ROUNDTABLE | TUESDAY, 4:15 - 5:15 PM PDT

Unlocking Fast Starters, Last Minuters, and Everyone In Between

In AEC firms, marketers work at the intersection of creativity, deadlines, and structure, often collaborating with teams that approach work very differently. This keynote challenges the common narrative around procrastination and productivity, showing how different work styles, when understood and communicated, can strengthen trust, collaboration, and results. Participants will explore a simple framework for identifying their own work style, reducing internal judgment, and navigating cross-functional dynamics with greater clarity. Attendees will leave with practical tools to own how they work, improve relationships across departments, and position marketing as a strategic partner rather than a last-minute responder.

Learner outcomes
  1. Own Your Style Without Shame Attendees will leave with permission to stop apologizing for how they get work done, and start advocating for themselves with clarity and confidence.
  2. Work Better with Other Types They’ll learn how to recognize and collaborate with both structured and adaptable teammates (and technical staff) by understanding the underlying patterns, not just the symptoms. 

  3. Stop Calling It Procrastination When It’s Actually Processing Reframing procrastination as a signpost, not a flaw, empowers marketers to work with their natural rhythms and still meet expectations without burnout or breakdowns.
