Join the National Society of Leadership and Success for a broadcast speaker event from 11 to 11:50 a.m. Thursday, March 2, in Applied Technology Building Room 118. Barbara Corcoran will be speaking.
Barbara Corcoran is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, investor and “Shark” on the popular ABC network show “Shark Tank.” Contrary to her professional successes, Corcoran struggled in both high school and college, and had 20 jobs by the time she turned 23. It was at that time she borrowed $1,000, quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City and created the foundation to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country. Over the next 25 years, Barbara turned the $1,000 loan into a $5 billion real estate empire.
Barbara is famously brash, courageous, and a brilliant identifier of opportunity and talent often invisible to others. Barbara has invested in more than 25 entrepreneurs over the last six years, personally helping each one succeed. She continues to speak, coach and share her knowledge with audiences all over the world. Corcoran will share her personal experiences and offer coaching to help students identify opportunities to build their own foundations for success.
