The current (predominantly male) model of success virtually requires driving ourselves into the ground.
What if as a culture we decided to make a dramatic shift? What if we decided to gauge success in terms of well-being, wisdom and the ability to make a difference in the world?
To explore that question, The Huffington Post is hosting its first ever women's conference, "The Third Metric: Redefining Success Beyond Money & Power." On June 6, Arianna Huffington and Mika Brzezinski will lead a day of discussions with experts in a variety of fields, from business to media to wellness, around developing saner, more sustainable paths to achievement -- for both women and men.
Though the event itself is fully booked, the online conversation has kicked off already here on HuffPost. We invite you to check out the blog posts our speakers and attendees are writing on the subject and also to let us know if there are any issues you think we absolutely must discuss at the conference. You can tell us about those in the comments below or by tweeting your questions or thoughts using the hashtag #thirdmetric.
To keep that conversation going and to give you a better sense of what the third metric entails, here is a tentative schedule for the conference, including the different panels we have slated and the lineup of our confirmed speakers. Take a look!
