Springboard: Launching Your Personal Search for Success
Success, both in one’s career and in life, can be difficult to measure and even harder to define. Professor Shell will challenge you to investigate two deeply personal questions: • How do I define success in my life? • What are my strengths and weaknesses in terms of success-oriented practices? He will help you to discover your current success beliefs in a story-filled talk on what modern social science research can teach you about the components of success, including such things as happiness, achievement, excellence, and meaningful work. Leave with some new ideas about how you can define and achieve your own “truly successful” life.
