From Friction to Freedom with Sheri Zevenbergen (Chapter Annual Meeting)
Power Skills
Project managers are experts at solving problems, optimizing processes, and keeping things moving forward. But sometimes the friction we experience in our work and relationships isn’t solved by working harder, becoming more efficient, or adding another tool. Often, the real drivers sit below the surface...our assumptions, beliefs, communication patterns, and the ways we interpret one another.In this session, we’ll explore why capable, well-intentioned people often respond to friction with more effort...and why that approach doesn’t always resolve the issue. Through relatable examples and some interactive moments, participants will experience how small shifts in awareness and communication can reduce friction...and leave with practical ways to make work feel clearer, lighter, and more sustainable.
