In this month’s New Professional Lunch and Learn webinar was with subject matter expert Willy Silcock, winner of the Emerging Leaders Presentation at RIMS in 2024. Willy talked about his winning presentation and his career path and lessons learnt so far.
Willy had some great advice including:
- Respect knowledge and diversity of thought
- Change management will be a key part of your role – with the example of just 10 years ago there was resistance to moving to recording data digitally instead of on a paper form when RAMM was introduced, and now we are introducing AI
- Learn how to build a narrative
You can view the recording of the session here, but due to a streaming issue only audio content is available for most of the webinar:
A huge thanks to Willy for his time and wisdom in this New Professionals Lunch and Learn webinar.
