I would like to attend - Leading in uncertain times, as it will be helpful for dealing with the team at the time of uncertainty. A company can go through a phase of uncertainty in many situations. Like the market crash, immediate fall in the product demand, lack of resources, or maybe a pandemic. Hence, this session can be helpful to learn certain techniques about maintaining or even boosting confidence in the team.
