WHY WORK WITH BRETT
20+ years of making work work better.
I've spent more than two decades helping teams navigate complicated projects, improve the way they work, and become better leaders. Along the way, I've led project management teams, advised agencies and organizations, founded Digital PM Summit, and written Project Management for Humans.
I bring a mix of operational experience, practical problem-solving, and a healthy appreciation for the messy human side of work. My goal is to help teams build better habits, stronger relationships, and ways of working that actually stick.
I’m now sharing free workbooks and practical tools alongside my articles on the Writing page. Start with A human-centered project check-in to untangle a tricky project situation and work out what to do next.

Project Management for Humans, second edition
The human side of project leadership, put into practice.
I wrote Project Management for Humans to help people lead the work that happens between the plans: difficult conversations, shifting expectations, team relationships, and decisions without perfect information. The expanded second edition brings that approach into today’s work, with fresh perspectives on human-centered leadership, AI, and the modern PM toolkit.
Give your audience something they can put to work.
I bring honest stories, practical ideas, and more than two decades of experience to keynotes, workshops, and team conversations. Every session is original and tailored to your audience, their challenges, and what you want them to take away.
