But bad UX silently kills revenue, retention, user trust.

How does it look in your product:

❌ Focus on action, not on the result for the user.
❌ Complex password requirements.
❌ Two fields for the email address.
❌ Unclear question & option. 
❌ Annoying captcha.

Why does this matter for founders?
Bad UX = friction.
Friction = drop-offs.
Drop-offs = lost revenue.

Investing in clarity, consistency, and simplicity is a growth lever.

✦ Before spending more on ads, check:

→ Can users complete your core flows in seconds without thinking?
→ Are you showing users what happens next at each step?
→ Is every element earning its place, or just adding noise?

At Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner, we’ve seen micro UX cleanups increase demo bookings, reduce support tickets, and boost LTV.

Most companies still treat a design system as a visual asset.

In reality, it behaves more like infrastructure.

It's a one-time capital investment that reduces operating costs across every product, every release, and every team.

Here’s where the real financial return shows up:

1. Reduction of duplicated efforts across teams.

When teams reinvent or create their own designs for elements like spacing, colors, states, or micro-interactions, they incur the following new costs: a new desig, codebase, QA.

With a standardized token system, there is no longer any need for this cycle to occur. 

2. Component scalability across product portfolios.

A system built for a suite compounds value:
Build once → reuse for every new feature → reuse for every new product.
This is how product orgs cut delivery time by 20–40% without adding headcount.

3. Patterns decrease cognitive load and time spent deciding.

Standardizing onboarding, dashboards, permissions, navigation, or error states will eliminate debate about core design principles among teams. Instead, team members will spend more time identifying the activities that will result in increased KPIs.

4. The cost of change decreases dramatically.

With no design system: A rebrand, accessibility update, or micro-interaction change triggers weeks of redesign and recoding..

With a design system: Update the source → every product updates automatically.

✦

A strong design system improves:

- Time to market.
- Cross-platform trust.
- Developer throughput.
- Conversion and activation.

✦

Build your design system for the next three products you launch. 
You will begin seeing returns on your investment in the early years.

Therapy of the future: how we helped ensure a better patient experience by updating the design of the myReha digital platform.

myReha, created by nyra health, is a digital neurotherapy platform that helps stroke survivors and patients with neurological conditions continue recovery.

When the nyra health team, led by Mario Zusag, reached out, they had a clear goal: make the platform more consistent, intuitive, and scalable without disrupting what patients already loved.

The challenge?
Functionality was not consistent across devices, resulting in multiple users experiencing friction accessing the platform and seeking simplicity and reassurance.

So, we focused on what truly matters in healthcare design: clarity, confidence, and care.

1. We unified card designs for consistency.
2. Clarified CTAs for premium upgrades.
3. Improved streak and progress screens.
4. Optimized dashboards and navigation for clinicians and patients alike.

The Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner team fine-tuned the system to ensure it could scale fast and support nyra health’s insurance readiness and market expansion while staying deeply patient-centered.

Huge thanks to the nyra health team for trusting us with such meaningful work.

Case Study

That’s the moment most brands lose people.

In that split second when something just feels off.

You’ve felt it too.
Website that looks polished but somehow doesn’t feel real.
The words are there.
The design is fine.
But it doesn’t connect.

That’s a trust gap.
In those first few seconds, visitors are quietly asking:
→ “Is this for people like me?”
→ “Do they actually understand my problem?”
→ “Can I explore without being sold to?”

If your homepage doesn’t answer those fast, even a great product starts to feel risky.

The fix isn’t louder headlines or flashier visuals.

It’s smaller, more human details:
1. Clear language that sounds like something you’d actually say.
2. Honest proof that real people built this, not a faceless company.
3. Calm, confident design that gives users room to breathe.

Trust doesn’t start with “we’re the best.”
It starts with “we get you.”

Homepage Psychology

You can hire a designer.

Or you can hire a design brain.

One gives you beautiful screens.
The other gives you a product that thinks.

When you hire a single designer, you get skills.
When you hire a team that works as one brain, you get experience that compounds.

At Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner, our teams don’t work in silos.
The UX researcher sees what frustrates users.
The product designer connects it to business goals.
The UI designer turns it into clarity and trust.
The developer translates it into something fast and functional.

Each person covers a blind spot the others can’t.
And together, they don’t just design, they solve.

That’s the difference between design as a task and design as a system.
Between a pretty interface and a product that scales, converts, and feels effortless to use.

When founders realize this, everything changes:

1. They stop hiring portfolios.
2. They start hiring thinking systems - teams that anticipate problems before they appear, align design with ROI, and build products that last.

If you’re scaling your product, don’t just hire a designer.
Hire a brain that’s trained to think like your users and build like your business depends on it.

Website roasting

Helping people move better shouldn’t feel complicated. 

That’s what makes Rytmo such a powerful idea.

When the Rytmo team first shared their vision, it was inspiring.

They were building 

- A way for people recovering from injury or training with a specialist to feel guided, not overwhelmed.

- A way for coaches and physiotherapists to finally track movement in a way that feels intuitive.

- A way for patients to feel progress, not pressure.

Our role at Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner was simple in intention but meaningful in impact:

1. Turn complex motion-tracking technology into a visual language anyone can understand.

2. Design an interface that supports both ends (the patient and the specialist ) without friction.

3. Create a unified UX that reinforces trust, motivation, and confidence with every action.

We redesigned flows so users never feel lost.
We shaped progress screens that celebrate even small wins.
We built a design system flexible enough to scale as Rytmo grows without ever losing its gentle, supportive core.

Huge thanks to the entire Rytmo team for trusting us with something this important.

Your commitment to building a better experience for patients and specialists is real, rare, and deeply needed in the industry.

Most founders think onboarding is just a checklist.

A few tooltips, a welcome email, maybe a product tour.

Big mistake.

First 7 days don't only determine retention, they forecast lifetime value.

The best products don't "teach" features. They create habits.

Here is what distinguishes your high-LTV onboarding from the rest.

1. Show value quickly.
Don't explain — show. 
Get your users to the "aha" moment in minutes, not days. 

2. Guide behavior, not swipes. 
Organize onboarding around your user's journey, not your feature tree. 
Day 1: Solve a problem. 
Day 2: Build context. 
Day 3+: Reinforce success and add proof.

3. Make it personal. 
A marketer ≠ an engineer ≠ a founder. 
Ask one smart question, customize the flow, and you can expect 25-50% higher activation.

4. Build habit loops. 
Cue → Simple action → Instant reward. 
“Don’t lose your progress” is always better than “Complete your profile.”

4. Measure what matters. 
Forget “onboarding completed.” 
Measure: 
• Time to first value.
• % of users hitting core action Day 1.
• Retention at Day 3 and 7.

Onboarding is not your tutorial. 
It’s behavioral design. 
And as soon as you start to treat it that way, your retention will improve, as will your revenue.

Good interfaces are built for humans with roles, moods, habits.

And most “design rules” don’t cover that part.

Here are the non-obvious principles we now swear by:

1. Design for roles.

An operator, manager, and analyst can see “the same tool” but they are living three different narratives.

2. Tell a story.

Good UI behaves like a scene in a movie: each frame indicates, “Here’s what happens next.”

3. Simplicity isn’t minimalism.

It’s knowing what to conceal. A complex system should feel simple, even if it is not.

4. One action per screen.

Every screen should answer one question. The moment users have to pause, you’ve lost the moment.

5. Adapt, don’t copy.

There is no “best practice” for everybody.
A healthtech dashboard and a crypto wallet shouldn’t look/feel the same, and that’s a feature not a flaw.

6. Accessibility is a growth strategy.

It’s how you earn trust and give access to the people your competitors are forgetting.

The best interfaces don’t impress. They disappear.
You’re not noticing them because they are busy making you feel capable.

What was the last interface you loved using is, and why?

♻️ Share if you agree.
🔔 Follow Artem Borysenko for more updates!

I have looked through hundreds of product interfaces.

