As we redefine how we work & collaborate more effectively during uncertain times, how do you deal with project shifts, quick turnarounds, increased workloads, and changes in business priorities?
Join us at Pinterest HQ in San Francisco for cocktails and dinner and a conversation with Liz Fosslien and Kiran Mascarenhas. We will discuss how to leverage creativity, storytelling, and AI tools to pursue excellence while navigating tough times.
One of the positive aspects of leading in tough times is that it forces leaders to rethink their behavior, retool their capabilities, and challenge their perspectives.
We invite you to shift your mindset. Let go of your comfort zones; think in new ways, and lean into your creative leadership skills when things are up in the air.
Some of the topics we'll cover
How to develop your creative confidence as a leader
Ways to develop storytelling skills to influence better decisions
How to develop risk tolerance
How to successfully navigate uncertainty, move work forward and inspire your team when you don't have all the answers
Ways to embrace emotions as a leader
How to take advantage of AI tools for interactive storytelling to help your teams perform better
