Excellence Through Diversity Lecture

Throughout her storied career on Wall Street and in her life, Ms. Carla Harris has developed tools, strategies, and pearls of wisdom honed by her own experience for achieving leadership success. Using her signature “Carla’s Pearls,” Ms. Harris will offer candid and actionable advice about identifying and owning your own power, positioning yourself to maximize your success as a leader, being unapologetic about your accomplishments, and taking risks. Concepts of performance currency vs. relationship currency, managing through and creating change, and how to be an impactful and influential leader will also be explored.

This lecture is sponsored by the Lore-El Center for Women’s Leadership, the Office of Graduate Student Affairs, and the Office of the President, along with generous support provided by Dianne (Smith) Szipszky '90 '91.
