Leadership Lessons Learned from Working for 7 (Yes, 7) CEOs in the Best and Toughest of Times

Hailed as one of the most powerful woman on Wall Street, Ellevest founder Sallie Krawcheck is one of the only financial executives of her generation to have held multiple C-suite roles at the largest global banks. During her illustrious career, Sallie has worked directly for seven financial services CEOs (don't ask…it's a really long story) and covered many more during her days as a research analyst. Each of them worked very, very hard, each of them was incredibly smart, and each of them was human.

Sallie will share what each executive has taught her and what she witnessed as she worked with them during times of great stress…both the "what to do's" and "what to don'ts."

Acting On Your Opportunities: Perspectives from George Clooney

Every day, new opportunities arise. To advance careers. To lead change. To do good. George Clooney is an Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker recognized as much for his global humanitarian efforts as he is for his accomplishments in business and the entertainment industry. As co-founder of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, he uses his platform to advance justice through accountability for human rights abuses around the world, including fighting against inequality, defending free speech and providing free legal support to victims in over 40 countries.

During this conversation, George Clooney will share his experiences on starting new business ventures, forging partnerships, social responsibility, and seizing the moment-whether it's on the main stage or behind the scenes.

A Conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama

Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Michelle Obama never imagined that she'd become First Lady of the United States. She never imagined that one day, she would inspire people all around the world and drive historic change. As the daughter of a city water-pump operator and a stay-at-home mom, girls like her aren't supposed to do any of that.

Michelle Obama has spent her life challenging us to reconsider where that "supposed to" comes from-and who determines it.

You won't want to miss this moderated conversation with Michelle Obama, as she shares her thoughts on relationships, balancing personal and professional life, leadership, and so much more!
