Cindy Esliger addresses uncertainty and ambiguity in the workplace, defining exactly what they are and how they manifest. Navigating them can lead to stress and ineffective communication, among other things, so Cindy explains how to build resilience and learn to reframe the uncertain situations.  

Uncertainty arises when we don’t have the information required to make key decisions, and ambiguity is seen when we find multiple possible interpretations of the information we do have. Such situations can be stressful, can hinder our productivity, can decrease our job satisfaction, and can lead to misunderstandings. But things are not always clear at work and coping with the challenge of uncertainty allows our skills and confidence to grow.

How do we cope and even embrace them, then? Cindy lays out five reasons why accepting uncertainty and ambiguity can further our careers. There is value in facing challenges head-on and relying on our creativity and confidence to navigate such occasions. Cindy additionally shares some vital tips and strategies for overcoming the challenges that can be put into action right now in our own workplaces.
