Suzy Welch—best-selling author, professor, and tech entrepreneur—joins The Executives’ Exchange for a candid conversation with guest host Kristen Prinz. This isn’t just about her latest book, Becoming You: The Proven Method for Crafting Your Authentic Life and Career—it’s about rewriting the rules of success.

Drawing from her hit NYU course, Suzy breaks down a framework for finding your core values, leading with purpose, and building a career that actually fits the life you want. No buzzwords. No one-size-fits-all formulas. Just the clarity and tools you need to shape your next chapter—on your terms.
