Mike Roberts presented on Authentic Leadership at a PMI Santiago Chile Chapter event last week and saw this fantastic reflection on some of the messages shared by one of the attendees, Marcela Silver Fischer. (Use the Translation feature for those who don't speak Español - like Mike! 😉 )

"La semana pasada participé en un webinar de Mike Roberts, organizado por PMI Santiago Chile Chapter, que resultó realmente inspirador.
Reforzó conceptos fundamentales para ejercer liderazgo en los tiempos actuales: contextos marcados por volatilidad, cambio constante y resistencia al cambio, donde la incertidumbre se vuelve parte del día a día.

Uno de los puntos más potentes para mí y que quisiera compartir, fue su reflexión sobre el liderazgo auténtico:

💡 “𝘚𝘦𝘳 𝘶𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘦𝘯 𝘭í𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘮𝑝𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘰… 𝑝𝘦𝘳𝘰, 𝘴𝘪 𝘦𝘴𝘰 𝘯𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢, 𝘴𝘦́ 𝘭𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘶 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝑝𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘢.”

A primera vista parece contradictorio, ¿cómo puedo ser auténtica si debo cambiar? Pero en realidad no lo es. La autenticidad y la adaptabilidad no se oponen: se complementan.

El liderazgo auténtico no significa rigidez, sino coherencia. Y dentro de esa coherencia, el l𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗼 nos invita a ajustar nuestro estilo, lenguaje o foco según las necesidades del equipo y del contexto.

Desde la mirada del PMI, la adaptabilidad es una competencia clave del Project Manager moderno, especialmente en entornos inciertos y de alta complejidad. No podemos pedirle a nuestros equipos que se adapten si nosotros no lo hacemos primero.

Finalmente, es una invitación a ser un líder servidor, poner al equipo en el centro: promover su crecimiento, autonomía y bienestar, incluso si eso significa “moldearnos” un poco. Porque liderar no es imponer una forma de ser, sino crear las condiciones para que el equipo alcance su mejor versión.

✨ Que tengan una gran semana,
Marcela"

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Gina Davidovic.

Gina was one of our valued trainers and fellow PMI volunteers, known for her warmth, professionalism, and deep commitment to helping others grow in their project management careers.

Gina made a lasting impact on many of our learners and colleagues, and we know this news will come as a shock to those who had the privilege of learning from her.

We join the PMI Queensland Chapter and the wider project management community in remembering Gina and the legacy she leaves behind. Rest in peace, Gina 💙💐

We are heartbroken to share the news of Gina Davidovic's passing while she was in India, doing what she loved most—training in project management.

Gina was such a cherished friend to all of us at PMI Queensland. Her remarkable contributions as a key leader in the field of Project Management, as the Charity/NFP Lead for the Project Management Day of Service, and her role as one of our longest-serving volunteers have made a lasting impact on our community. She was a guiding light to our leaders and a true cheerleader for all of us. All with the biggest smile you can think of.

Gina, your passion, warmth, and spirit will be deeply missed. Your presence will be missed. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to have met you, for having you in our lives, and for the time we spent with you. Rest in peace, our dear friend, until we meet again.

Today, we'd like to acknowledge the work of one of Millpond's team of project managers, , who for the past two years, has been working closely with , delivering several digital transformation projects, and gaining valuable insights into the construction industry's operations at the same time. Her perspective on traffic management stops while travelling on holidays has definitely transformed during this time!
Kim has played a pivotal role in developing a company intranet and migrating the organisation to SharePoint. Beyond moving the business onto digital platforms, she has also led the implementation of a new health and safety application. Currently, she is leading the second phase, which involves launching additional modules to enhance the application further.
Reflecting on her experience, Kim expressed great satisfaction in seeing the business embrace the new tools. "It's a warm, fuzzy feeling when you see the CEO or Exec team sharing a news article on the intranet or hearing how the team is collaborating via SharePoint," she said. She has enjoyed collaborating with various internal and external team members involved in the project. It is particularly encouraging to have senior leaders supporting and leading the project from the front.
