Hope is NOT a Plan
av Kevin Pannell
You're a Project Manager and You Don't Even Know It
Om denne podkasten
Hope is important. Hope is the spark that keeps the fire inside us burning towards success. Hope without a plan is a dead-end road. Plans guide us as individuals. They unite and align our teams. Plans are static things without Action. Action brings our hope to the forefront. Action brings our plans to life. This podcast will help you link your Hope, to Plans, and Actionable results.
Hope is NOT a Plan is your weekly dose of inspiration, straight from the heart of Southwest Virginia. Hosted by Kevin Pannell, a seasoned healthcare and IT leader, this podcast is all about turning your dreams into reality.
Feeling stuck? Lost? Or maybe you just need a little push? Kevin's got you covered. With his expertise in project management, Scrum, and change management, he'll help you break down your big goals into manageable steps. Kevin shares his hard-earned lessons from leading in the US Military, deploying to disasters, and working the streets in Public Safety and Public Health, and in helping the Healthcare IT industry continue to evolve by way of leading high performing and engaged program and project teams.
Hope is NOT a Plan tenants:
- Hope ignites.
- Plans guide.
- Action transforms.
Godspeed y'all,
Kevin
