About Project Management Life (PML)
Our Story
Project Management Life (PML) was created by project managers, for project managers, with one simple belief:
Project managers deserve to thrive, not just deliver project results.
We know this profession is powerful, meaningful, and deeply impactful. Project managers drive change, lead transformation, and hold organizations together during complexity and uncertainty.
But too often, the role comes with constant pressure, long hours, invisible stress, and an “always on” culture. We often focus all our energy supporting our projects and our teams and forget to practice self-care and support our overall health and well-being.
PML was founded to change that conversation.
We believe you can pursue excellence in your work without sacrificing your health, your energy, or your life outside of work.

Our Evolution
What began as a community and curated content platform has grown into something more. PML is now a space where project managers:
Strengthen leadership and career growth
Build emotional intelligence and presence
Learn to manage capacity intentionally
Develop sustainable performance habits
Connect with others who understand the journey
And increasingly, organizations are seeking us out to bring these ideas to their teams.
That’s where Human Sustainability comes in.
What is Human Sustainability?
Human Sustainability is the practice of managing energy, mindset, capacity, and well-being as intentionally as we manage scope, schedule, and budget.
For project managers, this means:
Planning capacity before burnout happens
Replacing constant firefighting with intentional systems
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Strengthening resilience and focus
Leading with emotional intelligence under pressure
Designing careers and lives that are sustainable long term
We believe sustainable performance is the future of project leadership.
And we’re committed to helping project managers lead in a way that protects both results and well-being.
We Focus on PML’s Sustainable Performance Framework™ for Project Leaders
Here at PML, we believe sustainable performance will become one of the defining leadership capabilities for project professionals in the years ahead.
Sustainable performance is the ability to deliver consistent, high-quality results without burning yourself out in the process.
Through protected focus, intentional energy management, realistic capacity planning, and professional boundary setting, project professionals are able to lead in a way that maintains clarity, resilience, and execution over time.
We offer several ways to bring sustainable performance to your team including:
- Conference and Professional Development Day Sessions
- Team Workshops
- PMI Chapter Workshops
- Half-Day and Full-Day Retreats
- PMO and Leadership Sessions
- Custom Corporate Training
- In-Person and Virtual Options
