A good SteerCo can unblock decisions, align stakeholders and keep a project moving. A bad one can turn into an hour of status updates with no real outcomes.

Join us for our next PMI Queensland Lunch & Learn as we unpack how to run Steering Committee meetings that actually add value. We'll cover practical approaches to project governance, stakeholder engagement, and how to walk into your next SteerCo with confidence.

Whether you're managing a small project, a major program, or just trying to get decisions made without another round of emails, this session is for you.

📅 Friday, 5 June 2026
⏰ 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM
💲 Free for everyone

Sometimes the difference between a project that drifts and one that delivers comes down to the conversations happening around the governance table.

Last week, our PMI Queensland community came together to explore a topic that feels more relevant than ever: how we build relationships, influence outcomes and connect with people in an increasingly AI-driven world.

A big thank you to William Farmer from Dale Carnegie Australia for sharing practical insights inspired by - How to Win Friends and Influence People. While the book was first published nearly 90 years ago, many of its principles still resonate today. Listening with genuine interest, understanding different perspectives, building trust and communicating effectively remain at the heart of successful leadership and project delivery.

What made the evening particularly valuable was the discussion and engagement from our members. It was encouraging to hear different perspectives on how project professionals are navigating change, embracing new technologies and continuing to develop the human skills that make the biggest difference.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, both in person and online, and to Troocoo Brisbane for generously hosting the event.

As project managers, we're often focused on plans, schedules and deliverables. Last week was a great reminder that behind every successful project are relationships, conversations and people.

Around the middle of April, our Leadership Team, consisting of the Board and Executive Leadership, stepped away from the day-to-day and spent a weekend focusing on the future of PMI Queensland and the community we serve.

There was plenty of discussion, healthy debate, shared experiences, and no shortage of ideas. More importantly, there was a genuine commitment from everyone in the room to ensure PMI Queensland continues to be a place where project professionals can learn, connect, grow and give back.

As we looked ahead to FY27, one aspiration resonated across every conversation: creating a Bigger and Better PMI Queensland.

That means delivering greater value for our 1000+ members, strengthening our volunteer community, fostering meaningful partnerships, and creating experiences that help project professionals navigate an ever-changing world.

The plans are taking shape, the ideas are becoming actions, and we're excited for what lies ahead.

A huge thank you to all of our volunteer leaders who generously contribute their time, expertise and enthusiasm to help make PMI Queensland what it is today.

We're only just getting started.

Projects are delivered by people.

That was one of the key themes from our recent PMI Queensland Career Club Clinic with Tanya Abbey.

As Project Managers, we're often surrounded by project plans, status reports and delivery milestones. Yet throughout the evening, the conversation kept returning to a simple reality: communication, trust and relationships often have the biggest impact on project outcomes.

One of the highlights of the session was the opportunity for genuine conversation. Attendees shared experiences, challenges and lessons learned from their own projects, creating the kind of discussion that often continues long after the event finishes.

A sincere thank you to Tanya Abbey for sharing her insights, experience and practical perspective with our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussion. Your willingness to share, learn and connect is what makes the PMI Queensland community so special.

And a special thank you to Brunel for supporting the Queensland project management community and helping create opportunities for meaningful learning and connection.

As Tanya reminded us, "sometimes one genuine conversation solves more than 50 emails ever will."

Last chance to register.

Because let’s be honest…
Most projects don’t go off track because someone forgot to update the Gantt chart 😅

They usually go sideways because of miscommunication, stakeholder tension, unclear expectations, or difficult conversations that nobody wanted to have early enough.

That’s why today’s PMI Queensland May Chapter Event with William Farmer from Dale Carnegie Australia feels incredibly relevant right now.

With more than 30 years of experience helping leaders and organisations across Australia strengthen communication, influence and leadership capability, William brings practical insights that project professionals can apply immediately in real project environments.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, this is your sign.

Breaking news for project managers:

AI still refuses to join difficult stakeholder meetings on your behalf.

We checked.

So for now, PMs still need to handle:
• the “quick chat” that turns into a 45-minute escalation
• the stakeholder who says “all good” and then emails your sponsor
• and the classic:
“We’re aligned”… when absolutely nobody is aligned 😅

That’s why human skills are becoming more valuable, not less.

Join William Farmer from Dale Carnegie Australia for a practical workshop on influence, communication and navigating the people side of projects in an AI-driven world.

Because delivering projects was never just about timelines and dashboards.
It’s about people.

A reminder for tomorrow’s Career Club Clinic:

Being a Project Manager in 2026 sometimes feels like:
“Can you deliver this faster, cheaper, with less risk… and also keep everyone happy?” 😅

That’s exactly why Power Skills and Business Acumen matter more than ever.

Join Tanya Abbey tomorrow night for a practical session on stakeholder influence, leadership, communication and the business thinking helping PMs stand out in today’s market.

Because the best PMs don’t just manage timelines.
They manage alignment.

Huge thanks to Brunel for supporting the Queensland project community.
