Welcome to PMChella 2026

Three days of learning, connection, and elevation designed for professionals who are ready to lead differently.

From Projects to Power Plays

PMChella was born from a single truth — leadership shouldn’t cost you your peace.


Founded by Tai G. Cochran, CEO of HER PM and creator of the Mindful Leader Series, this experience blends project management mastery with mindfulness, strategy, and culture. It’s where boundaries meet breakthroughs — and where professionals come to lead, heal, and grow.
