In an industry of constant change, creative production and project management requires personalities that are capable of being everything to everyone, all at once. The job can be stressful, at times daunting, and when the clock is ticking, you have to be sure the right personalities are holding it all together.

From strategist, creative, technologist and project manager, to motivator, therapist, gap-filler and influencer, team leads require so much more than just the hard skills a resume can identify. 

In this presentation, Scott Berchman, VP of Studio Production at Exos, will discuss qualities that are core to the production mindset:

  • Calm: the ultimate weapon
  • Expertise and Bravery: knowing enough to be dangerous(ly effective)
  • Confidence: knowing what you don’t know
  • Empathy: speaking everyone’s language
  • The FAWTSY attitude: finding a way to say yes

It was so easy to connect with the presenters - having some one-on-one time with them where I could ask specific questions was incredible!
