Annette is intrigued and bewildered by the human capacity to engender fairness, equality, and equity. At her core, she believes that we all recognize how fairness, equality, and equity can transform lives. How these elements can transform communities, companies, and cultures. How modeling these behaviors can create a new and positive dynamic. She stands in this truth and endeavors to imbue these elements with friends, family, and colleagues.
In her downtime, she enjoys the challenge and sereneness of sailing. Sailing lets her mind, body, and spirit imagine infinite possibilities and fulfills her sense of wanderlust.
Talk: The Power of Vulnerability/Brene Brown.
“Most of us tend to feel uncomfortable with showing vulnerability. I believe that vulnerability is one of my core strengths because it allows me to build deep trust-based relationships with my friends, colleagues, and clients.”
What if everything you’ve been taught about building a successful career no longer applies?
Margaret Weniger has spent years exploring that question from both sides of the table. As director of entrepreneurial programs for CREATE-X at Georgia Institute of Technology, she helps founders navigate uncertainty while building companies designed for the future. As a technology sales executive, leadership strategist and author of “Broken,” she has interviewed hundreds of professionals, founders and executives to understand why some people emerge from career disruption stronger than before.
Margaret’s work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership and the changing nature of work. Drawing from her own unconventional career and years of research, she challenges long-held assumptions about success, ambition and what it really takes to build a meaningful career in a world that refuses to stand still.
At TEDxAtlanta, Margaret invites us to rethink one of the most familiar ideas about work. The answer may change not only how you think about your career, but also how you approach whatever comes next.
