Speaker Series
From Welfare to Harvard
From a young age, Edward's family instilled in him the importance of education. Yet, his father and mother had their personal demons, struggling with alcoholism, poverty, and mental illness. Edward and his siblings used this formative experience to overcome challenges in their lives—to learn from these obstacles—and to continue moving forward. Today, he likes to look back and tell the story of his upbringing to people of all backgrounds, many of whom find his account moving, inspirational, and many times, familiar.
Becoming Who You Are
"Leadership"—many throw this word around nowadays without thinking too much about it. Leadership is not about asserting authority, but rather inspiring and empowering others to reach their fullest potential. Edward has an idiosyncratic perspective on leadership, based on years of his cross-industry experience. This talk focuses on how to improve one's leadership skills and how to discover one's own inner calling and style.
