2/14 Class: Life Coach Speaker

 Listening to the guest speaker talk in class was very inspirational and motivating. Our guests tragic experience made me realize how grateful I am for the little conveniences in everyday life that I typically take for granted. The speaker was paralyzed from a car accident, and in a wheelchair... There are many things he is limited by. It was inspirational to see how positive he is and learn about all the takeaways hes gained from his unfortunate situation. Before the accident, the speaker worked in business which was not his true passion. He discovered his passion after his career was taken away from him. He found life coaching was his true passion and he is eternally grateful for all that has happened as it has allowed him to find greater purpose. This makes me think about my career choice, and I should figure out if it is my true calling... if we can only live once I want to be sure I'm doing what I truly want. I am hopeful that I like my job when it starts, but I will make sure to not continue down a path that I don’t enjoy. That was my biggest take away from todays class... Who knows it might be fishing!

3/20 #2: Story Abroad

 I am currently traveling with a group of 7 guys and we don't always get along. When planning our spring break there was a lot of disagreeing. That being said, we learned how to navigate it quite well. Rather than stepping on everyones toes, we took a step back and asked everyone what the most important part of the trip was. In a snake order each person got to plan one thing until all our days were filled. Doing it this way we felt everyone was able to get their fare share of input and a good mix of interests making it a very unique trip. We even had point son. the trip planned where we'd split up briefly to do our own things before coming back together at a final destination. I am very pleased with our communication skills throughout the process and it has forever altered the  way we approach disagreements like this in the future again.

2/28: Strategy

 In class today we learned how to approach all our big rocks. I used getting an internship this summer as an example. While I have had friends who put hundreds of hours and applied to hundreds of positions, I found intense grind sessions to be a more effective approach in my internship process. Consistency was key in my success. I found a job working at WellsFargo in Charolette NC, through targeting my interests staying real/ honest with myself, and by positioning myself to the employers as someone who wants to learn and is open to criticism. I want to reflect the way I handled the internship process in the other big rocks of my day to day life. It taught me a lot about what I am capable of when organized and determined.
