Work with Elizabeth Harrin
Rebel’s Guide to Project Management is more than a blog. It is a long-standing professional platform supporting project managers through practical advice, research, and thought leadership.
Alongside full-time professional work, Elizabeth offers a limited number of speaking engagements, plus mentoring sessions, and collaborative opportunities each year. These engagements are selective and focused on high-value conversations that support the project management community.
If you are looking for an experienced practitioner and published author to contribute to your event, podcast, or professional initiative, you can find more details below.
Speaking and conference engagements
Elizabeth is available for selected speaking engagements at conferences, corporate events, and professional gatherings.
Typical topics include:
- Managing multiple projects
- Practical project leadership and how to get projects done
- Communication and stakeholder engagement.
Sessions can be delivered as keynotes, panel contributions, or fireside conversations. Speaking engagements are practical, grounded in real delivery experience, and aligned to audience maturity levels.
Availability is limited and scheduled around existing professional commitments.
Co-branded webinars and industry collaborations
Elizabeth collaborates with selected organizations on co-branded webinars and expert sessions.
These sessions are designed to:
- Provide practical education to project professionals
- Introduce tools or services in a credible, non-sales format
- Deliver structured insight rather than promotional messaging.
Collaborations are only considered where there is clear alignment with the audience(s).
If you are interested in hosting a joint webinar or industry event, please get in touch with your suggested proposal, budget and audience profile when making contact.
Mentoring for project professionals
A small number of one-to-one mentoring engagements are available for project managers seeking structured guidance on career progression, delivery challenges, or professional development.
Mentoring conversations typically focus on:
- Navigating complex stakeholder environments
- Moving from project manager to senior roles — job preparation, applications and interview skills
- Managing the realities of life doing the job including conflict and navigating poor processes
- Strengthening governance and reporting capability
- Anything else you want to discuss!
Mentoring is practical, structured, and based on real-world experience rather than theoretical models. Availability is limited and normally sessions take place outside of UK office hours.

- Project lifecycle management
- Practical governance
