Most think innovation is synonymous with invention— and that to become successful, you need to come up with a shiny new product, market, or idea. But what if you don’t have to invent something entirely new or have a “Shark Tank” moment to succeed at entrepreneurship?

Join us for a lively discussion with Liz Elting— entrepreneur, philanthropist, and one of Forbes’ Richest Self-Made Women. In her forthcoming book, DREAM BIG AND WIN: Translating Passion into Purpose and Creating a Billion-Dollar Business, Liz reveals a counterintuitive approach to success and divulges practical and inspiring tips you can implement immediately to not only dream big, but also win. Her refreshingly frank and humorous recollections of lessons in life and entrepreneurship serve as a guide for anyone who seeks to fulfill their highest potential.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the true meaning of innovation and how you can harness it to succeed
• How to turn your dreams into actions
• Why failure is important and how to embrace it
