In today’s world, highly talented women continue to face challenges that limit their success, career potential, and general life satisfaction.
To share their perspective, we interviewed 14 GSB alumnae leaders from a variety of different industries and career paths and captured their stories and wisdom in a collection of video vignettes. The vignettes are structured to spark personal reflection around one’s own values and decision-making process, which will lead to transformative learning of practical ways to address challenges.
This material has been made available to all GSB students and alumni, and the content is designed to be experienced individually, in a group discussion or with a professional coach.
