A room of your own

Project management has plenty of spaces for the work. We built one for the people doing it.

You already know how to manage a schedule. Here, we talk about the career and life you are building around the work.

Am I underpaid?

How do I become more visible?

How do I stop carrying work at 10 PM?

What does “next” look like after my PMP?

How do I lead with ADHD or a nervous system that is maxed out?

How did you get into that industry?

How do I make the leap into program management?

Can someone introduce me?

Melissa Khan-Blackmore

Meet Melissa

Before I built Powerhouse, I was drowning: burnt out, underpaid, and unhappy. So I decided to do something about it. I built a career with freedom, purpose, and money, and now I’m passionate about helping you do the same.

I built the career I want more project managers to know is possible.

I’ve built a professional brand that speaks for me and a community of 80,000+. I’ve worked with thousands of project professionals and spent years helping PMs build confidence, increase their earning power, get visible, and create careers with more purpose and possibility.

The salary conversation. The burnout. The difficult boss. The next move. Building confidence. Becoming a stronger leader. Getting visible. Figuring out what else is possible.

I built Powerhouse PM so you don’t have to figure all of that out by yourself, and so becoming better at your job doesn’t have to come at the expense of building a career and life you actually want.

Employer reimbursement

Your employer may already have the budget.

Copy for your manager:

I’d like to request reimbursement for an annual Powerhouse PM Community membership ($990). The membership provides ongoing professional development, expert-led training, cross-industry project management learning, networking, and opportunities to earn PDUs toward renewing my PMI certification. I expect the learning to support my effectiveness in my current role while keeping my professional skills current.

The details

Questions before you join?

Do I need a PMP to join?

No. It is built with working PMs in mind and also welcomes people actively moving into project management. PMI certification holders can use eligible sessions toward PDU renewal.

Can I earn PDUs through the membership?

Eligible sessions and their PDU details are clearly labeled inside the community. Your renewal requirements depend on your PMI certification.

What if I cannot attend live?

Recordings and conversations keep you connected when work gets in the way. Live participation is encouraged because the relationships are a huge part of the value.

Can my company pay for my membership?

Many employers offer professional-development, learning, or certification-maintenance budgets. You will receive a payment receipt and request language to use with your manager.

Build your career. Expand your circle.

Get in the room where your next connection, idea, and opportunity can find you.

There is so much more available to you than simply managing the next project. Come build the career that makes more possible.
