In Silicon Valley we work big, we dream big, and sometimes we have the opportunity to look around and explore our true, underlying passions. Some of us, those courageous ones, even dip their toes into the pond of extreme career change!

We offer an evening showcasing five individuals who have followed their hearts and folded their dream into their daily lives. They have re-invented themselves. You will be delighted and inspired by their stories, enlightened by their challenges and cheered by their success.

Come and join us for an evening of stimulating and thought-provoking discussion. Let your minds be open! Let your thoughts and opinions be heard!

Patton said: “Take calculated risks–that is quite different from being rash.” A successful manager needs to know how to encourage a culture of risk-taking while balancing it with sound risk management.  Dr. Merlin Dorfman’s new article “Risk-taking and the Freedom to Fail” provides a much needed framework for disciplined and purposeful risk-taking.