And most trust issues come from invisible details that are saying, "We did not care enough."

1. Text locked in images.
It seems nice... until you realize:
Google can't read it.
Screen readers aren't being able to get through it.
It is going to break on mobile.

✅ Fix: Always use proper, responsive HTML text overlaid on visuals. That communicates quality and care.

2. Stock photos with zero context.
If your visuals could go on any website, they shouldn't be on yours. 
People simply don't connect with "perfect smiles" and "handshakes in glass offices."
User's even notice when an image doesn't match what they are viewing.

✅ Fix: Use visuals with your product, actual people or even simple, authentic brand illustrations. Authenticity scales better than aesthetics.

3. Inconsistent spacing.
Uneven padding. A headline that is floating. Tight corners next to wide gaps. Users may never name the issue, but they feel it.
That feeling? Uncertainty. And uncertainty is lethal when it comes to conversion.

✅ Fix: Use a modular grid and consistent spacing system. Regular rhythm = subconscious trust.

The best design

Most founders struggle to explain their product in 10 sec.

And that’s usually why people forget it.

Founders jump into features, tech, or long backstories.
But the products that stick are the ones described with immediate clarity.

After helping dozens of teams simplify their pitch and homepage messaging, here are 3 frameworks that consistently work:

1️⃣ The “Movie Trailer” Line.
Hit emotion + problem + solution in one shot.

Structure:
“We help [audience] solve [problem] through [unique solution].”

Example:
 “We help remote teams brainstorm faster with an AI whiteboard that auto-organizes ideas.”

This gives people the whole story instantly.

2️⃣ The “Six-Second Test”. If you can answer these in one tight sentence, you’re done:
• Who it’s for.
• What it does.
• Why it’s different.
• What problem it solves.
• What outcome it creates.

Example:
 “For busy parents, our app plans healthy meals automatically — saving hours and reducing food waste.”

3️⃣ The “Anchor to the Familiar.”
When something is new, you need a shortcut.

Structure:
 “It’s like [familiar thing], but for [your context].”

Example:
 “It’s like Airbnb, but for campers.”
It reduces cognitive load and accelerates understanding.

If someone can’t repeat your product back to you after 10 seconds, you don’t have a messaging problem, you have a clarity problem.

What founders actually need from a design partner.

Across many startup projects, one pattern is clear:

Founders don’t need resources.
They need a partner with a product mindset.
That team will give you clarity, speed, and traction.
Let’s look at the difference.

1. Designers make wireframes.
Product thinkers define outcomes.

2. Designers ship features.
Product thinkers shape systems.

3. Designers follow tasks.
Product thinkers challenge assumptions.

4. Designers deliver visuals.
Product thinkers deliver clarity.

5. Designers optimize screens.
Product thinkers optimize revenue.

A design partner shouldn’t just make your product look good.
They should make your business stronger.
Because the right partner doesn’t just design interfaces,
they help you think, operate, and grow like a product company.

Last week, I tried to book a demo of a new tool.

Those 20 seconds told me everything.

Product UX failed here.
I scrolled twice. 
Clicked the wrong button. 
Didn’t find clues.
And gave up.

Review your product like a first-time user.

And try to fix UX issues.

1. Watch the heatmaps.
When a user pauses, backtracks, or clicks twice, that’s a red flag.
Confusion shows up in body language before it shows in analytics.

2. Check forms first.
Long fields. Missing confirmations. Mobile layouts that break.
Forms kill more conversions than bad marketing ever will.

3. Scan for “dead weight.”
Buttons nobody clicks. Copy nobody reads. Features nobody touches.
If it doesn’t guide the user forward, it’s friction.

4. Run 10-minute heuristic checks.
Navigation, readability, error states, consistency.

These basics sound boring, but they fix 80% of user frustration.
You don’t need a 3-month research sprint to uncover UX flaws.
You need sharp eyes, real users in mind, and the discipline to ask:
“Where does this experience break trust?”

 How to find UX problems

“$5K for a full app” should set off alarm bells.

