    I am an experienced Project Manager with over 16 years of expertise leading complex IT/AV integration projects, programs, and PMO initiatives. Throughout my career, I’ve managed large-scale implementations across industries, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with organizational goals. Beyond execution and process optimization, I am deeply passionate about advancing mental well-being in project management. I believe that sustainable project success is built not only on strong planning and governance but also on fostering resilience, psychological safety, and mindful leadership within teams. This focus has shaped both my professional practice and my work as the author of Mindful Management: Navigating Project Success through Mental Health and Process Innovation, as well as ongoing consulting and research in organizational effectiveness and workplace mental health.

  • The Lean Startup Strategy is a method for building startups that emphasises rapid experimentation, customer feedback, and efficient use of resources to reduce the risk of failure and increase the odds of success.

    It was popularised by Eric Ries in his book The Lean Startup, and it flips the traditional “build it, launch it, hope it works” approach on its head.

    The Lean Startup method helps entrepreneurs:

    • Reduce wasted effort and investment
    • Build products people actually want
    • Increase speed to market
    • Stay adaptable in uncertain, fast-changing environments

      Hi Toyin. In my experience, the key has been slowing down enough to check in with the team. I’ve learnt that no matter how strong the plan is, if people don’t feel supported, resistance creeps in. By giving them space to share their thoughts and acknowledging what’s difficult, the transition becomes less about managing pushback and more about building confidence together.

    • Do you recognise the uncommon ways emotional intelligence manifests in leadership? Beyond the usual traits like empathy or self-regulation, emotional intelligence also appears in subtle habits like maintaining optimism in challenges.

      As projects grow more complex, emotionally intelligent leaders are better equipped to navigate conflicts, foster trust, and inspire their teams to perform at their best. How many of these rare signs can you spot in yourself?
