Is project management being buried under buzzwords, bureaucracy, and bloated frameworks? In this bold and brutally honest episode, Mukhtar sits down with Tom Kirkman—LinkedIn power poster, seasoned project leader, and unfiltered truth-teller—to challenge the status quo of modern PM practices. Together, they unpack why certifications like PMP might be more about profit than performance, and why managing people (not just processes) is the true heart of the job.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the complexity of PMI’s frameworks, questioned whether a certification is worth the investment, or struggled to stay authentic in a world of “thought leadership theater,” this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. Real talk, real experience, and a roadmap for succeeding without selling out.
🎯 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Why PMI’s complex systems might be hurting, not helping, project managers
The truth about PMP certification—and why Tom refuses to get one
Why people skills matter more than process checklists in real-world PM
How to simplify your PM approach without sacrificing results
What it takes to build a strong, authentic presence on LinkedIn
