Join CFA Society Boston on Thursday, March 11 as we reimagine the Annual Market Dinner in a virtual setting and welcome Neil Pasricha, author, speaker, awesome expert, and happiness guru. In Neil’s presentation “3 Ways to Cultivate a Positive Mindset for 2021” he will respond to the drain of the pandemic and the unprecedented change and challenge we all faced this past year. He will share simple, research-backed tools to help cultivate a positive mindset, build resilience, and ultimately lift performance.  You will leave with clear daily practices you can use to achieve your biggest goals.  

CFA Society Boston is excited to bring you this informative and uplifting speaker to support our members as we navigate our way through 2021 and beyond. Though this Market Dinner will be unlike any other, we are bringing new ways to engage and network, including a special Market Dinner Giftbox featuring our keynote’s latest book, You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure, and Live an Intentional Life, resources and collaborative entertainment.
