There are literally hundreds if not thousands of articles, studies and references that speak to coping with change, dealing with change and managing the stress associated with change. Therese believes that what really matters is how you decide to look at it – the upside of change itself as a career and life choice. Inspired by the principles of the pecha kucha Therese will talk about how you can create your own story in today’s environment in which change is the only constant.
