Speaker #1 Abstract: Taking a Leap: From Employee to Entrepreneur

When you have an idea or a passion for something outside of your current job or company, the thought of pursuing it can be exciting, scary, or a combination of both. Leaving a sure thing for something that may work out, can be daunting, but taking that leap of faith can lead to some great things. Once you’ve taken that leap, the challenges you’ll face and the opportunities you will put the idea of personal and professional development in a new perspective. The brand you’ve built in your organization and among your colleagues can be the biggest influence on your success.
