Join Village Global and Reid Hoffman in NYC to celebrate the publication of the 10 year anniversary edition of The Startup of You.
In the new edition of the book, they show how to accelerate your career in today’s competitive world. The key is to manage your career as if it were a start-up business: a living, breathing, growing start-up of you.
Why? Start-ups—and the entrepreneurs who run them—are nimble. They invest in themselves. They build their professional networks. They take intelligent risks. They make uncertainty and volatility work to their advantage.
These are the very same skills professionals need to get ahead today.
Celebrate!
After some initial mingling, there’ll be a fireside chat where Reid and Village Global Partner, Ben Casnocha, will share discoveries, insights, and strategies from the new edition of The Startup of You.
You’ll also hear from a few attendees on the pivotal career and life decisions that changed their trajectories and launched new opportunities.
We’ll follow that with a networking reception intended to get you sharing and learning ideas for creating the work-life you desire.
