"In 2017, a crack expert unit was put together by the PMI for a task so great, that only the best could be called upon. These PMPs promptly got together, started having some fantastic E-Mail banter and collaborating together to prepare for #PMIcon17. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can visit the PMI Ask the Experts Team."
OK....so I may have rewritten the starting intro to one of my all-time favourite TV shows but it’s also very true for the set of experts that are being lined up to be at the PMI Global Conference in Chicago next month. We all have a special set of skills and expertise to be able to support and help you with not only your Project Management issues but also any questions that you might have around being a Project Manager and maybe even career advice.
Why do you need an expert in your life?
It’s an interesting question. Why are experts valuable to you? What value do they add? To me, being an expert isn’t just about knowing the answer to a problem, it’s about coaching you to find the solution that would work best for you and supporting you in your end goal. That’s why I think it’s a great initiative of the PMI to have Experts at the Global Congress because not only can they be a source of information and guidance but also a great source of support for you throughout the investigation and resolution process.
So who am I?
I’m Emily 😊 I’m a Project Manager and Scrum Master and my aim is to help people and project develop and become stronger, leaner and more efficient. I’m a huge advocate for the ‘people’ behind projects and encouraging a strong team to deliver a successful project. My specialties include agile and agile practices, talent management, working and leading virtual teams, communication (both local, international and with cultural sensitivities), professional development and next gen project management.
I've been working in Project Management for over 10 years in various roles and I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and empowering teams with the knowledge for them to be successful.
Come to see me or any of the other experts in Chicago. We’ll be very noticeable in our fabulous polo shirts and enthusiastic smiles. I’m around throughout the conference but you can reserve a slot with me during the following time periods:
Saturday, October 28th 3:00pm – 4:30pm
Sunday, October 29th 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Monday, October 30th 9:00am – 12:00pm

Thank you for sharing about yourself, Emily. Coaches and experts help you think differently. Enjoy PMI Global!
Hello Emily! I'll see you at the Experts are in Chicago. I'm driving there -- I bet you're not.
My comment was nearly illiterate! I typically express myself better than that. I meant to say the EXPERTS AREA not 'Experts are' :-)

Emily - in my former life I was a health & wellness coach. I find many similarities between that and project management. Finding experts, bringing all the right people to table to talk it through. Facilitating problem solving and helping the team to become stronger, leaner and more efficient! Of course not everything translates, but there are some similarities. Thanks for your article.

Thanks for sharing this Emily - I was planning to attend but for so many reasons, I won't be able to. Enjoy the PMI Global.
@David - Haha! :) It'd be a little long for me to drive! :) We're going to take a plane... but I think that we're all arriving with every mode of transport!
@Lori - Thanks for taking the time to comment. I think you're right and that's why the sessions in Chicago will be so invaluable.
@Rami - What a shame :( I hope that we will get to see each other at another PMI event.
Nice post Emily.
Different from the "typical" ones but, not less interesting.
We tend to share info about everything and forget to share who we are and what is our "mission".
Tnx for posting it.
