KEYNOTE SESSION

Embracing the “not–knowing”: Living in Our Contemporary World of Uncertainty - Keynote Speaker

One constant we all experience is uncertainty. Whether we are career development professionals, advancement officers, students or parents, colleagues or friends, or ordinary folk making our way in life – we all face the on-going complexities and challenges of an ever-changing, uncertain world. But what really is uncertainty? What are its consequences? What role does uncertainty play in our personal and professional lives? When does uncertainty enchant or repel us? How does it affect our emotions and physical health? In this engaging session, together we explore these and similar questions. Suggestions will also be offered which are backed by theory and practice to help you navigate “not-knowing” in your personal and professional life.

Presenter:

Dr. Janette McDonald, Founder & President, The Mindful LIfe Coach, Ltd., Capital University Professor Emerita
