Employees attended one of four tracks featuring inspiring speakers across a range of disciplines\u2014from television to figure skating and culinary arts\u2014and left feeling eager to apply what they heard to further their own personal and professional growth. Here are just a few of our favorite quotes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u201cMake It Happen\u201d featured Jaden Smith, actor and co-founder of the eco-friendly water brand <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.justwater.com\/\"><b>JUST<\/b><\/a><b> and its nonprofit arm <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.just.global\/\"><b>JUST Impact<\/b><\/a><b>; film and TV producer Brian Grazer; and Maxie McCoy, author of <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Youre-Not-Lost-Inspired-Finding\/dp\/0143132563\"><b><i><em>You\u2019re Not Lost: An Inspired Action Plan for Finding Your Own Way<\/em><\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Jaden Smith: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI always get scared right before something awesome happens.

So for more than 35 years, every two weeks I meet with someone who\u2019s an expert in anything other than entertainment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Maxie McCoy: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou\u2019re not looking for the end destination. That\u2019s what we think we\u2019re looking for when we\u2019re trying to figure it all out\u2014but that\u2019s not it. It\u2019s direction.

But you can always have the curiosity. With curiosity, as long as you\u2019re trying and figuring things out, you\u2019re allowed to make mistakes.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Aaron Hurst: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are three sources of fulfillment: relationships, impact, and growth. Freelancers struggle to find relationships with coworkers, and that\u2019s why they work at WeWork. Impact is the perception that work matters to others beside ourselves. And if we stop growing, we start to atrophy. This is the main complaint from people in the workforce. What happens when someone who is unfulfilled at work goes home or back into society? It\u2019s a ripple effect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u201cSuperpower You\u201d featured Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon; actor and YouTube star Lilly Singh; <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/endeavor.org\/\"><b>Endeavor<\/b><\/a><b> CMO Bozoma Saint John; and Zachary Wood, author of <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Uncensored-Uncomfortable-Conversations-Intersection-America\/dp\/1524742449\"><b><i><em>Uncensored: My Life and Uncomfortable Conversations at the Intersection of Black and White America<\/em><\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Adam Rippon: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy superpower is my ability to believe in myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-31422\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/WeWork-Summit-Adam-Rippon-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31422\"\/><figcaption>\u201cMy superpower is my ability to believe in myself,\u201d says figure skater Adam Rippon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Lilly Singh: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFailing at something is not a waste of time\u2014it\u2019s an essential part of finding success.
