Projects often fail for reasons that have nothing to do with tools, funding, or timelines. The real culprit is harder to see: mental energy.
Silent meetings, endless rabbit holes, and resistance to change all point to the invisible forces that drain teams and derail progress.
In this thought-provoking session, we will uncover the hidden barriers that cut into project success. We will learn how to recognize the symptoms of a “mental energy crisis,” why familiarity often beats innovation, and how to grow capacity - for yourself and for others - to make change sustainable.
Join us to discover practical ways to shift your mindset from protecting time to protecting energy, increasing buy-in, and building resilience against the subtle forces that sabotage projects.