I’ve seen founders get burned by quotes that sound too good to be true.

And here’s the reality: they usually are.

A credible app budget runs anywhere from $50K–$250K+, depending on scope and complexity. 

At $5K, what you’re really buying is a prototype, a landing MVP, or a template, not a production-grade product.

The hidden costs show up later:

✦ No discovery → scope creep and endless change requests.
✦ No QA → your users become the testers.
✦ No maintenance plan → apps break as OS versions and APIs update.
✦ No IP clarity → some “cheap shops” keep the repo keys, locking you in.
✦ No security → exposing you to compliance fines or breaches (the average costs $4.9M globally).

So what does a serious proposal include?

1. Discovery: user flows, integrations, edge cases.
2. Delivery plan: milestones, QA, release strategy.
3. Security & compliance baked in.
4. Ongoing ops & maintenance plan.

🚩 If a vendor quotes $5K for the whole thing, don’t think “deal.” 
Think “demo.”
The real bill will come later, in rewrites, downtime, or lost trust.

The smarter play: if budget is tight, scope a small, clear MVP with defined limits and a real path to production. 

That way, your “cheap” start doesn’t become an expensive rewrite.

The plan is clear, the prototype is exciting.

But there’s a quiet signal that something is wrong.

Because the MVP shape is wrong.
Too frequently, MVPs wind up created as demos.
They’re polished enough to show, broad enough to dazzle users, and thin enough that they can’t generate persistent, repeatable value.

Here’s the shift that will actually move the meter: An MVP is not the smallest version of your product. It is the smallest engine of recurring value.

That distinction forces you to ask:

1. What is the one capability users must succeed at?
2. What must be there so the system works without us holding it together manually?
3. What closes the feedback loop, not just opens it?

When you design an MVP from that perspective, you start developing outcomes:

✔ Clarity on measurable value.
✔ One solution for users with or without you.
✔ One core workflow that gains repetitive usage.
✔ Just enough automation to avoid operational drag.
✔ One feedback loop where you learn every time - how to scale.

This is how products gain traction early.
Build the smallest version of your value engine.
That’s the MVP you actually need.

The MVP You Actually Need

“How much does a website cost?”

Everyone loves the safe answer: “It depends.”

But that doesn’t help when you’re budgeting, forecasting, or explaining ROI to your board.

So here’s a straightforward breakdown.

1️⃣ Landing Page.
$1,000–$5,000
A single, conversion-driven page. Perfect for launches or campaigns.
Simple structure but every word, interaction, and visual must earn its place.

2️⃣ Small Business Website.
$5,000–$15,000
Usually 4–6 pages: Home, Services, About, Contact, and maybe a Blog.
You get custom branding, clean UI, and a structure that builds trust fast.

3️⃣ eCommerce Website.
$25,000–$100,000
Product listings, filters, navigation logic, checkout systems, mobile optimization.
At this tier, UX becomes critical because every friction point = abandoned carts.

4️⃣ SaaS Marketing Website.
$75,000–$300,000
Your website becomes part of the product experience.
It must tell your story, guide users to demos, handle content, and match your product’s design language.

5️⃣ Enterprise Website.
$20,000–$100,000+
Think of it as a digital ecosystem:
Dozens of templates, multilingual support, role-based navigation, integrations, governance rules.

The real question isn’t the price.
A website is your 24/7 sales team.
If it doesn’t convert, educate, or build trust, the real cost is the revenue you’re not capturing.

So instead of asking: “How much does a website cost?”
Ask: “How much is a weak website costing me every month?”

The hardest thing about building an AI product is getting people to trust what it does.

You can create a great model all you want, but as soon as users feel the slightest bit of uncertainty, they are going to ponder, hesitate, and leave.

When founders build trust into the product experience, three things happen fast.

1. Users stop second-guessing and start exploring. First session activation goes up because they understand the what and whys.

2. Every click of trust compounds itself into usage, retention, and upsell. Without trust, the best AI feature will remain unused.

3. You do not have to wait for product market fit to learn how users actually feel. Trust patterns can save you weeks of guessing, and reduce the launch chaos.

