The conference session that I'll attend is: 'Developing Creative Thinking in Your Team' with Mariana Silva, because it will help my team think more creatively and explore different ideas that can help them see things in a new way.
Cheng Wei talks about an exciting topic (leading small business) because it will teach us how to improve our business and earn money without being an employee. And absolutely I will attend to any conference talking about this topic.
Leading in uncertain times interest me because in this period in my country there are a lot of problem related with this aspect and many people go to work without enthusiasm.
As a corporate employee i'd like to attend Mariana Silva's conference. I think Developing creative thinking is a basic skill which everyone need to. for me which usually working with procedure and sistematically, creative thinking help to give more perspective for problem solving alternative especially for unusual issue.
Not only for formal occasion, creative thinking also will help us to solve daily problems even if we need to self improvement it can be work.
I would absolutely participate management styles with Helena Clerk. It is really important to learn new management styles, because nowadays we all compete with time. A leader who is able to learn new management styles and adopt his/her team will be successful.
I would attend the one that is speaking about "developing creative thinking". Occidental society and occidental management are obsessed about being the most productive team. They are doing rehearsal of basic ideas and don't really beyound the limits of them. We need to concentrat slightely more on modern task and creativity. Moreover, every employees of the teem would be able to give their ideas that are explored after to deal with change.

I would like to join the Conflict management session with Tracy Edwards. You asked why would I do that, I think because sometimes the conflicts lead to a huge problem with the team members and then the development and creativity of our business will stop and lose everything we worked for. So the person must learn how to manage a conflict and lead it.
Hello. I assume I will attend the "Leading in Uncertain Times" program with Ammar Aboud. Why Did I choose exactly this program? It's so simple, because when you are a leader of a small business you have to be confident in all your decisions and your confidence also affects your team.
First of all, I would like to attend the conference of Omar Abboud's Uncertain times. I want to learn How to tackle the uncertain suitation in our team and it will help me, to analysis the suitation. Additionally, I have to communicate with my team.I can able to sort out the suitation and bring the confidence to my team.It lead us into the success I believe.
Furthermore, I would like to attend Mariana Silva's conference. Creative thinking is vital and wonderful skill to learn in everyday life. When I working with my team, Creativity is able to connect us in a various forms of thinking in a different suitation to solve or to create something. It makes me to think out of box in a different perspective.
