understood its subject matter.
Lindsay manages the marketing and sales function at Arras People today; in addition, she still occasionally recruits for PMO roles (because she can’t resist!) and provides careers clinics for PMO professionals. Lindsay also carries out speaking engagements on project management careers topics and can be contacted through Arras People for more information.
