Session Info: Leading Yourself — and Your Team — Through Change: Practical, science-informed tools for maintaining clarity, resilience, and performance when business feels uncertain.

Running a business requires making decisions, managing uncertainty, and continuing to perform even when the path forward is unclear. Business owners must first manage their own attention, energy, and response to pressure before they can create clarity and confidence for employees, contractors, collaborators, or other stakeholders.

During this interactive session, participants would learn practical strategies to:

• Reduce mental overload and make clearer business decisions
• Prioritize effectively when everything appears urgent
• Respond intentionally rather than reactively under pressure
• Communicate uncertainty in ways that preserve confidence and trust
• Help employees, contractors, or collaborators navigate change
• Maintain accountability and momentum without accelerating burnout
