About this video

Centeno shares five project management principles he used to organize StyleCon, a major conference in Atlanta. He argues that effective project management—including staying motivated, planning strategically, breaking work into measurable pieces, having accountability partners, and building a team—can be applied to any large undertaking, from academic papers to professional initiatives.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends only committing to projects you genuinely want to do, or establish external motivators like rewards or penalties to stay engaged
• Centeno advises planning thoroughly but remaining flexible; he sought advice from successful conference organizers and adjusted his initial goal from 500 attendees to 100 to reduce risk
• Centeno stresses breaking large projects into small, measurable tasks so you can experience the motivational boost of checking items off and making visible progress
• Centeno emphasizes having an accountability partner or coach; he meets weekly with Aaron Marino to review progress and maintain momentum
• Centeno advocates building a team and delegating to people’s strengths; he hired specialists for website design, email management, video editing, social media, and graphic design
