You'll gain insights and tools to transform your CHAOS from a negative state to a strategic advantage. Learn to see clear patterns in what now appears random and take intentional action to shape them for your benefit! – Understand and use the principles of Chaos Theory in order to take more confident action during uncertain times. – Identify existing patterns within seemingly random or unpredictable events, or within consistent recurring similar situations and obstacles. – Shape those patterns more intentionally to create dramatically better future results. At the end of this presentation, attendees are more resourceful, confident and comfortable in the midst of change, for themselves and those they lead.

Off Balance On Purpose – Improving Work-Life Alignment
