From the Toolbox to the Boardroom: Translating Maintenance Experience into a Facilities Management Career

Many facilities management leaders begin their careers in the trades. They develop deep technical expertise, learn how buildings work, solve complex problems, and eventually find themselves being asked to lead people, manage budgets, make strategic decisions, and communicate with executives.

But moving from "the person who fixes the problem" to "the person responsible for the organization that prevents, prioritizes, and manages the problem" requires a different set of skills.

This webinar helps maintenance and trades professionals identify the transferable skills they already possess and learn how to translate their hands-on experience into the language of facilities management leadership.

Participants will explore the transition from technical experts to organizational leaders, including leadership, communication, financial management, project management, risk management, customer service, data-driven decision-making, and strategic planning.
