PowerSkill 2021 - Day Three

Today is the last day of the career summit of PowerSkills 2021.

There were Interviews, Panel Discussions, Keynote, and Interactive Workshops.

I registered for 6 and there were a total of 9.

I had to jump from one session to the other due to the tight schedule.

Here is the recap:

1. Bagels and Coffee with Iris Krasnow Iris Krasnow: It was inspiring, at times very funny. A session that I wish I could sit through but I did start looking for books in the library and will check out her Tedtalk

2. Resilience in Action: A Conversation with Immigrant Leaders Isaac Garcia-Sitton, Ajibola Abitoye, Fariba Pacheleh, Amit Brahme, Conny Lo: I like the diversity of the speakers and the relevance. I heard some insightful stories

3. Career Transitions: How to Pivot in a Pandemic Priscilla Jabouin & Lionel Nseyep: I subscribed to her newsletter now I got to see her online. The animator could use some Toastmaster training though as he used a lot of you know

4. How Stories Help You Reach Happiness in Life & Business Terumi Okano: The speaker is a captivating storyteller. I wish I could stay longer for her story.

5. You have a Superpower! Reem Ghannoum

6. The Art of Persuasion: Becoming a More Persuasive Writer Zachary Abram

For me, #5 is the most engaging, energizing, entertaining and empowering session.

Words I heard and read today that stuck in my head:

The harder I work, the luckier I become. quoted by Iris Krasnow

If you are lucky enough to get a second chance at something, do not waste it. from Best Quotes of the Day

For the most inspiring, informative, educational, and motivating three days,

Thank YOU, the amazing CATS!
