About the Topic
In this speaker series, we have invited distinguished professionals from Fortune 500 companies in the Bay Area to share their success stories. Some have “broken through the glass ceiling” in their respective fields, others have found success in making a difference in their communities, others are breaking through personal barriers by continuously developing themselves and finding creative ways to achieve significance. There is no one way to define success but it is important to be doing work that matters to you. The objectives of the panel discussion are:
♦ To uncover insights on finding success, ♦ Learn ways to break through the glass ceiling ♦ Learn principles on finding your purpose and significance in life
o To become purposeful in making a difference at home, at work, in school, and in your community and,
o Set out to live a life that matters
What does success mean to you? Are you wanting to redefine what success means for your career and life
in general? What are the keys to success?
