About this event

When you’re looking to change careers, it’s essential to take a hard look at your skills, both where you are strong and where you need to improve. Have you given your risk skills the thought they deserve?

This thought-provoking conversation will show you why honing your risk skill set is more important than ever in these uncertain times. You’ll learn to analyze your own risk fingerprint: the risk choices you make and the often surprising influences behind them, and how it can help you to deploy risk awareness and empathy as a way to improve motivation and collaboration.

You’ll learn why it’s important to understand the difference between risk aversion and risk savvy, and how your risk skills affect change management, innovation and strategy. Finally, you’ll learn how to create a personal risk portfolio that goes beyond finance, and how to evaluate and strengthen your risk umbrella.

Takeaways

  • Why your risk choices tell the world who you are just as distinctively as a fingerprint identifies you
  • How understanding the often surprising influences on your risk fingerprint can help you make better decisions
  • Why the key skills employers need are tied to your ability to manage risk and uncertainty
  • How risk self awareness and risk empathy can improve teamwork and relationships with key stakeholders
  • What to ask about an organization’s risk culture when deciding whether or not it’s a good match for you
  • The importance of creating a healthy risk portfolio across career, health, finance, and relationships
