I want to attend all programs from this conference. I think I will get different perspectives, knowledge and problem solving skill from each program.
Hello,
I would attend in the afternoon programme the stage with Tracey Edwards about "Conflict management" because by managing conflict well can bring about development, the problems between people at work teams or a workmate begin in a complex discussion until grow up like a "forest fire" by means, shout aloud and violence into the office.
As a result, it is important that people know how to manage conflict at work.

I want to attend Managing Change with Akira Yoshida. In the current situation and in the future, we should quickly adapt to change because technology and machines evolve frequently and improve constantly. In my opinion, we should not fear change; instead, we should face it and learn from it. If we can do this, we will be successful in our careers
Hello
I would attend Developing creative thinking in your team with Mariana Silva
Learning to see things differently can help develop new paths or innovate processes that already exist. Moreover, creative thinking is not just for work but for daily life too.
Hello,
I want to attend Management styles with Helena Clark.
I believe that if you understand and know about different management stiles and know your style can help adopt better different situations and give you better understanding how to deal or handle different problems.
We all are different by nature and it's vital to know how to navigate between different styles and personalities.
I would attend the "Developing creative thinking in your team" because I think creative thinking needs to have all of team members.
I would attend "Managing change" because change is inevitable in any organization, and learning how to help employees adapt positively would be very valuable.
I would definitely choose coffee break, lunch and conference closing because these are the best times for my body and also makes me feel almost free from this conference.
I would attend the conference with Antooine Martin about Using storytelling in leadership communication because is a topic that have relation with my career and my plans of create a entrepreneurship in setrategies for small business. I'm a believer in the power of a good storie.
