This event will be live at 10:00am Chicago IL USA timezone. Please convert to your timezone. League members can access recordings and takeaway information at all times in the member portal.

The League ChatBox is a new program offered online for small groups to engage and discuss important issues.  Get answers, share ideas, learn together.

We hear about innovation and entrepreneurial thinking almost every day, especially as the education sector adapts to our new normal. But what do you need to consider if you want to launch your own business?

Join Tara Harvey, founder of True North Intercultural, as she shares her journey of leaving higher/international education in 2016 to start her own intercultural consulting and training company. Tara will discuss key lessons learned along the way, offer advice to others considering a similar path, and answer participants’ questions. League members are encouraged to participate no matter your journey, whether you’re toying with entrepreneurial ideas, exploring a “side hustle,” or have started your own business.
