Panel: Building Harmony Not Homogeny

建立成功的球队,领导人需要正确的tools to facilitate team cohesion. Keynoter Robert Penney from Skanska joins panelists from other companies to continue the discussion of the path forward. The first step toward high-performing teams is thoughtful hiring and promoting the right individuals at all levels with an eye towards personality, skill set and diversity. You don’t need a team that is homogenous—you need a team that is harmonious. After forming a team, inspire leaders to lead with a growth mindset that involves development, strength, focus and safe improvement opportunities. Leaders also should be aware of their own strengths, improvement areas and be open to feedback from the team. Once the right people are in place, team building doesn’t happen by accident. This panel will explore how to naturally strengthen your team—both internal team members and outside stakeholders.

Workshop 3: Strategies for Success for Women, Minorities, and LGBTQ+ in AEC Careers

Entering the workforce as a first-generation Latinx college student can be daunting. Senior year students repeatedly hear the same advice: find a mentor and be open minded, adaptable, and visible. Although this is solid advice, it is challenging to realize as a new hire. In this session, we will discuss how Business Resource Groups (BRGs) help bridge the gap and act as accelerators of change of diversity and inclusion as well as business change. Two of the presenters have joined the industry within the last year and will share firsthand stories of transitioning from college to work during the pandemic. Accelerate onboarding and sense of belonging to a new organization. An experienced Latinx manager and BRG leader will share the programmatic of setting up and running a BRG and its benefits of college to work transition.

小组：收集天才：促进您下次会议的最佳实践

How many meetings have you attended where you didn’t understand the conclusion or what to do next? Have you ever attended a meeting you felt was dominated by a single individual and your voice or opinion was not heard? Have you led a meeting that felt like “pulling teeth” to get participation? Facilitation is a skill that is required in any successful relationship. Whether you realize it is happening or not, every conversation or meeting requires facilitation and is key to accomplishing any task with multiple individuals. The ability to guide as few as two people or as many as several hundred, gathering the genius in the room and guiding that genius to a conclusion is critical in effective and meaningful meetings, relationships and leadership. This discussion will help discover the keys and principles to effective facilitation and how to tackle any conversation or meeting as an effective leader.
