Registered Speaker/Contestants will each speak for 3-5 minutes on a suggested trending topic of interest from below. Our recently completed Learn & Grow Session II -- Brainstorming Workshop on Trending Topics generated a rich range of topics important to both the APA community and as professionals in general including:
- Developing one’s voice and taking ownership of your narrative;
- Effectively collaborating as unified APA community for greater visibility and impact in areas of shared interest;
- Sharing entrepreneurial and/or leadership stories and mentoring;
- Discovering one’s passion, and developing skills to pursue them to fruition;
- Communication and interpersonal skills for navigating effectively across cultures, especially in situations involving conflict – at work and at home.
