Program Schedule

In facing uncertainties, we also have to adapt at an accelerated pace. As Digitalents, we must continue to thrive and rise above through learning from people who have experienced adversities and turned challenges to success.

In the 3-day program, 3 highly relevant tracks will be featured:

Agility – nimble in strategies with carefully planned decisions
Grit & Growth Mindset – a leader’s mindset inspires oneself & others
Empathy – soft skills are important in keeping the state of well-being and boosting morale and confidence

We will feature STORIES on how Talent Development Leaders were able to cope with the crisis and succeed with their AGILITY.

SHARE real STRUGGLES and with the help of a learning community, they were able to uncover new potential as Digitalents.
