Thursday, February 5, 6:30 to 9:30 PM
Herman Miller National Design Center, 1177 Avenues of the Americas, 17th Floor
Fee: $11
As working professionals, the bottom line is what we focus on day in and day out - crunching numbers, developing strategies, analyzing data. Often times our career choices revolve around our personal bottom lines (how much do I make to live a secure life, to make my mortgage, etc…). Unsure of what to do, we've made the safest career choice, confident that you can get back to what you love later. However, if you measure success by "more than money", what you think is your safest career choice may in fact be your riskiest. Please click here to RSVP.

Career Workshop: More Than Money
Saturday, February 7, 10 AM to 5 PM
Location: TBD
Fee: $25
A follow-up to the Mark Albion event is a one-day workshop where we will further explore and go deeper around discussing the framework of four central questions and twelve lifelines to guide you on your path to money and meaning. In an experiential one-day workshop Suparna Bhasin will offer helpful insight into asking provocative questions. Suparna will also provide real-time coaching around concerns and challenges you may face in today's world of creating a work-life balance with more meaning and purpose. Please click here to RSVP.
