PRESENTATION DETAILS:
After several years of a bull market supported by a strong housing market and a vibrant LBO market, investors started to revolt in the summer of 2007. In this presentation, Professor Leeds will discuss the circumstances and events which led up to the problems in the debt market (and stock market) as well as the problems that were caused by this disruption.

Women like you women with high powered degrees and professional expertise graduated
from business school with great expectations and extraordinary options…
Since you graduated, have you remained committed to a career on the fast track, moved to a
slower lane for personal reasons, or chosen to take the off ramp while focusing on family needs?
Charting Your Course provides an opportunity to consider what choices will work
well for you and how to negotiate the “lane changes” you want.

Charting Your Course is a program presenting case studies, team exercises and lectures to help
women develop a strategy for blending career and personal life. This course is for you if:

• You are at a transition point in your career
