LeaderTalks
the Leadertalks summit 2024 |
San Francisco | Sep 12-15
for questions, reach out to admin(at)leadertalks.us
The LeadeRTalks is a non-profit community of mid-career well-educated professionals that host regular talks/Q&A sessions with successful top managers, entrepreneurs, investors, athletes and other individuals who have studied in the US or have built their careers here. The goal of such talks for us is to understand how our speakers have achieved their professional and personal success by leading their projects and organizations despite all the challenges and adversity. Most of the talks have historically been online via Zoom (during pandemics), now we are shifting towards a hybrid approach and hosting our second summit in San Francisco on Sep 12-15.
