The IMPACT Engine PMO™ Training and Implementation Program is the only program of its kind that shows you exactly how to build, run, and up-level your PMO in a way that helps build credibility so you can finally earn your seat at the table…all without the headaches and overwhelm that can stop you in your tracks!
It’s your turn…
are you worried about the future of your PMO?
The opportunity is right in front of you…
PMO Leaders have a unique opportunity right now to earn (and keep) a seat at the table to lead their organizations into the future.
COVID-19 and the constant state of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) have created an urgent need for PMOs to help drive greater organizational agility.
This is our time to shine and the students in my program have been killing it this year!
It’s time for you to join us.
I am in love with your program, website, training and PMO solution. I have the IMPACT acronym printed and posted at my desk. This is exactly what I needed, and I can’t say thank you enough for providing this service.
P.S. As a bonus, I’ve reviewed the IMPACT content with my sponsor, and it looks like I’ll gain approval to have the organization pay for this course. I can’t say enough great things about this program!

Get hands-on support from me!
Join a small group of your peers to work together and with me privately to share ideas and insights, hear what’s working in other organizations, and learn together from the lessons I’ve learned over the last 20 years working in and with PMOs.
Our sessions tend to focus on the leadership, management, and organizational change components of leading your organization on this journey which is why our students stay in the program year after year!
Students are growing together and supporting each other.
I love the coaching aspect and wanted to get more insights from this opportunity to broaden my perspective. I have applied several techniques, specifically when dealing with my sponsor. Your coaching took me to the NEXT LEVEL and now I’m much more prepared when dealing with working teams and senior leadership. Thank you!
Hear from current students…
And industry thought leaders…

The truth is, you can’t afford NOT to take this course if you’re serious about building and running a PMO that your business leaders NEED to help them accomplish their organizational strategy.
You aren’t buying a course, you are buying an outcome. One of the most important aspects of this program is that we teach you to think, act, talk, and LEAD like a business leader. That means you’re quickly going to develop skills that help you earn a seat at the table in the most important conversations taking place in your leadership team. They need YOU and your team to help them solve business problems and we’re going to show you exactly how to do that.
Step one is understanding the true value of your investments in your time, energy, and resources and this program will help you maximize the benefit you can see for the investment you make.
Of course, I understand that having the actual cash flow to invest can be a little trickier, especially if you’re paying for it out of pocket. That’s why we offer a payment plan through a monthly payment option or you can apply for Paypal Credit through Paypal.
Note: Many of our students get reimbursed by their business leaders once they’ve started showing how much value they are creating with what they’ve learned.
Yes, we do!
We offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
Our hope is that you’re beyond satisfied with the course and naturally, we also expect you to give your very best effort to implement the strategies we teach you, of which there will be TONS of guidance and support to walk you through exactly how to do just that. That’s why in order to be eligible for our 30-day Money Back Guarantee, you must submit proof that you did the course work and it did not work for you.

Still thinking about it?
I personally cannot wait to take you on this journey to building a high-IMPACT PMO…
I built my first PMO in 1999 completely on my own without the luxury of tons of books, courses, or the mighty Google to guide me. I had to figure it out the hard way!
That means I made some mistakes, had some wins, and ultimately found out exactly what worked and why!
Then, I started finding all of these books and courses and the power of Google became my friend…or so I thought. I’d pick up some tidbits here and there, but ultimately when I tried to do what the “traditional guidance” suggested, my business leaders were NOT happy.
They started to see us as administration and getting in the way of progress instead of accelerating progress!
It turns out that the traditional guidance or the “PMO by Google” approach are not going to get you the results you’re looking for. Trust me on that!
Should you accept my invitation to join this program, I can promise you will get the results if you do the work…and I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.
I look forward to meeting you inside the IMPACT Engine PMO™ Training Program.
Warmly,
Join us risk-free today!
As soon as you sign up, you can schedule your bonus kickstart call with Laura to walk through everything step-by-step.
