This follow-up session builds on the Celebrating the Solutions in Public Works webinar with Jim Proce from September 2025, offering participants additional time for Q&A and deeper discussion of the real-world challenges that often spark both frustration and innovation in public service.
Through interactive dialogue and peer exchange, participants will revisit core themes – trust, communication, culture, leadership, and accountability, while exploring practical ways to apply these concepts in their day-to-day work.
Using real-life case examples and audience-driven questions, the presenter will guide attendees in examining organizational dynamics, decision-making frameworks, and proven strategies for turning common pain points into opportunities for improvement. This highly interactive session emphasizes actionable takeaways that empower professionals at every level to strengthen relationships, build transparency, and sustain positive progress within their teams and communities.
