Webinar: Getting Comfortable with being uncomfortable – Living in a VUCA-BANI World

WEBINAR: Getting Comfortable Being Uncomfortable - Living in a VUCA-BANI World

As the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu once said, 'In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.' This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence of our discussion. Chaos and discomfort are not just challenges to be overcome; they are opportunities waiting to be seized.

In this webinar, we will explore the benefits of becoming comfortable with discomfort and how it can help you develop an innovative attitude. We will discuss practical strategies for dealing with uncertainty, overcoming fear and resistance, and building resilience to handle the challenges of innovation.

Through interactive exercises and discussions, you will develop strategies to help you shift your perspective from seeing discomfort as a negative experience to an opportunity for growth and learning. You'll leave with a new appreciation for discomfort, the confidence to push your limits, and a toolkit of practical strategies for embracing innovation in your personal and professional life.
