Throughout 'A conference Program', I learned how scheduling the program is and what the role of each of participants should take place. For me, I would like to attend all sessions if they are one after one, all could be useful and worthy. However, the one that is most interesting to be attended is Managing International Projects with Alisa Petrov. In my opinion, I think it is important to be with a team multiple cultures which are positive for the successful of the project. That means it will be different minds within a team.
I would like to attend the Conflict Management course because I am currently in a conflict with my employer, and I want to learn how to manage this conflict in the best possible way.
I would attend the storytelling session, "Using storytelling in leadership communication", because I'm very interested in improving my communication skills. I think storytelling is a powerful tool for disseminating information
I would like to attend the leading small business with cheng wei. It might support to get success by starting a small business to be a big business.
I would like to attend the conflict management session, because there is no workplace without conflict, learning how to manage the conflict effectively and turn it into an opportunity for growth is valuable skill, I would like to develop this skill and apply it in my professional practice.
I would like to attend Giving feedback
with Amelia Novak because I think giving feedback is not easy. To identify what's need to be done and get better result after hearing out feeedback
I would like to attend the sesson "Developing creative thinking in your team" with Mariana Silva. It's not easy to motivate my team think creatively. I want to learn how to encourage my team to do it. This topic is useful for teachers and school leaders.
I think I would like to attend Developing creative thinking in your team with Mariana Silva. As a leader of a team, I sometimes find it difficult to motivate my team to think creatively. The result of this is the team performance will decrease significantly if the member only rely on the leader's ideas.
Great Choice
I would attend the storytelling session because I believe a great leader can really inspire people with a good story. I'm a social media manager, so I can use the ideas from the workshop to create catchy content and communicate better with my clients.
