Aspire to Lead (PwC)

invite you to a special webcast that will broadcast live from Hollywood, CA on Wednesday, February 17, 2016. The event is part of "Aspire to lead: A series on leadership and gender equality," which includes programs and workshops hosted by PwC to help college students build leadership skills.

This year's theme: "Take your career to center stage. Lessons from the business of Hollywood."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will host the event leading up to the Oscars. Our event will feature Award®-winning actor Geena Davis, Co-Founder of the Bentonville Film Festival and Founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media on gender equality.

The event will open with an inspirational keynote from Geena Davis on the empowerment and advancement of women. Michael Fenlon, PwC Global Talent Leader, will then lead a panel discussion with Geena as well as Dawn Hudson, CEO of the Academy, Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Academy Award Nominee and Director, and Peter Yobo, PwC US Advisory Senior Associate, to examine the parallels between gender portrayals in the media and the role of women in the workplace.

Through this panel discussion, attendees will receive insights on how to leverage lessons learned from the business of Hollywood and bring their career to center stage. As an Impact champion of HeforShe we will explore how everyone has a role to play in the movement towards gender equality.

PwC's Aspire to lead series provides valuable insights that will help you accelerate your development during this critical time in your personal and professional life. Be sure to take advantage of the series' workshops and resources on pwc.to/aspireus.
