Soft Skills are Hard Work
Equipping Managers with Success Skills for Leadership
Christina Landes, HR Reliance
In this session, we will have an interactive discussion around the soft skills and behaviors that can help a manager succeed in today’s workplace. They include collaboration, critical thinking, empathy, persistence, adaptive communication, flexibility, and more. Too often, managers with great “hard” technical skills are put into roles that require excellent people skills. This break-out will explore best practices for training in soft skills, with a major focus on leveraging the soft skills of organizational leaders through coaching and mentoring. Participants will leave with actionable ideas and tools to implement with managers in their organizations.

Critical Questions to Ask Along the Journey to Digital Transformation
Vickie Potter, TruStage
Every day, more credit unions are embracing digital transformation to deliver meaningful member experiences. Real-time data working in concert with years of intuition offers a powerful force capable of game-changing transformation. No matter where a credit union is on its digital transformation journey, there are a few key questions leaders must be asking: What behaviors are we trying to change? How does our transformation support our mission, vision and values? Can our team handle the truth? How do we avoid SOS (shiny object syndrome)? Attend this session to explore these questions and strategies for jump-starting your journey, including:
· Quantifying your readiness to become more data driven
· Tying data and analytics strategy to overall business strategy
· Hiring key talent to support your transformation
· Preparing data to support predictive analytics and models
· Partnering with business units and marketing teams to activate data insights
