Leaders in our highly volatile, uncertain business environment are operating in a relentless state of change – uncontrollable external forces, rapid technological advancements, fluctuating consumer and market behaviors, new competition, and moving work cultures and worker attitudes – all leading to constantly shifting business priorities and heightened expectations and pressure on leaders to perform. The more uncertain the situation, the greater the need for leadership. But for many leaders these conditions over time erode confidence, well-being, and long-term sustainability.

This session will share practical strategies and habits that help leaders manage today’s super-stressful operating conditions more effectively; maintain their own physical, mental and emotional wellness; reinforce emotional intelligence and show empathy toward others – and most of all, build resilience. Resilience – the ability to withstand and recover from shocks and setbacks – coupled with the agility to respond quickly to unexpected events and shifts in strategy – are crucial for leaders facing constant change. Leaders who model resilience inspire confidence, trust, and resilience in their teams, who in turn adapt to change and challenge as opportunities for growth.
