Today’s economy demands more than awareness of inflation, tariffs, and shifting consumer behavior — it demands strategic conditioning. This interactive session is a fitness check for experienced leaders, led by Bentley Professor of Economics, Dr. Laura Young, who will challenge participants to pressure-test their assumptions and benchmark their decision-making strength against real-time market signals.
Using REACH Leadership Program's Think–Reflect–Apply framework, Dr. Young will unpack the macro trends shaping market performance, volatility, and long-term growth. Participants will walk away with a framework to analyze trends in real time, interpret how firms and consumers are likely to adjust, and assess the potential impact on their own business decisions for sharper market-analysis to navigate uncertainty with confidence.
Walk Away With a Framework to Build Your Own Toolkit:
THINK: Use practical insights to guide critical thinking — avoid reactive interpretation & distinguish signal vs. noise to help guide decisions to wait, hedge, or move aggressively.
REFLECT: Stress-test your assumptions and blind spots. Move from identifying to forecasting secondary & tertiary effects.
APPLY: Execute small bets to learn fast and reduce risk. Navigate uncertainty with greater confidence.
