In this conversation, leaders from industry and business reflect on pivotal moments in their careers, missteps, near-misses, and unexpected outcomes that became turning points for stronger leadership and better execution.Grounded in core principles of project management, risk awareness, decision-making under uncertainty, stakeholder alignment, and adaptive leadership, the discussion explores how experienced practitioners diagnose problems in real time, course-correct with confidence, and transform disruption into momentum. Rather than treating mistakes as endpoints, the panel examines how they become inflection points for sharper judgment, more resilient teams, and systems that perform under pressure. For anyone leading work at scale, this is a practical and candid conversation about learning fast, leading with agility, and using setbacks to drive sustainable growth. Discussion 6:00-7:00 PM with reception to follow.Speakers:<ul><li>Evangelia Ieronymaki, Program Director and Senior Lecturer in Discipline, M.S. Project Management, M.S.
