Session: Driven: Redefining Success
“Driven: Redefining Success” challenges the myth of having it all by exploring the moments behind the résumé where ambition, reinvention, and real life collide. Speaking to women carrying the invisible weight of success, Mimi offers a powerful invitation to redefine achievement on their own terms. As more women downshift and burnout rises, she examines how to sustain momentum while renewing energy. Her insights centre on cultivating clarity, reframing disruption as a catalyst for growth, and using practical tools to stay resilient. Mimi highlights the importance of emotional permission to grieve and pivot, the value of lived experience, and the strength of strategic networks.
