SUMMARY:Yale Ventures Lunch & Learn: Anne Spoldi\, Navigating a Career and Life You Never Planned
DESCRIPTION:​For those who are joining virtually: https://yale.zoom.us/j/92191635298 \n​Lunch and Learn with Anne Spoldi \n​The Long Way Here: Navigating a Career and Life You Never Planned \n​Most people believe successful careers and lives follow a carefully designed roadmap. Mine didn’t. \n​From scientist to marketer\, technology executive\, entrepreneur\, leadership coach\, and author\, my journey has been shaped by curiosity\, courage\, resilience\, and a willingness to embrace unexpected opportunities and life’s twists and turns. While I stopped trying to create a master plan for my life and career many years ago\, I never stopped being intentional about the choices I made along the way. \n​Using my personal Career Journey Map as a guide\, I’ll share stories\, lessons\, and practical frameworks that helped me navigate important decisions in both life and work\, including the role personal values have played in shaping my choices and transitions. \n​Along the way\, we’ll explore a belief that has shaped both my career and coaching philosophy: leadership is not a title. The first person we all need to lead is ourselves. Every one of us is leading our lives\, our choices\, our careers\, our teams\, our ideas\, or our communities. \n​Whether you’re building a venture\, pursuing research\, launching your career\, earning an advanced degree\, or considering your next chapter\, this session will encourage you to think differently about success\, leadership\, and building a meaningful career and life when the path forward isn’t always clear. \n​My hope is that you’ll leave inspired to trust yourself\, listen to your heart\, and remember that a meaningful career and life are shaped not only by the opportunities we embrace\, but by the choices we make along the way.
