Make Change Happen. You are in Charge.

Jackie Pelland and Courtney Smock

Change makers understand the powerful opportunities in the choices before them. In this keynote, we will share how project managers can use an understanding of both change and leadership to move projects through challenges. We will give you insights on how to make things happen when you are not the boss, but you are in charge.

The Change Experience

In this session, participants will be introduced to the change experience. We will view change through a project management lens - decision, impact & planning. Through the discussion in this session, participants will not only understand change better, but they will also understand their own experiences more. The intention of these insights is to help them lead projects more effectively.

Founded in Hills, Iowa in 1904, Hills Bank has been filled with insightful visionaries, determined co-workers, and loyal shareholders who have helped mold the rich culture and unique history we enjoy today. We have grown to become one of Iowa's largest independent banks and achieved this growth the old-fashioned way — by earning our customers' respect, one at a time. We were founded on the principle that banks should care about the people they serve and provide ways to help them prosper. With our large asset base and community orientation, we offer the advantages of a large regional bank while maintaining the responsiveness of a smaller community bank.
