Uncertainty can make us feel stuck and anxious, unable to take action on our most important goals. In this talk, Elizabeth Weingarten will share ideas and tools that can help you harness uncertainty as a force to propel rather than paralyze you based on her new book, How to Fall in Love With Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty. You can expect to learn science-based strategies for navigating uncertainty, how to build a questions practice to guide you towards clarity, and why it's not necessary to "embrace uncertainty" in order to thrive in it.
