In today's world, it's more important than ever to be able to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity. With the pace of change accelerating, and the amount of information we're bombarded with increasing exponentially, it's becoming increasingly difficult to know what's true and what's not.
The ability to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity is therefore a critical skill for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve.

Kerryn shares her insights on the importance of embracing uncertainty and ambiguity, and how to develop the skill set to thrive in a complex world. According to her, the key is to have a "growth mindset" and to be comfortable with not knowing the answer.
Uncertainty and ambiguity can be difficult to deal with, but remember that they're also a part of life. By staying flexible, present-focused, and accepting of the situation, you can make it through anything that comes your way.
So if you're looking for ways to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in your own life, or want to learn more about how to thrive in a complex world, this episode is for you!