4. Transparent UX with design-based trust cuts confusion before it even reaches support. No more "I am left wondering why it said that?" tickets or bad reviews for hallucinations.

Most AI products are built for power. 
The real winners are built for confidence.

Design Patterns For AI Interfaces

Every product fosters feelings.

Slack develops curiosity (you check threads). 
LinkedIn develops affirmation (you observe reactions). 
Airbnb develops trust (you reside within somebody else's space). 
Uber develops control (you follow the car, the route, the pricing).

The emotional loop your product supports, becomes the habit that makes users return - or leave.

And here is where many teams miss.
Your design doesn't just support feelings. It influences them.

✦

For every engagement, a micro-feeling is triggered - frustration, relief, pride, fear. 
These micro-feelings accumulate into a memory. 
Then memory drives retention.

Behavioral design studies confirmed that:

✦ Positive feelings (clarity, control, competence) are proven to increase engagement by 30-40%.

✦ Unresolved frustration (human error, waiting, loss of context) is the leading cause of churn within SaaS and consumer apps.

So when your UX creates anxiety (loading uncertainty, unclear steps, overwhelming dashboards) - the user has accomplished their task, but subconsciously will avoid returning.

Ways to audit emotional design in your product.

1. Avatar: the emotion you want your users to feel. (Do you want them caring, empowered, energized, etc.?) 

2. Map the emotion to each interaction. For every step: "What is this moment teaching?" 

3. Test the users' reactions, not just the usability. Record facial expressions or tone, or even keywords in a survey, after each interaction. 

4. Design feedback loop(s)- use motion, microcopy, timing, etc. to bake in positive emotions in the experience.

The only real failure is never starting.

That idea. That business. That next chapter.
The thing you keep putting off because it feels too uncomfortable.

This is your nudge to go for it.

 If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing.

The hardest part about standing out? 

You’re often standing alone.

That’s where courage matters most—and where your impact can be the greatest.

Here’s how to lead when you’re one of few:

✅ Speak Up – Bold ideas spark change. If your voice isn’t valued, find spaces that welcome it.

✅ Deliver Results – Pair creativity with measurable impact. Show how new approaches solve old problems.

✅ Stay True to Your Values – Stand firm in what matters to you. Success is most meaningful when it aligns with your principles and well-being.

✅ Lead Authentically – The most inspiring leaders aren’t perfect—they’re real. Confidence and humility create trust that drives change.

The world needs more bold leaders. Speak up and own your voice—because your perspective can inspire change.

Organizational transformation isn’t just about launching a new system—

It’s about reshaping behavior, reordering priorities, and rethinking mindsets.

And yes, it’s hard.

When the energy fades, the real leadership begins. Here’s what anchors it:

1️⃣ Small, consistent actions outperform grand gestures.
Consistency is king when shaping culture and driving real change.

2️⃣ Resistance is part of the process—it means you’re disrupting the norm.
Plan for it. Check in with your people. Adjust as needed.

3️⃣ Systems need time to recalibrate.
Progress is often invisible before it becomes exponential. Give your organization at least six months post-implementation to see tangible results.

4️⃣ Change feels slow—until it suddenly feels obvious.
Patience is a leadership virtue. People need time to adopt change.

5️⃣ Your job is to hold the vision—even when no one else can see it yet.
Stay focused on the destination. Let your team figure out the “how.” Make progress visible. Celebrate small wins.

You won’t always have clear data, fast wins, or unanimous support—but leading change means showing up anyway.

What’s the best advice you’d give someone just stepping into a change leadership role?

The only difference between ice and water is one degree. Small changes create big transformations.

If your work isn’t visible, it’s invisible to your next opportunity.

Last Wednesday, I had the incredible honor of speaking at the Northwest Indiana Influential Women Association (NWIIWA) Professional Women’s Conference.

I shared insights on strategic networking and career visibility with a room full of powerhouse women.

The topic hit home — because just one year ago, I was in their shoes.

