And you can only do that if you're a leader and you understand strategically how to navigate an organization, tactically how to navigate an organization, and then fundamentally how you communicate with that organization.” - Randy Olson, (6:41)“…Some common themes in conversations with facility management…kind of rose to the top that…the speed of change is not slowing down. It's going fast, and you've got to adapt and be able to critically think through that change.” - Randy Olson, (9:06)“...Anybody can learn how to do the plumbing aspect of [FM] or the lighting, but what's really valuable to my clients and what I got out of ProFM is…just being able to understand their day-to-day challenges. [It] is helping me become a better partner to them.” - Krystal Vasquez, (13:45)“...Everybody seeks meaning in their career and meaning to me is these individual stories where folks tell me the impact that [ProFM] had…that makes it all worthwhile.” - Randy Olson, (16:06)
