Beyond Meller Notes: What I Created for Leaders and Project Managers
Two New Spaces to Help You Grow Deeper. Where to Go When You’re Ready for More Than Reflection.
I’ve been writing Meller Notes for a while now as a way to slow down, think out loud, and share what I’m learning about career, life, and trying to stay calm in the middle of everything.
But I’ve been also writing online for more than 16 years at the intersection of leadership, tech, project management, career, and personal growth.
But over time, I noticed something…
Some of you want to go deeper.
You’re not just reflecting. You’re leading teams, navigating tech challenges, or managing real projects, and you need more than reflections.
You need guides, playbooks, and systems.
Things you can apply the same day.
So I built two new spaces:
🧭 Project Management Compass (PMC)
If you’re a first-time PM, a career switcher, or just managing more complexity than ever, this is for you.
I built PMC to answer questions like:
“How do I run a kickoff meeting without sounding lost?”
“What should I write in my weekly update?”
“How do I manage stakeholders without politics ruining everything?”
Inside, you’ll find:
Practical guides
Simple templates
Weekly tools to help you manage real-world projects, not textbook theory

💻 Decoding Digital Leadership (DDL)
If you’re in the tech world and you’re trying to lead or jump to a management position (even without the title), this is for you.
DDL is for the moment when the job shifts:
From “doing the work” to “leading the work”
From figuring out tasks to figuring out people
From confusion to clarity
You’ll find:
Guides on influence, strategy, and digital team leadership
Honest takes on what leadership in tech really feels like
Tools to help you lead better, without corporate fluff

Why I Built These
Meller Notes will always be the space where I write to think. Where I share the human side of work and life.
But PMC and DDL are where I go deeper — more structure, more tools, more help.
If any of those paths speak to you, feel free to explore them. They both have premium plans, but also free options to follow along.
Thanks again for being part of Meller Notes. This space only exists because of people like you, curious, honest, and trying to grow without the noise.

I publish across a few different places, and each one has its own rhythm.

Curious how I create so much while staying focused on my career, spending time with my family, and still finding time to read? It’s simpler than it looks, because I’ve built a system that makes it possible. It takes less than 1 hour of my day - every day.
