Episode 33 - The future of project management

This episode dives into the biggest shake-up in project management in years—the PMI and Agile Alliance merger—and why digital project management (DPM) might be the missing piece in this new landscape. But not before Brett relives the glory days of the Eagles’ Super Bowl win, hoping for a win this weekend at Super Bowl LIX. The Huddle We’re hitting the road—join us in person for some hands-on learning! Brett is set to facilitate a workshop at the Digital PM Summit this October in Portland, OR.Greg will be leading a workshop at Agile 2025, July 28-30 in Denver, CO.The Review The recent merger between PMI and the Agile Alliance marks a pivotal moment for the project management industry, bringing together two historically opposing methodologies under one roof. This moment presents an opportunity for DPM to take its rightful place at the table—bridging the gap between Agile’s flexibility and PMI’s structured approach to create a more effective, people-first approach to project leadership. We explore: What does this merger mean for the future of project management?How this shift could impact teams.What we’d say to PMI and Agile Alliance leaders.We also published two new Teamangle articles this week: Unlocking team creativity through structured brainstormingWhy structured brainstorming creates innovative solutionsThe Ask Want to hear more about fixing dysfunctional teams?

Episode 19 - Navigating challenges for creative teams in 2025

It's no secret that these are tough times for creative teams. They're being pushed to do more with less. Many are operating under tighter budgets, fewer resources, and higher expectations. Yet, despite these pressures, few teams are evolving their practices or processes to match the demands of this new reality. We've been there, and this week, we're discussing Brett's most recent post on Same Page, Navigating challenges for creative teams in 2025. Brett is a storyteller this week. First is his experience at a haunted prison, followed by a scarier story about when the entire UX department was cut from Happy Cog, and they had to pick up the pieces. We tried to remember the details, which we probably got wrong, but the lesson was to take care of the team first and then worry about process changes. That's partly why we developed the Teamangle, a tool to diagnose and address the heart of team performance: communication, collaboration, and culture challenges. The Ask Download our new playbook, Your Team Work, Reimagined.

Episode 38 - You have 8 seconds—make them count

The Huddle What’s top of mind for us this week? Expanding our reach. Brett joined The Agile Network as an expert, diving into conversations on Teamangle, communication, collaboration, and digital project management. It’s a whole new audience, and we’re excited to see where it leads. Meanwhile, Greg is celebrating the launch of The Field Report, our new newsletter—and the response has been better than expected! The Review: This Week’s Topic You have 8 seconds—make them count. We’re drowning in information, but attention is in short supply. Studies say our attention spans have dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds in just over a decade. Whether that’s accurate or not, one thing is clear: if your team is confused about priorities, direction, or expectations, it’s not their fault—it’s on you. We break down five key questions and discussion that leads to a laugh or two and some insights on what makes Same Team tick. We also published two new Teamangle articles this week: How diversity in planning and teamwork leads to breakthrough successThe power of inclusive planning: how to involve diverse perspectivesThe Ask We launched The Field Report, our new weekly newsletter!

Episode 44 - Burnout and empathy

This week, we talk about burnout: how it builds, how it breaks teams, and how we (as leaders and humans) need to get way better at spotting it. Also, shoutout to Pope Francis for sending a senator to empathy training. If he’s tired of the b******t, so are we. The Huddle Brett’s prepping for a new panel on explosive career moments, while Greg is mentally checking out under blue skies. Spring is here, but burnout is still top of mind. The Review Burnout isn’t just yours to manage—it’s yours to notice Burnout doesn’t show up with warning lights—it simmers quietly, undermining energy, trust, and momentum. This article outlines the phases of team burnout and makes the case for leaders to notice it early (especially in themselves). We talk through where burnout starts, how we’ve missed the signs, and which phase is the hardest to lead through. Spoiler: it’s not the one you think.

Episode 31 - Toxic tech bros and one-on-ones

While recapping his whirlwind day as a tourist in Dubai—where he presented Teamangle at the Dubai International Project Management Forum—Brett reflects on the value of meaningful connections. This ties into a critique of Airbnb’s CEO dismissing one-on-one meetings as a waste of time and comparing listening to employees to playing therapist—a mindset Brett sees as toxic bro culture masking as innovation. The discussion highlights the value of one-on-ones, the harm of toxic leadership rhetoric, and how leaders can create inclusive workplaces by fostering trust, empathy, and psychological safety. Balancing ambitious goals with supportive environments is key to better leadership. The Review This week, we discuss Brett's Same Page article, Avoiding one-on-ones? That’s not leadership, that’s toxicity and the themes of the article surrounding the need for one-on-one meetings and how toxic bro culture has no place at work, no matter the industry. Plus, this week's Teamangle topics: Encouraging every voice: making team meetings inclusiveThe transformative effect of inclusivity on team morale and success The Ask We want to hear from our listeners!

Episode 43 - Not hiding

This week, we're talking about what happens when we stop pretending everything’s fine—and why that’s harder than it sounds. If you're feeling a little fried but still showing up, this one’s for you. The Huddle We kick things off with a moment of awe (and side-eye and plenty of giggles) for Katy Perry’s Blue Origin space launch. Then we get into what’s actually on our minds: the growing sense of solidarity amid burnout. The Review What if it’s not work that’s burning us out? This episode centers around Brett’s Same Page article, which explores the more profound, more existential exhaustion many of us carry. It’s not just about jobs—it’s about the systems we live in, the instability we feel, and the pressure to perform wellness while quietly falling apart. Brett and Greg dig into the emotional weight of this moment. How burnout shows up in remote work, the disconnect between leadership and lived experience, and why we’re probably mislabeling a cultural crisis as a workplace problem. It’s a raw, reflective conversation—and the beginning of something we plan to keep talking about. Also on Same Page this week: Why psychological safety fuels creativity and problem solvingCreating psychological safety for innovation and trust The Ask Join us for our first-ever live event: The Huddle 🗓 Wednesday, May 7, 2025, 12:30–1:00pm ET Register now—it’s free!

Episode 40 - Build your own damn culture

The Huddle What’s top of mind this week? Brett’s in presentation mode, while Greg’s prepping for our first Same Team Huddle. One’s on the mic, the other’s setting the stage—both focused on better conversations. The Review: This Week’s Topic Deloitte made it official–Build your own damn culture This week, we unpack Greg’s latest Same Page column, inspired by Deloitte’s 2024 Human Capital Trends report. It challenges the myth that culture should cascade from the top, calling out how rigid systems like SAFe, EOS, and “Agile” often stifle trust and autonomy. Culture doesn’t scale—it fragments. And that’s a good thing. Microcultures drive real engagement and innovation, even if they make execs a little nervous. We explore why top-down culture fails, what default culture looks like, what real leadership requires, and how Teamangle supports culture from the inside out. Also on Same Page this week: Navigating collaborative conflict: how to turn tension into progressEmbracing conflict for stronger collaboration The Ask 🚨 If you’re not reading The Field Report, what are you even doing? 🚨 Sign up now at sameteampartners.com/subscribe and get on the ground floor—we’re only a few issues in.
