  Topic: Experience Is Not the Best Teacher

  Speaker: Ruth Easterling, CEO, On Purpose L3

  Why has experience helped some leaders and not others?

  Every leader has some kind of experience, it is what you do with the experience that matters.

  At this presentation, you will learn:

  • How our attitude toward unplanned experiences determines our growth.
  • We experience more than we understand.
  • How lack of experience is costly

  Deadline: Registration closes end of day on Tuesday, September 24th, or when capacity is reached. Ticket price includes a boxed lunch and beverage, and a small stipend for our speaker.
