ASHIMA SHARMA
CEO and Founder, DREAMI
USC, Chemical Engineering, 2014
All our lives, we've been taught that the worst grade we can receive is an F for 'Fail'. What if we were to flip the narrative, where failure no longer has to incite fear, but rather provide fuel to skyrocket your career journey? In this workshop, we'll walk through how to rewire your perspective of failure, develop the muscle to embrace failure often and quickly, all while placing bigger bets on your greatest asset: you!
