Happy Women's Month, PMI-PH! This month, we honor the trailblazers who have shaped the project economy. As the PMBOK® Guide and PMI Talent Triangle continue to evolve, Power Skills like emotional intelligence, bias awareness, and adaptive communication are no longer just "niceto-haves"—they are critical to delivering value in complex, hybrid environments.

This Women’s Month, we celebrate the women whose leadership and service continue to shape the PMI Philippines community. Through their dedication, volunteerism, and passion for uplifting others, these leaders remind us that the strength of our community is built by people who step forward to serve. Their journeys reflect not only professional excellence, but also the heart and purpose behind leadership.

DOES THE THOUGHT OF MANAGING AN AI PROJECT MAKE YOU WANT TO HIDE BEHIND YOUR GANTTCHART?

Karla Mae Bautista Eidem is a proud Filipino-American who grew up in a household of strong women. she serves as the Global Head of Transformation and Project Delivery at the Project Management Institute (PMI).

In this 'Love Month' issue, we explore the heart of leadership—going beyond deliverables to find purpose in Social Impact projects like The Bayanihan SIM project. We spotlight a real-life PM power couple: Jo-Dale & Robelyne, help you discover your unique 'PM Love Language' , and discuss how AI is shifting from a tool to a strategic partner. Plus, check out our full Q1 Training Calendar.

Some projects build experience. Others stretch your leadership. And a few redefine what success truly means.

We know you love a good Gantt chart, but how do you show appreciation to your project team? And more importantly, how do you like to be appreciated? Just like in relationships, every Project Manager has a "Love Language"—a default style of leading, communicating, and delivering value.

Attending a Project Management Institute (PMI) event like GSS APAC Manila and others might mean encountering Leena Gupte, who leads the onsite event-support volunteers with purpose and warmth.
