Paper and Presentation: From Insight to Impact: Elevating Leadership Through Human-Centered Project Management
Abstract: In an era defined by rapid transformation, project leaders must do more than manage timelines and deliverables — they must inspire people, foster inclusion, and build cultures of trust that fuel performance. This presentation explores how integrating human-centered leadership with traditional project management principles drives measurable results in engagement, innovation, and long-term project success.
Drawing from real-world experiences in government, consulting, and leadership coaching, Tammy M. Jones (Founder of TMaree Solutions and RiseWorks Consulting) will share frameworks that transform teams from compliance-driven to purpose-driven. Attendees will gain tools to strengthen psychological safety, enhance communication across diverse teams, and align project outcomes with organizational values.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how to lead projects through a human-centered lens that empowers rather than exhausts your teams.
- Discover actionable strategies to integrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) principles into project execution.
- Walk away with a practical “Impact Blueprint” to align leadership behaviors, team culture, and project goals for sustainable success.
This session is designed for forward-thinking project managers, HR professionals, and organizational leaders ready to move beyond checklists to create impact that endures.
