What I’m doing right now…

(inspired by Derek Sivers)

Author

Since the second edition of Managing Multiple Projects came out in 2025, I’m busy talking about that topic and sharing it with different audiences.

I also write a weekly newsletter which is a good  way to get my thoughts on paper about the state of project management at the moment and to share the more personal insights that you don’t get to see on this blog. If you join the newsletter, you’ll also get some free project management templates.

Mentor

I continue to support my mentoring clients with one-off calls and ongoing conversations as they need. From a business perspective, I know I should be pitching packages and multiple sessions, but the reality is that most experienced project managers have 95% of what they need, and I am the 5% that helps them get unstuck so they can address whatever challenge is keeping them up at night.

I love the fact that in an hour I can dive into someone else’s world and at the end of it we have a list of practical next steps. I do have a few available spaces for new clients, so if you would like a second opinion or a trusted external, experienced project manager to talk through your issues with, then book a mentoring call here.

Speaking

Right now, I’m working full-time so finding the time to prep for and attend conferences is tricky.

I am prioritizing paid speaking opportunities and virtual events this year so if you were thinking of booking me for your event, get in touch!

Training

This year I’m going to be offering a limited calendar of training, with about one class every couple of months.

Join the newsletter to hear about upcoming training opportunities because that’s where I’ll share my calendar of events. Sometimes they get posted on the blog too, but it’s easier to miss them there.

Beyond that, I continue to provide monthly group calls to the Project Management Rebels community. We talk about the topics they bring to the table: sometimes it is 1:1 support, sometimes it is a group discussion. For example, we’ve recently spoken about ethics in project management, AI and the Agile Practice Guide, as well as regularly discussing career plans, job hunting, the state of the market and supporting each other to find jobs. We’ve had a couple of project managers land new roles as a result of being part of the group, and we have a WhatsApp group too.

Mother

It comes last on this list, but the whole point of working flexibly and having my own small business around the edges of my employment is that I can show up as a parent more easily and more often. I’m grateful that all the work I do allows me to balance work and family — long may it continue.
