FOUR SEASONS - The Unexpected Journey from the White House to the C-Suite
Oftentimes, our career paths are non-linear and far from what we anticipated. In these seasons of growth and confusion, how can we lean into each opportunity to find our voice and become the best version of ourselves? Edward Young Lee shares his journey of self-discovery from working with the President of the United States to launching a viral YouTube channel to now being a Chief Communications Officer in the Bay Area.
Concurrent Sessions
Concurrent Session #1
Emotional Intelligence & Belonging for Leaders
​
When leveraged, the skills of emotional intelligence can improve relationships, enhance performance and create more equitable and compassionate environments. In this session, we will practice emotion recognition and regulation for the purposes of elevating belonging at work and within our communities.
Concurrent Session #2
Growth Mentorship
​
How would you assess Michael Scott (The Office) management style and career? What about Miranda Priestly (Devil Wears Prada)? Understand how career mapping could have helped their careers.
Career mapping can feel daunting. But if you zoom out, it empowers you to see how your experiences and choices can illuminate your path forward. Let’s have fun and play it out! We’ll breakdown characters’ careers from The Office using exercises from our Growth Program. No need to be an Office superfan to gain perspective to shape your career action plan to navigate your professional landscape!
