Change: abrupt and gradual endings, and new beginnings, are a guaranteed even if not comfortable part of life, and of businesses. Change happens by chance, by choice or by crisis.
At this Flux Trends Salon, you are invited to join Dion Chang, death doula, and Nikki Bush, disruption queen, in conversation about living and leading through (inevitable) disruption with grace.Through the course of the morning’s conversation, hosted by Bronwyn Williams, over coffee and cookies, you will be invited to join in a deep and wide conversation about how to grow, rather than despair through irrevocable change of any kind.
If you are interested in the future of work, teams, and leadership, we invite you to join in this critical conversation.
