Delivery got you noticed. Leadership gets you trusted.

Registration is now open for IGNITE 2026.

I often meet project leaders at the same moment in their career. The project is delivered. The numbers look good. The stakeholders are satisfied. And yet what keeps them up at night is not the timeline. It is the people. The tension in the room. The risk no dashboard captures. The decision that no template can make for them.

The world of work has shifted. Complexity has accelerated. AI is reshaping how work gets done. Expectations have not gone down. Leadership cannot stand still while everything else moves.

That is why David Barrett and I created IGNITE 2026.

IGNITE is a one day virtual leadership experience for project managers and team leads who are already carrying real responsibility and want to lead with greater clarity, confidence, and influence. We will explore the trends shaping project leadership today and what they mean for how you show up when it matters most.

If you are ready to move beyond managing work and strengthen how you lead people, we would love to see you there.

Wednesday, April 15, 2026 Virtual 9am to 5pm ET

Registration is open.
