Feature I: Being your best self takes work . . . especially when faced with the hustle of a workday. Gretchen Rubin, the author of several books including The Happiness Project, sustainable fashion leader Eileen Fisher, and Headspace cofounder Rich Pierson have all spent time focused on this challenge and strategies for confronting it. In conversation together, they will reveal ways you can build better, stronger habits; infuse mindfulness, perspective, and self-awareness into your work; and more.

Feature II: Elizabeth Gore, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Dell, will announce Dell’s open letter to the presidential candidates, spelling out policy recommendations to better enable women entrepreneurs for success. This letter was the result of a “Circle dinner series” held across the country with high-profile female entrepreneurs and politicians, who had the chance to weigh in and give their insights into what kinds of policy changes will have the most impact.
