Online Workshop: Getting ready for transitions: Motivate, Build & Grow

10.00h – 12.00h

by Míriam Bayés

Adaptability and being able to constantly motivate, build and grow are the most relevant skills for a professional and a leader to thrive in any complex scenario. Understanding how and when to focus on the available information, making educated decisions and exploding your own talent and knowhow is crucial. However, being able to adjust and pivot in the face of uncertainty and unexpected situations, making decisions with too little or too much information and seeking collaborations for collective intelligence is an equally or even more important skillset to wield. Therefore, to be able to deploy your talent, skills, and knowledge in uncertain and complex circumstances, situations and positions requires the ability to swiftly adapt to constantly changing environments.
