The Entrepreneurial Edge: Turn Ideas Into Action with Cynthia Pong, JD

Whether you’re an undergraduate exploring options, a business student testing an idea, an alum looking to pivot, or a community member curious about your next step—this workshop will give you practical strategies and renewed confidence.
Success rarely follows a straight line. Sometimes the career you thought was your “forever” doesn’t feel right once you’re in it. Sometimes an internship, first job, or life event makes you question the direction you’ve been heading. And sometimes the spark of a side hustle makes you realize you want more than the traditional 9-to-5.
But here’s the good news: you can always recalibrate, reinvent, and build something new.
Join Cynthia Pong, JD—award-winning executive coach and CEO of Embrace Change, Forbes Leadership Strategy contributor, CNBC career change expert, and author—for an energizing, hands-on workshop on how to apply entrepreneurial tools to chart your own career path.
Whether you’re an undergraduate exploring options, a business student testing an idea, an alum looking to pivot, or a community member curious about your next step—this workshop will give you practical strategies and renewed confidence.
Through a series of interactive exercises, you’ll explore:
Who you want to reach with your ideas
What problem you want your product or service to solve
How your approach stands out from the crowd
Cynthia will share her journey from burnt out lawyer to entrepreneur leading a thriving, purpose-driven business, and guide you through these crucial questions. You’ll experience the same approach she’s used to coach entrepreneurs who’ve scaled past half a million in annual revenue, hit major milestones months ahead of schedule, spoken on international stages, and won global innovation prizes.
You’ll leave with:
Clarity on how to move your entrepreneurial idea and career forward
Confidence from applying proven tools and frameworks
Connections across Adelphi’s student, alumni, and community networks
All participants will receive a complimentary copy of Cynthia’s entrepreneurship guide.
A reception will follow the workshop—your chance to connect with Cynthia and your fellow workshop attendees in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
