Futuristic Thinking
Personal Takeaway
I was able to takeaway and apply at least one major concept, each course taken in the program, to real life in a very meaningful way.
The What, How, & Why concept from Simon Sinek enabled me to come up with several marketing and scripting strategies for Vermeer Mid-South.
Learning how to craft an effective Vision, Mission, Strategy, & Tactics and the use of Storyboards has been priceless to my modeling career.
Knowledge gained from resume building and effective communication helped me change careers, to the Walton Family Foundation.
Obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Organizational Management has given me the confidence to branch out, realize my dreams, and to think big! I couldn't have done the things I have accomplished professionally, if it wasn't for JBU.

$20,000 for the MBA total cost. Connecting with more people in the office; asking for specific mentoring advice. Maybe join a ToastMaster and do the one pre-req for the MBA program before Jan. '17.
|
Need to be involved in ToastMasters. I need more time to network with others in person; to grow my connections. I need help from a group I'm in, Big Picture People, collective matters! Being careful to surround myself with people that will keep me balanced. Family life, self, and business. |
Building my team is HIGHLY important; you are nothing without your team. Sheer drive and focus is also needed. Being careful to surround myself with those that will push me, inspire me, & never let me quit. |
