A deck is a presentation that serves as a valuable tool for consolidating ideas. It helps ensure clarity within the team's execution and provides stakeholders with a clear vision of what to expect.

Today, I’d like to talk about something that affects our work: assumptions. Have you ever questioned whether you rely too much on guesswork when it comes to project details or decision-making?

I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections with you from VOUSCon, an annual conference hosted by my church. Serving at VOUSCon has been an incredible experience. Core memories!

I’ve been thinking about the impact of character in our careers. The “success” I’ve had has come from consistent character, not just skill. I’ve been granted “access” before I had skill. That’s a beautiful thing — it signals that those around you trust in you enough based mostly on character. Why? Because good character is embedded with qualities that see things through and do them well.

{Question} Hey Kary! I work with “X” Church as their art director and senior designer. I’m trying to rework our project management system for all our creative projects (design, video, etc). The not so fun part of creative! Looking at apps such as Clickup, Teamwork, Asana, Monday, all those typical ones. Do you have any advice on this for systems you use at VOUS? Or anyone else you’d recommend I talk to? Thanks for your time!!
