"The best way to predict the future is to create it"- Peter Drucker. This is the quote I chose to stick by throughout my ISM journey. To me, it means that for each experience I have in ISM, I should try to make the most out of it and make sure to learn something new or simply grow as a person overall.
As we enter our third week of school, I have been making steady progress in ISM. In the past few classes, we have been focusing on building our personal brand. This involved setting up my LinkedIn account and creating my website on Wix. I have learned quickly how to utilize LinkedIn so that I can soon connect with professionals within the finance field. Additionally, after presenting my introduction speech, I realized that something I definitely want to improve on throughout ISM is my public speaking skills.
In the next few classes, I plan on finding an article related to the corporate finance field that I can write a research assessment over. Overall, these first few weeks have been relatively easy, but I know it is going to be uphill from here. Nevertheless, I am still extremely excited to see what this class holds!
