CEO Confidential - Don Knauss

Building a career, in a workplace dominated by men, is an inexact

science. An art, if you will. Everyone who has tried to do it has

questions about what they should or shouldn't do. And why. But what if

you could have a CEO as a confidante? A person at the very top of the

corporate ladder who would answer all of your pent-up questions about

the things you wish you knew but never knew who to ask about them, or

even how to ask. This session will present a "Larry King" style,

open-ended interview with an actual chief executive officer. In

addition, you get to ask questions of your own and get real-world,

honest answers that will help you shape your own career strategies.
