In this episode, Greg Wilkes welcomes Rachael Keeble, a project-management trainer, chartered builder & BuiltWell founder for a frank look at what turns an “OK” project manager into the calm, profit-driving linchpin every growing construction firm needs.

🔹 Key topics

✅ “Peace & purpose” project management – why PMs burn out and how Rachael’s framework puts them back in control 
 ✅ The founder skills-gap audit – slow down, list what you’re bad at and hire the opposite 
 ✅ Values first, CV second – write job ads that spell out your culture so A-players self-select 
 ✅ Generalist vs specialist – when you really need a PM and when you actually need a commercial lead or legal advisor 
 ✅ On-boarding that sticks – 10-minute daily check-ins, four-week road-maps and clear KPIs beat the sink-or-swim approach 
 ✅ What to look for on a CV – up-to-date CPD, broad early experience, concise communication 
 ✅ Training that matters – leadership & soft-skills now trump scheduling software as AI eats routine tasks 
 ✅ Keeping PMs happy – quarterly growth chats, ownership of systems and a lived-out values culture 
 ✅ Rachael’s quick wins for owners – daily huddles, shared dashboards, and the courage to cut mis-hires fast 

If you’re juggling projects yourself, drowning in admin or wondering why your last PM hire fizzled, Rachael’s playbook shows exactly how to recruit, embed and grow a project-management powerhouse who frees you to scale. Tune in and steal the tactics.
