I'd like to attend the conference of giving feedback with Amelia Novak, because I think that give feedback to your employees can help them to improve their work.
I would like to attend all of them:)
This best way to develop our reading skills.
The workshop "Management Styles" by Helena Clark would be the most interesting for me at the moment. I would like to explore my style first and to learn how I can adapt and adjust it to my class or team in order to get better results.
working in an international team is an opportunity, it helps us to learn new things, we can improve our soft skills, and can flexibly adapt to the change.
I would like to attend Managing international projects because it,s an international projects where I can meet a lot of people from different countries and it,s would give opportunity to learn different language or improve my English speaking skills.
I think leading in uncertain times is so good, I want to know how can I deal with all different conditions and make sure everything is under control.
it makes me more responsible when I take a leadership position.
I would like to attend the Different management Styles and how can it improve to your team.
I would like to attend conflict management session because conflict usually occurs in every large or small company. If one were disable to manage it, the team would separate. As a consequence, more arguments are likely to happen at last.
me too, i would like to attend conflict management.
I want to attend "Leading in uncertain times" because most companies collapse in uncertain times, so a big leader in such times will keep his team unified by the ongoing support and bring confidence to his team members.
I choose using storytelling in leadership communication, I think is very important to look for the best way to communicate at your team what do you want or what do you expect about them in the company.
And also with this methodology the employess can learn faster in comparison with the traditional way.
to be honest, all the conference sessions sound quite interesting!, but i would attend with passion the session which discuss how leaders of small businesses can bring success to their team, that's because i intend to start my own small project, so i'd like to gain some useful, and practical tips from an expert that will save me a lot of time and effort down the track.
I would like to attend Developing creative thinking in your team , because sometimes a work team can have problems about how to solve a problem, how to develop creative ideas , so, I think I could give them some ideas so we all can work together well in the base of that idea .
I will choose the " Management styles" sessions because I think a suitable style of management is neccessary for the team's success. Therefore, finding an appropriate ones and adopting to fit the teams may be an interesting session.
It is such a great oportunity to learn about all those subjects, being sincere i would attend to all the conference, however i fancy the morning progamme, and for sure i would attend to Managing change, Using storytelling in leadership communication and Leading small businesses, the reason why i choose them its because i really need to incresed my skills as a leader and work in teams, and also for a practicall career path knowing manage businesses
I choose "Conflict Management".....working in a team with different characters/ personalities can cause problems regularly, as there is no way that you can keep everybody in a team happy. Therefore it would be nice to know how to manage starting and/ or even ongoing conflicts well.
I like all the sessions because each one has something usefull to learn, but I would like to attend "Using storytelling in leadership communication" because I need this skill in order to manage my team effictively.
I would like to attend "Using storytelling in leadership communication" and "Conflict management". In this case leader is very important to manage a team, leading a team effectively make things going well. How to communicate with the team members by using a compelling talking skill and how to avoid and deal the conflict that happen commonly in a team are a kind of management skill we should learn as a leader.
I think avoid or know manage conflicts on the job is a great ability to ownself as a team leader, also it's very important avoid conflicts on the job because that type problem just hinder the team.
I would like to be in conflicts manage session it's very interesting and important topic to me , Because I think the conflicts is opinions difference between people , This conflicts if not manage wisely it can have disastrous results in our life for what ; Only for not agree the same opinions .
I think "Using storytelling in leadership communication" and "Managing international projects" will be interesting for me, because in our live we must work with people from different nationality, culture, idea... First one maybe because I can hear something which can catch me from storytelling.
'Developing creative thinking in your team' could be interesting becasue it's a way to figure out new solutions for problem situations. That could give and extra skill for the whole work team.
I would like to attend "leading in uncertain times " session..because I think it's so challenging to lead group, give them power and seem confident when you actually not sure and struggling with uncertainty which make person anxious.. Especially someone like me 😅so I would prefer attend this session..
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.
I would like to learn about differant culture project management stylies. Its looking exciting so I would like to attand 'Managing International Projects'
And I think I need to improve my creative thinking talent so, I would like to attand also 'Developing Creative Thinking Your Team'.
i think if possible i will join all of the conference sessions here because I want to have the most comprehensive view of it myself.
I would like to attend in three conference sessions: management styles, leading small business and using storytelling in leadership communication because they help me to enhace my oral communication and improve the effectiveness teamwork.
I would like to attend think creatively. Because when you think creatively then you have many ideas to success in this world. Creative thinking leads to success
Many examples in the world you seen. New startup with new ideas are come up.
I would attend (Leading small business) with Cheng Wei because I'm curious about the differences between leading big/small business, in addition every big business started from a small one. I believe it would benefit if one day I planned to open a small business for myself! Hopefully, it will be related to my major: Computer Science!
I would attend to Using storytelling in leadership communication since I consider it is important to develop our communications skills and give them a twist from the traditional way. Sometimes we can persuade as well as give important messages taking out the formality and making the information more interesting and engaging.
Which of the conference sessions would you attend? Why?
In my opinion, the Managing international projects conference, with Alisa Petrov it's a great speech, cause in these days we have to learning how to work with others country to growing up our business. Leaders have to know how to put this cultures in their teams.
I would like to try 'Giving Feedback' because it is important for a good environment to know how to talk to people about their strengths and weaknesses and how to improve them.
They are all important and I would like to attend all of them.