I’d spent 17 years in manufacturing — in high-risk industries like nuclear, oil, gas, and petrochemical — delivering consistent, impactful results.

But when a manager told me I “needed more experience” for a role I had already done, it hit me.

I didn’t have a skills gap. 
I had a visibility gap.

I had let my work speak for itself for too long — and it wasn’t telling the full story.

I was first introduced to the concept of personal branding in my MBA program, and that’s when my shift began.

I began to realize that by staying silent, I was leaving space for others to define my story. In a market where visibility shapes opportunity, that silence was holding me back.

Once I saw this clearly, I started looking at the bigger picture — and the stats tell a compelling story.

👉 70–80% of jobs are never publicly posted — they’re filled through networks (The Interview Guys, 2024; Management Consulted, 2024).

👉 75% of résumés are filtered out by ATS systems before a human ever sees them (Korn Ferry Institute 2024).

And yet... many of us hesitate to tell our story.

Why?

Imposter syndrome. 
Cultural conditioning. 
Fear of sounding self-promotional.

But the more we name this, the more we can challenge it — for ourselves and for each other.

After the session, I spoke with women navigating layoffs, career transitions, fractional work, and stagnation. Many were struggling to be seen — despite significant experience and differentiated talent.

I’ve heard the same from the project management community at the recent Project Management Institute Summit. 

This is a very real conversation for many senior professionals today.

Most leaders feel like they don’t have time to develop their people—because they’re just trying to survive the week.

I’ve been there.

Bearing the weight of direction, delivery, and decisions can be overwhelming.

Leadership isn’t just about doing the work—it’s about scaling it through others.

That’s when I discovered SHU HA RI—a 3-stage development framework that helped me transfer skill faster, without burning out, and without sacrificing quality.

SHU-HA-RI gave me what most leaders are missing:
 👉 a repeatable way to build capability
 👉 clear expectations at every stage
 👉 a structure that naturally hands off ownership

Here’s how it works:

SHU – I lead, they follow. 
Repetition, structure, safety.

HA – We experiment together. 
They adapt, I co-pilot.

RI – They lead. 
I step back. Ownership is transferred.

This simple structure lightens your mental load—and builds their confidence along the way.

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t have time to teach this”—this model is for you.

Misalignment.

It hides in silence:

The blocker we didn’t flag.
The unclear priority we didn’t question.
The help we didn’t ask for.

I’ve learned—it’s almost never about lack of effort.

It’s about lacking the intentional routines that drive team alignment.

The solution? A simple 15-minute daily check-in can prevent weeks of drift.

Here’s what leaders need to know to make it work:

👉 The Power of the Daily Check-In 
↳ It’s not just about tasks—it’s about keeping the team connected, aligned, and moving together. 

👉 What Is a Daily Check-In? 
↳ A quick, structured sync that brings visibility, surfaces blockers, and reinforces shared priorities. 

👉 What Happens When You Skip It? 
↳ Misalignment creeps in—causing delays, silos, and stalled momentum. 

👉 Why It Works 
↳ It builds a repeatable structure for communication, pivots, and transparency. 

👉 The Format That Keeps It Focused 
↳ Each teammate shares four things: what I did, what I’m doing, what’s blocking me, and who I need—short and sweet. 

👉 Think of It as a Daily Reset 
↳ Even in the messiest weeks, the check-in grounds your team, fuels collaboration, and keeps momentum.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours 🦃🍁✨

Today, my heart is full.

I’m grateful for my family, my friends, and my community.

Thank you to each and every one of you — I hope your day is filled with peace, good food, and joy.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and gratitude. 

But let’s be honest – it can also feel like a logistical nightmare, especially for working parents. 

This year, I decided to take a different approach and let AI lend a hand with my Thanksgiving prep. 

Here’s how it made a difference: 

🛒 Simplified Grocery Shopping 
ChatGPT consolidated all my recipes into an organized shopping list, grouped by category for maximum efficiency. 

⏱️ Streamlined Cooking Plan 
I received a detailed timeline to optimize appliance usage and ensure all dishes were ready on time. 

