My best session was the session by Mayte Mata Sivera on stakeholder management. I learned a lot about the 3 Cs of connection and clarity and then courage.

Treat your job search like a project - loved this session! It really showed me that the job search process doesn’t have to be rigid you can infuse your personality into it and make it your own to stand out!!!!

The most influential session for me at Global Summit was “From Burned-Out to Burn-Bright.” So many of us never get real tools to recognize burnout or know how to fight it, and this one delivered in such a powerful way.

And honestly… the networking this year? Incredible. The moments and spaces they created made it so easy to build organic, authentic connections. It was honestly beautiful.

So true. Too many times people just say they're burnt out or you notice someone burnout too late. It was nice to see what it typically looked like before its too late.

Turning burn out to burn bright session was the most impacting session. Important to know the signs of burn out and what you can do for you and your team to avoid it or turn it to a strength before it gets too far.

The most impactful session for me at PMI Global Summit 2025 was the one led by the Purdue University Associate Professor who also serves on the PMI Central Indiana Chapter.

My key takeaways:

  1. Supporting early-career talent strengthens our profession.
  2. Mentorship is a powerful driver of confidence and growth.
  3. Creating clear, accessible pathways into project management is essential. It was a great reminder of how important it is to invest in the next generation of project leaders.

Love these takeaways!
Especially the point about making pathways clear and accessible. Mentorship isn’t just support; it’s a scalable way to build confidence and capability in our profession. Thanks for sharing!
