Betsy Bohlen: Spiritual Gifts and Temptations for Those Called to Business

Join us for an inspiring session with Betsy Bohlen, current Chief Operating Officer of the Archdiocese of Chicago and former Partner at McKinsey & Company. Betsy will share her unique insights on navigating the intersection of business leadership and spirituality, exploring how spiritual gifts can guide those called to business while addressing the temptations that accompany influence and success. Drawing from her extensive experience in both corporate and non-profit settings, Betsy will offer a compelling perspective on how we Boothies can strive to "Pay It Forward"—no matter what the next chapter of our careers may hold.

There will be lots of time for Q&A and lunch will be provided!
