In this series of lunchtime talks, hear from some of our most inspiring Alumni from the 2008 to 2010 class as they discuss how they steered their career to success through the challenges and difficulties of the last recession. Using examples from their own careers, invited Alumni will discuss the opportunities that emerge in times of adversity and how to build a resilient practice to ensure longevity and sustainability. Each session is followed by a Q&A chaired by a recent graduate or student.
