Time: 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Location: 451 Marlborough Street, Boston, MA (across the street from SOM), In Case Room 1
Speaker: Jessica DeGroot, MBA, President and Founder, ThirdPath Institute

President and founder of the ThirdPath Institute, Jessica DeGroot, will join us to discuss ways to expand our thinking and consider the issue of work/life balance more broadly—especially its relationship to leadership and career success. New research from the ThirdPath Institute reveals the ways in which women and men are actively re–designing work, family and leadership itself to create more balanced lives. We hope you can join us for a thought provoking discussion on the changes in the definition of good leadership and how this is creating exciting opportunities for innovation and creative thinking about this important issue.
