Contribute Content: Are personal reflection articles accepted?

Hi everyone, I am new to PMI (project management in general) and excited to start contributing!

I recently attended a local chapter session on stakeholder communication and alignment, and it connected in a meaningful way with some personal feedback I had just received about my own communication style as I transition into project management.

I would love to write about that experience and what I learned for the 'Contribute Content' section, but I want to make sure I am approaching it the right way first. Does a personal reflection tied to a specific session (rather than a general how-to article) fit what's typically accepted?

And for those who have contributed before, any tips on how to frame something like this so it adds real value for other readers, not just my own experience?

Thank you!

Hello Anuja - you are welcome to submit for review....a personal reflection piece doesn't disqualify from consideration, and we welcome them! Good luck!

Welcome to the community! It’s fantastic to have you here, and congratulations on taking the initiative to contribute so early in your journey.

To answer your first question: I think the answer would be yes! Personal reflections tied to real-world experiences or Chapter sessions often make for the most compelling content. Readers don't just want abstract "how-to" guides; they want authentic stories about how real PMs navigate challenges, receive feedback, and grow.

Your journey transitioning into PM is valuable, and sharing your fresh perspective is exactly what enriches this community. Looking forward to reading your article once it's posted!

Yes, personal stories are welcome if you turn your specific lesson into practical advice that helps other project managers. For example, explain exactly how you changed your communication style after the session and give readers a quick checklist to improve their own stakeholder updates.
