#24 – Conversation with Lisa Hogben

Doc Frank chats with Lisa Hogben from Melbourne in Australia. Despite her being between jobs as her project was just put on hold, we have quite an upbeat conversation about building a project team culture, integrating minorities, women in construction, resilience and humour at work. I trust you will find Lisa as fascinating to listen to as I, so please enjoy this conversation.Show notes:1)      CBTC Kickstarter is the longest-running CBTC training in the world, but until Covid was only available for people travelling to training venues in Australia. The new online format of this training allows people from all over the world to improve their understanding of the most sophisticated technology for signalling and train control, regardless of time zone or preferred learning rhythm. This training is specifically targeted at railway professionals with little or no prior signalling knowledge whose jobs are now impacted by the introduction of CBTC for improving capacity and performance of the railway.<br/> Information and sign-up for this CBTC Kickstarter Online training is available on https://docfranktraining.podia.com/cbtckickstarter-online2023. 2)      The CBTC World Summit 2023 is the first truly global CBTC conference that does not require travel around the world to attend. Three sessions from different global regions with 18 international speakers of the highest calibre will make it an unmissable event, and all presentations are available as recordings to allow watching them all regardless of the time zone you are in. Sign up for this blockbuster event on https://docfranktraining.podia.com/summit2023.3)      The acronym NAWIC which Lisa used several times during the second part of our conversation stands for National Association of Women In Construction.
