Join us as Wendy Shiba, a corporate attorney who served in C-level executive positions for three NYSE-listed companies, and Melissa Murray, the Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law at New York University School of Law,  open up about what drives them, how they've overcome obstacles and their tips for success.
