Benefits of being CPR/AED certified in the workplace:
Uncertainty has always been present in business. In the 21st century, volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity have become the standard that we all must deal with regularly. If we aren't careful, these factors can become overwhelming and lead to adversity. Being resilient in business and life has never been more important.
We don't have a professional life and personal life. We have a life. How we deal with adversity in all aspects of that life will also affect our careers.
Dan Weedin will present risk strategies, concepts, and ideas to help meeting planners prevent, respond to, and recover from adversity by becoming more resilient. He will discuss how to embrace uncertainty and create a plan to prepare for it and overcome adversity before it overcomes us.
