Talking Points/Questions *

Why we need to get away from viewing uncertainty as something inherently negative

• Planning vs. preparing: Why leaders need to set planning tools aside and instead go into preparation mode when facing uncertainty
• How leaders can develop a pragmatic strategy in these uncertain times (election, market volatility, etc).
• Why few economic and business decisions should be delayed entirely until after election
• How to distinguish the difference between purposeful, strategic waiting from passive waiting— as the latter will put you farther and farther behind
• Depending on who wins, immigration, trade and offshoring will be impacted— How businesses can plan for contingency NOW
• Kickers and killers for companies: Stop asking "What could happen?" and focus on these 2 questions; What could break us? (a killer) and What could make us? (a kicker)
• An brief overview of Survive, Reset, Thrive: Leading Breakthrough Growth Strategy in Volatile Times
