Totally inspired by the crazy interactive documentary / experiment / experience / community that is https://uncertaintyexperts.co.uk/

Nuggets of wisdom thrown up for debate include....
Uncertainty is nothing new! Learning to recognise it, and taking time to accept it, is a great start to plotting a course forwards
Appreciating what is within your control, or possible to influence, or fundamentally outside your control creates a to-do list of things to solve, and things to accept (like Mondays, and gravity)

Stuff never goes the way we expect. If it does, then maybe it's time to set bolder ambitions. That comfort zone does not serve you well!
Developing a sense of certainty in yourselves - your products or services, and the value they can bring to your customers, is a fantastic way to lean in to the external things we cannot predict. Be amazing at your bit, know it, show it, wear it with pride - and enjoy the ride!
