This panel of trailblazing women isn't a one-size-fits-all Ted Talk designed to make you feel great. It's about the grit, hardships and perseverance that it takes to make it to the top. During this hour-long talk, you'll experience thoughtful reflections and dialogue on what these women wish they had known when they set out to build their future. 

We'll Discuss: 

  • How to replace your hunger for approval with the desire to grow
  • Why deep work often feels elusive
  • How to prepare for the psychological challenges that arise from forging your own path.
