Throughout her career as a journalist and interviewer extraordinaire, Kelly Corrigan has spent hundreds of hours talking with some of the most successful people in the world. The reason people succeed, she says, is because of the culture they’re in, whether at work, school or at home. If it’s one that’s empowering, anyone can be motivated to do their best. Kelly will share stories from some of the top changemakers she’s had conversations with, from Philanthropist Melinda Gates to Dr. Atul Gawande to civil rights icon Delores Huerta. She also includes the five simple rules that can be used to create change.
