I will probably choose 'Leading in Uncertain Times" by Omar Abboud because dealing with a market and an economy that is always unstable and variable can impact the team's performance. So, I would consider learning some soft skills to bring confidence to my team.
Thanks!
I would attend the conference Conflict management, because I believe it is essential, considering that people think differently and that when they come together in a team, conflicts will certainly occur.
I want to attend all the conferences. Each one seems interesting and will allow me to explore my abilities. Talking to my colleagues will enhance our team collaboration, and it will also give me new ideas.
i would attend Giving feedback conference by Amelia Novak because for me that is a skill i need to develop espicially in the workplace in the future , because sometimes you would have to give a harsh but a truth feedbacks to your coworkers or even to your boss , so you would have to be careful with your feedback .
A scheduled conference is something that must be organized and I find it impressive that they are so organized.
Coffee break: The use of storytelling in leadership communication, because I like to listen to the experiences of my superiors to use it as an example and motivate me to follow in their footsteps to achieve the success they have.
interesting topic, good.
