Pull Up & Shine

Every last Wednesday of the month, we create space for ECPs to develop the soft skills and career competencies that turn good project managers into great ones.

Monthly sessions where ECP's take the stage

Virtual webinars, workshops, and masterclasses focused on the skills that actually matter — leadership, facilitation, employability, and showcasing your work.
About pull up & shine

Every last Wednesday of the month, we create space for ECPs to develop the soft skills and career competencies that turn good project managers into great ones. This isn’t a lecture series where you sit and take notes — it’s a stage where YOU present, moderate, facilitate, and lead.

Our philosophy

"This is not a lecture series. This is a stage."

We believe the best way to develop skills is to USE them.
That’s why our sessions feature:
  • ECPs presenting their own projects (not consultants recycling conference talks)
  • Panel moderations led by young professionals (not senior voices dominating)
  • Interactive workshops where you DO, not just listen
  • Peer learning and knowledge sharing
Aligned with PMI: More Together — Connecting you to the future of project management

Level-up podcast

Monthly episodes featuring early career PMs sharing their project wins, lessons learned, and career insights. This is where ECPs take the mic.
