About this event

Fall quarter's Kemper Foundation Lecture will feature Professor Paul Corona (check out his website!)

The workshop will be on interactive leadership.

Dr. Paul L. Corona is a clinical professor of leadership in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where his teaching and coaching ratings average 96/100. He helps leaders find true fulfillment (in addition to improving their performance).

During his 36-year career, Paul has transformed himself from a businessperson into an educator. He previously held a variety of leadership roles in Fortune 500 corporations, a Big 4 accounting and consulting firm, and major research universities.

As a Leading Global Coach award winner, Paul was considered for the first Thinkers50 Marshall Goldsmith Coaching & Mentoring Award (the Thinkers50 Awards have been called “the Oscars” of management thinking). He also founded the award-winning Lee’s 3 Habits system, which helps motivated professionals build stronger relationships and achieve greater happiness – and he’s the author of The Wisdom of Walk-Ons: 7 Winning Strategies for College, Business and Life.

This is a free event.

Open to Northwestern University undergraduate students.

RSVP required.

Leadership Fulfillment

Achieve Something Even More Meaningful and Sustainable Than Success

Many successful leaders have decided it’s not enough to keep racking up accomplishments. They want something more, and it’s often difficult to specify what that means. (It seldom actually means “more.”) What they usually want is something stronger and deeper, with greater meaning: strong relationships, deep purpose and true fulfillment.

Since the beginning of recorded history, high-achievers have naturally worked toward “success” and “fulfillment.” In this workshop, you’ll get an opportunity to define these key terms for yourself.

We’ll work with a hypothesis that’s supported by scholarly research and ancient wisdom: “True fulfillment depends on strong relationships and deep purpose.” These concepts are simple to think, talk and write about but not easy to live.

Participant takeaways:

Inspiration for achieving true fulfillment
Techniques for building strong relationships
Guidelines for living a deeply purposeful life (integrating professional and personal aspirations)
A flexible plan for moving forward
A practical system for staying on track (leveraging methods supported by behavioral science)

Kapnick Center for Business Institutions

The Minor in Business Institutions offered by the Harvey Kapnick Center for Business Institutions is designed to provide Northwestern undergraduates with a rigorous introduction to business and management fundamentals. The minor is open to all Northwestern undergraduates regardless of major or home school. The minor allows them to build on the set of skills and knowledge they have acquired through other Northwestern coursework to prepare for employment in the business world. It also allows students to connect their study of business and management fundamentals to broader areas of academic inquiry both by linking the study of principles of business and management to the social science scholarship that these principles are based on and by introducing students to social science and humanities scholarship on the cultural, political, philosophical, literary and social aspects of business institutions. Therefore, the minor is not meant to serve as narrowly conceived pre-professional training. Instead the minor offers a broad multi-disciplinary perspective on a significant area of inquiry in 21st century society. Students without extensive quantitative training are particularly encouraged to apply. The minor is designed so that such students can acquire the necessary quantitative background by completing four basic prerequisite courses in mathematics, statistics and economics.
