What if your next project wasn't just a plan - but a story worth telling?In a world full of roadmaps, reports, and retrospectives, many projects move... but never arrive. Teams deliver - but don't transform. Meetings multiply - but rarely mean something.
Once Upon a Milestone is a guide for project managers who want more than just delivery - they want coherence, momentum, and meaning.
It offers a practical yet poetic approach to:
- Using storytelling for project managers
- Leading teams with emotional intelligence
- Turning stuck initiatives into new narratives
- Making milestones matter again
Blending narrative thinking, project practice, and psychological insight, this book helps you reconnect your team to purpose - and yourself to the reason you lead in the first place.
This is not a manifesto. Not a method. Just an invitation.- To listen more carefully
- To lead with narrative clarity
- To bring meaning back into your project leadership
Because projects don't just deliver value. They deliver meaning - if we let them.

- Experienced PMs tired of delivery without depth
- Agile leaders seeking human-centered frameworks
- Coaches and facilitators who work with teams in transition
Topics include:
- Storytelling for project managers
- Transforming stuck projects
