In this engaging and practical session, participants will explore common reactions to change, learn how to manage uncertainty, and walk away with strategies that help them stay grounded and focused.

Participants will learn how to:

• Apply the principles of a growth mindset to reframe challenges as opportunities for learning and growth

• Understand how change affects individuals and teams across different stages of transition
