Communications and Public Speaking: Building Skillsets through your HobbiesTitle of Speech: Building Skillsets through your Hobbies Speech Abstract: Josh Lowry will discuss professional development through your hobbies. Often professional development training helps build skills for your next position, there aren't always opportunities to practice what you learn before entering your new role. Practicing what you learn soon after training helps you retain knowledge and build skills before moving into a role that requires that skillset, all while practicing in a safe environment. Additionally, that experience helps with both resume building and interviews, giving you ways to demonstrate your skills when applying for a new role. Josh will talk about several examples of how he has utilized this approach to develop his own skills and move into new roles in his career. Learning Objectives:

Abstract Even when strategy is clear, budgets are approved, and technology is ready, projects still stall. Why? Because execution breaks down at the human level, not because of technology. Misalignment, communication gaps, and competing work styles often slow progress more than any system or process.
In this session, participants will be introduced to a strengths-based framework that helps them better understand how individuals naturally contribute to a team and how those differences impact collaboration, decision-making, and execution. Drawing on real-world examples, this session will help project leaders identify where breakdowns are happening and how to address them more effectively.

By the end of this session, participants will walk away with:
