CDL is proud to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of launching the podcast—”Rising To The Top: Lessons in Leadership“. In our podcast we interview senior industry leaders, including SPS alumni, who share the secrets of their success and reveal pivotal moments that impacted their career paths. Listen as they shed light on obstacles they overcame as well as wins they achieved.
We are happy to be recognized by Metropolitan New York College Career Planning Officer’s Association (MNYCCPOA) through the Alva Cooper Award for Creativity and Innovation. The purpose of the Alva Cooper Awards are to foster the mission of promoting professional growth and exchanging ideas, information and creative solutions concerning career development issues. Special thanks to our interviewers Paul Maniaci and Nicole Arndt for their amazing work!
This year, we interviewed 10 industry leaders from various industries including Technology, Advertising, Non-profit, the Arts, Entrepreneurship, Consulting, Media, and Education. From starting careers to overcoming career bottlenecks, from leveraging resources during their time in Columbia to giving personal career development advice in the industries that they are working in, our industry leaders shared their unique experiences. Their agile and unique perspectives can inspire us to create our own career paths. They are:
