Project Management Masterclass

By: Brittany Wilkins
Listen for free


Project Management Masterclass is the podcast for project professionals who want to move beyond managing tasks and start leading projects with clarity, influence, and strategic thinking.


Hosted by Brittany Wilkins, founder of Makoway Consulting, author of Letters to My Sisters in Engineering, and creator of the emerging philosophy known as Execution Intelligence, this show explores what truly drives project success in today's increasingly complex environment.


Brittany built her career inside the gap between strategy and execution—the place where capable teams often struggle to turn plans into results. Through years of leading projects, advising organizations, and studying the leadership behaviors that separate successful initiatives from failed ones, she developed a simple belief:

Project success is rarely limited by effort. More often, it is limited by execution.

Each episode explores the principles, frameworks, power skills, and mindset required to navigate complexity, align teams, improve decision-making, and deliver meaningful outcomes. From leadership development and industry trends to lessons learned from real-world projects, Project Management Masterclass equips professionals with the tools needed to elevate their careers and lead with confidence.


Listeners come for the insight and stay for the practical perspective.

One listener shared:

"I listened during a road trip from Arkansas to Texas and was completely hooked. The content is relevant, inspiring, and genuinely memorable."

Another reflection from the same review:

"Your calm, articulate cadence makes the content accessible even for listeners who speak English as a second language."

    May is Mental Health Awareness Month. But awareness alone won’t fix what’s breaking project leaders.

    In this episode, Brittany Wilkins challenges the conversation around mental health in high-pressure environments and reveals the real issue: unmanaged pressure.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, delayed decisions, avoided difficult conversations, or questioned your ability to lead under pressure—this episode is for you.

    Because the truth is simple:

    Your projects don’t break first.

    You do.

    And until you learn how to manage pressure in real time, you will continue to hit the same wall—no matter how skilled or experienced you are.

    If you are ready to strengthen the skills that separate project managers from project leaders, explore the Power Skills Accelerator, a course designed to help professionals master the leadership capabilities needed to thrive in complex project environments.

    31.How to Identify Execution Collapse Before It Happens (Spirit Airlines Case Study)

    Every business is measured by its financial performance.

    Revenue. Profit. The bottom line.

    That’s what people look at when something collapses.

    But by the time the numbers reflect the problem, it’s already been there.

    There are other indicators that get overlooked.

    Decision speed starts to slow.
    Pressure builds in places no one is tracking.
    Options begin to narrow long before anyone calls it a risk.

    I didn’t look at Spirit Airlines and think this was sudden.

    I thought about how long it had probably been building.

    In this episode, I walk through what most people miss when they look at business failure.

    Not the outcome. The pattern behind it.

    Because collapse doesn’t start with financial results.

    It starts inside the system.

    And if you’re not paying attention to those signals early, you don’t get time to react. You get forced to respond.
