Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers!

PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills

Saying "no" can be one of the most IMPACTful leadership tools you can use.

Setting strategic boundaries is an often-overlooked professional skill. This practice can help you protect focus, drive real results, and model prioritization excellence for your team and stakeholders.

Learn how mastering "yes," "yes, and," and "no" can accelerate your strategy delivery and boost your organizational value.

Key Discussion Points:

• Why leadership isn't just about what you agree to do.
• How to use language to avoid overcommitting.
• The cost of not publishing a "Not Doing List."
• Three-step framework to organize priorities.
• Real-world examples of strategic prioritization in action.

👉 Press play to start learning when and how to say no.
