Generational Leadership: How Our Careers Affect & Shape Our Children

Most of the discussion and advice for work-life balance tends to focus on individual, team or company contexts. But what if other factors, like our upbringing, mattered as well? This fireside brings to the stage the career journey of Pamela Mead, an executive leader and a mother. Joining Pamela on stage will be her daughter Claire, who is at the start of her career studying Astrophysics. This is an “Ask me Anything” interview with mother and daughter, diving into the nuances of leadership decisions and the personal cost of those decisions that burden all of us and how they impact family dynamics. More interestingly, this session will give us insights into how great leadership is perceived from the child's perspective and how that influences the working model they choose.
