Karagh Loring
Selling Your Rotaract Skills to Different Audiences

A lack of experience does not have to be a barrier to a new job or career. Millennials however will change jobs four times in their first decade out of college or university. This comes from a mixture of career instability, but also the millennial drive for career advancement, personal growth and progression. Speaking from my own experiences and those I have worked closely with in the past, I will describe some of the “portable” skills you can carry with you from study, Rotaract and different jobs and careers, to help guide the transition between work.

Everybody is bound to have gone through a tough time in their lives. Some of us are fortunate to pull through and move on but not everyone is just as lucky. How do we go above and beyond practicing "Service Above Self" in our modern day society that heavily revolves around social media. We are privileged to have a ton of information easily accessible at our fingertips. However, are we really using it to our full potential amidst our aimless scrolling through the internet? What are some strategies to implement in our daily lives to balance out our technological world.

Teamwork and communication skills with Shelterbox Australia
A Shelterbox Response team is made up of highly-trained volunteers that may have never met each other. They come from varying backgrounds and different countries. Clear and concise communication is essential in a disaster situation but also can be problematic due to damage to infrastructure and the remoteness of the areas in which they work. This ShelterBox exercise is designed to show the importance of developing team roles and communications plans whilst remaining task-focussed and calm under pressure. It’s also designed to be fun! I hope you will join us.
