Details

The Barrick Lecture Series presents nationally and internationally renowned speakers through a generous grant from philanthropist Marjorie Barrick.

Barbara Corcoran will share her inspiring rags-to-riches story and the secrets to success that led her to the top of her industry.

In 1973, she borrowed $1,000 from her boyfriend, quit waitressing and started a real estate company in New York City called The Corcoran Group. Over the years, she parlayed that loan into a $5 billion real estate business.

Now, as one of the stars and investors on ABC's "Shark Tank," Corcoran has become an in-demand media personality and solidified her position as one of the most successful real estate entrepreneurs in America. The author of two best-selling books, she’s helped successfully launch more than two dozen businesses, from apparel to skin care to custom bicycles.

With her signature tell-it-like-it-is attitude, Corcoran will share one-of-a-kind insight on the importance of leadership, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit in today’s business environment.