🍽️ Customized Servings 
ChatGPT adjusted ingredient quantities to match the number of guests, saving money and reducing waste. 

🧠 Smart Leftover Strategy 
With repurposing ideas, nothing will go to waste. 

With a little help from ChatGPT (or your favorite AI tool), you can stay organized and have more time to enjoy the holiday with your loved ones. 

The specific prompts I used can be found in my community.

Safety Coordinator | Walking the Fine Line Between Common Sense and Chaos | Blogger – “Nailed It! Tales from a Construction Newbie”

I walked into the Professional Women’s Conference last Wednesday expecting good speakers… I did not expect to get punched in the gut by a single question: “When was the last time you lost track of time?”

That moment became my favorite part of the entire event, because it forced me to confront how often we run on autopilot instead of actually engaging with our work or ourselves. The speaker broke down stress versus micro-stress and laid out a six-step plan for building micro-rests into your day—breathing intentionally, checking in with your body, changing your scenery, listening to your needs, reaching out for support, and taking real mental breaks through journaling, meditation, or even a walk to the chickens.

What really stuck with me was her reminder that “Creativity is not Creating.” Creativity isn’t about forcing output; it’s about giving yourself permission to slow down, think, wander, and reconnect. Turns out the best ideas show up when we stop white-knuckling the day and allow a little space for the brain to breathe.

This session didn’t just inspire me—it challenged how I move through my day and how I show up for my team. And honestly? That alone was worth the price of admission.

If you want the full breakdown, I wrote about it on my blog: https://hubs.li/Q03T-mk40

If you’ve ever looked at your portfolio and thought, “Why are we still doing this?” — you’re not alone.

Last Saturday, I had the honor of presenting Zombie Initiatives: A Survival Guide for Spotting—and Escaping—Dead Weight Projects at the Project Management Institute Global Summit.

Attendees learned how to identify zombie initiatives inside their portfolios and how to create the psychological safety required to facilitate a “zombie hunt” — where stakeholders feel empowered to challenge, question, and ultimately kill work that no longer adds value.

In my session, we explored:

 🧟‍♂️ How to identify zombie initiatives hiding in your portfolio
 🧟‍♂️ How to revive work that still has value
 🧟‍♂️ How to create a psychologically safe environment to kill work that no longer serves your strategy

But the summit wasn’t just about sharing my frameworks — it was also about learning from others. 

Sessions on portfolio health and navigating Agile–Hybrid portfolios were outstanding, and I had the opportunity to exchange best practices with portfolio leaders tackling prioritization, governance, and hybrid delivery models across industries.

It was great reconnecting with leaders from last year’s PMI Educational Foundation and supporting the Light the Way Gala — a yearly reminder of the impact this community creates and a wonderful opportunity to support their mission.

If you feel invisible in the job market right now, you’re not alone.

Over the last month, I’ve heard from countless experienced professionals — women, speakers, project managers, executives, and fractional leaders — who feel stuck.

After my breakout session at the Northwest Indiana Influential Women Association (NWIIWA) Professional Women’s Conference where I shared my story of investing in my personal brand, the messages poured in from my community:

👉 “I don’t feel seen at work.”

👉 “I’m applying, but nothing is hitting.”

👉 “I know I’m qualified… but I’m not getting traction in the job market.”

Here’s the truth:

 📌 75% of résumés never reach a human being — they’re filtered out by ATS before anyone ever sees your name (Forbes, “How To Get Your Résumé Past The ATS,” 2022).

 📌 Most opportunities never hit job boards — they happen through conversations, referrals, and your digital presence.

 📌 Recruiters aren’t waiting for you to apply — they’re searching for you on LinkedIn and inside their networks.

That means this:

 ➡️ Your personal brand is now your first impression, your résumé, and the way you shape how others perceive your value.

 ➡️ If people can’t find you or identify your strengths, they can’t hire you, refer you, or sponsor you.

My business community has doubled in the last 30 days, and the number one request I get is personal branding support.
