When risk moves from a line on a spreadsheet to a real decision with real consequences, project managers don’t get the luxury of time, perfect information, or consensus. Martin White — Navy veteran, project leader, and organizational development coach — takes audiences inside a 60-second decision he faced while leading a team. No simulations. No theory. Just pressure, uncertainty, and leadership when it mattered most.

About Our Speaker:  
Martin White is a leadership coach, PMP-certified project management professional, and U.S. Navy veteran with over two decades of experience leading teams in high-pressure, mission-critical environments. Throughout his career, he has managed complex operations, navigated uncertainty, and led teams through real-time decision-making where risk was not theoretical, but immediate and consequential.

As the founder of Outboxed LLC, Martin helps leaders and organizations build resilience, strengthen team alignment, and improve execution in demanding environments. His approach combines practical project management discipline with leadership development and organizational insight, helping teams move from reactive firefighting to intentional, structured performance.

Martin is the author of Outboxed: A Life Uncontained, a leadership memoir that explores how adversity, identity, and faith shape personal growth and decision-making under pressure. Through his speaking and coaching, he challenges project managers and leaders to lead with clarity, act decisively in uncertain moments, and maintain both performance and personal balance.

From that moment, Martin extracts a powerful framework for project managers who lead under pressure every day — when vendors fail, sponsors change direction, or silence replaces status updates. He reveals The 60-Second Rule — a practical playbook for what to do when risk becomes real.

This talk blends storytelling, humor, and hard-earned leadership lessons from combat zones to boardrooms. Attendees will walk away with tools they can apply immediately when their next high-stakes moment arrives — whether it happens in a conference room, a client call, or a crisis no one saw coming.
