Lead with Purpose
On behalf of Kevin Cronin, CEO for the Americas, you are invited to join a special virtual presentation by Mike Hayes, former Navy SEAL and author of Never Enough: A Navy SEAL Commander on Living a Life of Excellence, Agility and Meaning.
In conjunction with MUFG Americas’ Veterans' Enterprise Resource Group SERVE, we are excited to have Mike share what he learned during his twenty years in the Navy, how those experiences prepared him for life in the private sector, and how to apply lessons about excellence, agility and meaning across your personal and professional lives. The theme of his presentation is Lead with Purpose. Following the presentation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and share thoughts.
While participation is entirely voluntary and not a condition of employment, registration is required for the event. The first 200 registrants will receive a copy of Never Enough: A Navy SEAL Commander on Living a Life of Excellence, Agility and Meaning.
