Learn from the Experts Soft Skills Presentation

Collaborated with two peers to conceptualize, design, and deliver comprehensive soft skills training presentation for JLL's USA Design team, serving as one of three subject-matter experts leading the hour-long professional development session. Developed visually compelling presentation that translated abstract soft skill concepts—including teamwork, communication, adaptability, and emotional intelligence—into engaging graphical formats that resonated with a creative professional audience navigating both design excellence and corporate collaboration.

Led dual responsibilities as both designer and presenter, creating visual storytelling framework that supported key messaging while preparing and delivering substantive content during the live session. Worked closely with co-presenters to align messaging, visual design, and delivery approach, ensuring cohesive narrative that demonstrated the practical application of soft skills within JLL's creative and corporate environment. The presentation bridged the gap between design craft and professional effectiveness, addressing skills critical to designer success but often underemphasized in creative education.
