Πλοηγώντας τις μεταβάσεις: μαθήματα από μία θάλασσα αλλαγών | Danae Bezantakou | TEDxDUTH
Η Δανάη Μπεζαντάκου μοιράζεται τις καθημερινές μεταβάσεις που βιώνει, από το ρόλο της ως μητέρα και μέντορας μέχρι την ηγεσία στον επιχειρηματικό κόσμο. Αναλύει τις προκλήσεις και τις ευκαιρίες που δημιουργούνται μέσα από αυτές τις αλλαγές, ενώ παράλληλα αναδεικνύει τα μεγάλα σύγχρονα ζητήματα, όπως το brain drain, το δημογραφικό και την ψηφιακή μετάβαση. Μέσα από τη ναυτιλία, την επιχειρηματικότητα και τη δικτύωση, παρουσιάζει τρόπους με τους οποίους μπορούμε να προσαρμοστούμε και να αξιοποιήσουμε τη μετάβαση ως εργαλείο εξέλιξης.
