    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
