Episode Description
Published in 2006, Letters to My Younger Self launched a new career for Ellyn Spragins, the award-winning journalist, columnist, and editor. Ellyn interviewed prominent women and asked them to reflect on a time in the past when they were struggling. Ellyn then asked them what they would write to their “younger self” in a letter to help their younger selves navigate the difficult time. These letters, once published, inspired readers everywhere to write such a letter and – voila! Today, Letters To My Younger Self® Seminars and Workshops around the world for corporate women’s leadership programs. She has inspired corporate leaders to share their inner wisdom at visionary organizations such as Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Genentech, Johnson & Johnson, and Novartis. Join Host Kate Ebner to find out how and why to write your own Letter to My Younger Self. Discover how looking backwards can inspire your vision of the future and your actions in the present.
