Suzy Welch delivered a half-day workshop designed to help alumni uncover the answer to one of life's most urgent yet elusive questions: “What should I do with my life?”
As part of the School's Lifelong Learning Initiative, Professor Welch shared a proven, transformational methodology that guides attendees through the profound and sometimes surprising journey of discovering their authentic purpose. Typically taught as a full-semester course to Undergraduate, MBA and Executive MBA students, this three-hour intensive -- complete with several interactive activities -- covered the most essential takeaways and left participants with a roadmap for further inquiry and self-discovery. The workshop was followed by a 90-minute reception, where alumni had the opportunity to enjoy cocktails, canapes and conversation with fellow guests and Professor Welch.
