Spill Teem Live: Design and Disruption
Every once in a while, something arises that challenges our confidence, education, "100 million" years of experience, decisions, and understanding. Ultimately, it affects our ability to lead - getting over the metaphoric wall seems impossible, so "we should just survive," right?
We couldn't disagree more!
Innovation and growth still need to take place, but more importantly, it relies on the drive to "lead through..."
To lead through chaos...
To lead through uncertainty...
To lead through disruption...
Join us for Design & Disruption A Leadership Conference. You'll hear talks from our dynamic thought-leaders on:
-
A Relationship with Disruption
-
Navigating Culture via Communication
-
Don't be afraid of the idea!
