Inspiring the Next Generation Through Big Ideas

Google, Nike, Lego, Disney, Tate’s – globally familiar brand names that all started from someone’s idea, and then that someone working hard to make a reality, and a success. Inspired by those around her, Dartmouth MBA grad Lowey Sichol has taken the concept of entrepreneurship to the next generation through her award-winning book series, From an Idea to, that inspires kids to think big and believe in their ideas, even from a very young age – the world’s first business biography for a younger audience. Having earned numerous accolades, and regular features on NBC, CBS, ABC and more, Lowey’s debut visit to Charleston will be a program for all ages (and perhaps a sneak peek at the next round of ‘idea’ books that are the works).
