Event Details
Laura Huang, is an associate professor at Harvard Business School and was named one of the 40 Best Business School Professors Under the Age of 40 by Poets & Quants. Previously, she was an assistant professor at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Her award winning research on entrepreneurial intuition, persuasion, and implicit decision-making has been featured in the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, and Nature. Her new book, Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage, suggests that in life, success hinges not only on working hard and amplifying our strengths, but also on shaping how others see our perceived flaws. We can turn adversity into advantage by harnessing the very stereotypes and qualities that seem like shortcomings and reframing them as assets that work in our favor. By doing so, we can each find and create our own unique “edge.”
