Leading Through Change: Mindset Shifts for Uncertain Times
Presented By: Bank of America | Merrill
In today’s volatile and fast-changing environment, leadership success depends less on having all the answers and more on how leaders think, adapt, and respond. In this fireside chat, Mark Altman and Phil Ianniello explore how emotional agility, growth mindset, and self-awareness help executives navigate uncertainty, inspire teams, and make better decisions under pressure. Drawing from real-world dealmaking and leadership experience, they’ll share practical tools for managing change, staying grounded, and leading with confidence when the path forward isn’t always clear.
