Welcome to PMCX 2026

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

Locations: Chapel Hill Golf Club in Douglasville, GA and Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE) in Atlanta, GA

From Projects to Power Plays

PMCX 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 lived experience. It’s where boundaries meet breakthroughs and where professionals come to lead, heal, and grow.

PMCX is where leadership becomes lived, not just learned.
