apr 4, 2023 | 6:00 PM | IN-PERSON EVENT | tickets: $50
Join us at the Charlotte Ideas Festival with a special evening with Kelly Corrigan!
Kelly Corrigan lights up the stage with her wit and heartfelt anecdotes. She has written four New York Times bestselling memoirs in the last decade, earning her the title of “The Poet Laureate of the ordinary” from the Huffington Post and the “voice of a generation” from O Magazine. She is curious and funny and eager to go well past the superficial in every conversation. Kelly will present on “Culture eats Strategy for Breakfast.”
Throughout her career as a journalist and interviewer extraordinaire, Kelly Corrigan has spent hundreds of hours talking with some of the most successful people in their fields in the world. With her trademark inspirational wisdom, Corrigan shares the remarkable lessons she’s learned that are relevant to all of us. The reason people succeed, she says, is because of the culture they’re in, whether at work, school or at home. If it’s one that’s empowering, anyone can be motivated to do their best. Corrigan will share stories from some of the top changemakers she’s had conversations with, from Philanthropist Melinda Gates to Dr. Atul Gawande, whose checklist manifesto is being successfully used around the world, to civil rights icon Delores Huerta. She also includes the five simple rules that can be used to create change. If you want to make a difference, this is the talk for you.
