One of my main goals for my time at the GSB is to become a more effective leader and stronger communicator. Specifically, I hope to take advantage of opportunities over the next two years to:
1) Figure out what I want to do with my life and career, and channel my energy in that direction. Most of the leaders I admire are experts in specific areas, leading organizations in their fields. When I look at my own career, I've worked in different functions and industries but don't have differentiated expertise or experience, which I hope to build in the coming years.
2) Stretch myself in new ways. Most of my life has been in relatively sheltered environments, and I'm looking forward to stretching myself, leaving my comfort zone, trying new things, and failing, in all sorts of ways, from the classroom to new athletic pursuits to potentially starting or joining a startup.
3) Practice public speaking! I get nervous in front of large groups, and I want to change that!
Should be easy to challenge yourself and practice public speaking at the GSB! The "what do I want to do with my life" is a lifelong journey...
