From studying Math at MIT to trading derivatives on Wall Street to being an entrepreneur, board member and Associate Fellow at Oxford. She talks about the Meritocracy Myth and the unconscious and conscious biases that we all face along the way. She believes that forewarned is forearmed. But the landscape is not all gloom. She gives practical advice on how to move forward with a successful career and why you’re not alone on this journey.

Finding Your Direction
Terri Duhon has had a non-linear and non-traditional career starting as a derivative trader on Wall Street to being an entrepreneur to becoming an author, Oxford University lecturer and sitting on multiple boards of large entities. But these decisions haven’t been easy or straightforward. Starting at MIT when other students seemed to know exactly what they were doing with their life, Terri just had vague dreams of doing something big. This workshop is about techniques to help identify next steps and help you identify your own path in life.
