Sara Gallagher is stepping on "stage" today to address something most leaders have no idea they’re doing: sabotaging their own initiatives—sometimes before they even begin. Drawing from years of experience helping organizations fast-track their most critical efforts, she revealed how small, strategic adjustments can lead to transformative outcomes. The truth is, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘁—often without even realizing it. The opportunity to reflect on how we're leading is always there. It’s not about working harder—it’s about being aware and being deliberate. Change doesn’t happen by accident—what are you doing to lead intentionally? #thepersimmongroup #projectmanagement #projectleadership #pmoleaders

On this solemn day, we pause to reflect on the events of September 11, 2001, and honor the lives that were forever changed. We remember the courage and sacrifice of first responders, the resilience of survivors, and the profound loss felt by families and communities across the nation. As we look back on that fateful day, we also recognize the strength and unity that arose from the tragedy. It’s a reminder that even in the face of great darkness, we can find hope, compassion, and solidarity. At The Persimmon Group, we stand with all who are reflecting today, and we commit ourselves to fostering a spirit of service, empathy, and kindness in everything we do. Let us never forget the importance of coming together, supporting one another, and building a better tomorrow.
