It would be very good if you join all the conferences, so you can learn a little of everything and it will help you with future problems.
I would like to attend in three conference sessions: management styles, leading small business and using storytelling in leadership communication because they help me to enhace my oral communication and improve the effectiveness teamwork.
I would like to attend think creatively. Because when you think creatively then you have many ideas to success in this world. Creative thinking leads to success
Many examples in the world you seen. New startup with new ideas are come up.
I would attend (Leading small business) with Cheng Wei because I'm curious about the differences between leading big/small business, in addition every big business started from a small one. I believe it would benefit if one day I planned to open a small business for myself! Hopefully, it will be related to my major: Computer Science!
I would attend to Using storytelling in leadership communication since I consider it is important to develop our communications skills and give them a twist from the traditional way. Sometimes we can persuade as well as give important messages taking out the formality and making the information more interesting and engaging.
Which of the conference sessions would you attend? Why?
In my opinion, the Managing international projects conference, with Alisa Petrov it's a great speech, cause in these days we have to learning how to work with others country to growing up our business. Leaders have to know how to put this cultures in their teams.
I would like to try 'Giving Feedback' because it is important for a good environment to know how to talk to people about their strengths and weaknesses and how to improve them.
