2. Self-Aware and Successful
Paraphrasing John Donne, “No wo/man is an island.” We exist and (hopefully) flourish in the messy, glorious context of a diverse world. Each of us possesses some amount of privilege relative to others and some level of awareness and skill to navigate professionally. This session will explore key concepts that help us to be self-aware and successful.
