USC Marshall Alumni OC: Serendipity-The Art & Science of Creating Good Luck

The USC Marshall Alumni Association and USC Marshall Executive Education invite you to join us for a wonderful evening of networking and professional development with Professor Christian Busch, PhD, bestselling author of The Serendipity Mindset and business professor at the USC Marshall School of Business.

What if being lucky was a skill that you could master and share with other people?

Modern life is full of chance encounters, changing plans, delayed journeys, human errors and other mishaps. So, what if we use such unpredictability to our advantage?

By learning to identify, act on and share serendipity, we can use uncertainty as a pathway to more joyful, purposeful and successful lives. From couples who first interacted during chance encounters to businesspeople who invented multi-million ideas after a best-laid plan misfired, Christian has studied hundreds of subjects who improved their lives by learning to see opportunities in the unexpected.
