Hello Reader, I've had some emails about this and I've been invited to do a podcast episode on agentic AI, so I think it's a topic that is really resonating -- I wanted to make sure you didn't miss out if you are interested in learning more. My email software tells me you didn't get round to opening the message I sent about this upcoming event (apologies if you did, it's not brilliant at detecting stuff like that), so just wanted to float it back into your inbox. AI agents aren’t just tools you query. They’re AI “teammates” that can learn your way of working, adapt to your project context, and collaborate with you to get things done. If you’re wondering what that looks like in the real world – and what it means for how we manage work – there’s a free online event coming up that I think you’ll enjoy. 📅 Date: 24 September, 10am EDT / 3pm BST / 4pm CEST 🎤 Speakers:
It's an online event run by Creatio, a global software company that provides an agentic platform for CRM and workflow automation with no-code and AI at its core. But it's less sales pitch and more thought-leadership session on the transformation of business and society in the age of AI. You'll explore:
As project managers, we’re often the ones bridging strategy and execution – which means understanding these shifts early is a real advantage. I’ll be tuning in, notebook in hand. If you’re ready to get beyond the AI hype and into the “how this actually works” territory, you can register here: 👉 Register here for the free event Have a great week! Best wishes, Elizabeth P.S. The event is free but you need to register, and I have to tell you for transparency reasons that I've partnered with Creatio to bring you this email. Hope you enjoy it! |

Hello Reader, Managing multiple projects isn’t the exception anymore, it’s the expectation. But with constant context switching, shifting deadlines, and stakeholder overload, project managers are at serious risk of burnout. Have you felt it yet? Join me, and the team at Nimble, to talk about how AI-enabled tools can support focus, reduce mental overhead, and make multi-project working more manageable, without sacrificing quality. I'll be chatting to Mahesh Singh, co-founder and CMO of...
Hello Reader, I’ve always found giving feedback a bit awkward – even positive feedback where I was praising someone for a job well done. It has got easier now I have children, because frankly I get to practice giving feedback all day at home! It’s also got easier knowing some of the theory, and while I was doing my mentoring training I got to understand several feedback methods in detail. The SBI model for giving feedback is a classic. You frame the conversation like this: S: Situation...
Hello Reader, We need to make it EASY for stakeholders to work with us. During a podcast I recorded with the Customer Success Playbook team, I shared my stakeholder prioritization grid – a tool that's helped countless project managers navigate the maze of competing expectations. But here's the real secret: it's not about managing stakeholders; it's about understanding what they value most. We shouldn’t think about ‘managing’ other people’s behaviour. Instead, think about engaging them. Here’s...
