In this presentation, I explore how the principles of curling can be applied to develop essential workplace skills such as leadership, communication, and teamwork. Drawing from my personal experiences on the ice, I illustrate how curling has honed my leadership abilities and facilitated effective communication strategies.

Moreover, I discuss the collaborative nature of the sport and its correlation with successful teamwork in professional settings. By sharing insights from running a user group, I emphasize the transferable soft skills acquired through community leadership.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how their hobbies and outside-of-work activities can contribute to their professional growth, and vice versa, making this session valuable for seasoned professionals and aspiring leaders seeking to leverage diverse experiences for career advancement.

This is a soft skill/personal development session.
