NO GATEKEEPING😤 After finals season, I asked 10 Western business students in the Ivey Business School at Western University (excl. me) to RATE their year, what they WISH THEY KNEW, TIPS and their BEST and WORST memories. Coming into business school, you're never fully prepared but here is advice that will ease your stress (hopefully) and funny bloopers :) 😊 Loved sharing what my classmates from Section 7 and friends took away this year. Couldn’t have been possible without my friends who helped with recording. 💕HUGE thank you to everyone who made this video possible (in order of appearance): Stephan Balakumaran, Claire Koyama, Anthony Pham, Tanisha Juneja, Tam Nguyen, Chidubem Anekwuonye, Tim Haluk, Valerie Tsoi, Azaad Gill & Max Polan Check out this video to see: ⭐ student ratings of their year out of 10 ⭐best and worst memories ⭐ tips for those interested in Ivey ⭐️why they chose Ivey ⭐️ BLOOPERS (my favourite :) Video: https://lnkd.in/eRqf6JX6 If you liked this video, share it with anyone hoping to learn more about Ivey or shoot me any questions, always open to chat!

🎙️New interview alert! Lorraine Godden, PhD Godden recently discussed the importance of early career-related learning in grades 4-6 on iHeartRadio Newstalk Tonight! 📚 In her insightful interview, Dr. Godden explores how young students perceive the word "career" and why it's crucial to broaden their understanding beyond visible jobs. Dr. Godden shares: "Career is actually rooted in the Latin word "carus" which refers to a chariot or cart, a means of travel and journeying. Those of us that work in the career field, understand career to be about life, learning AND work. So, work and jobs are a component of career but they're not everything." Tune in at 30:44 to hear the full interview and gain valuable insights on how early career education can better prepare children for future decisions. 🚀 🔗 Listen to the interview and read the full publication here: ceric.ca/possibilities

Robert C. Wolcott's new book, Proximity, is all about getting us what we want where and when we want it. It's Fill-in-the-blank On Demand. But what are the forces that are taking us to a more proximate future? How will they unfold and what do they mean for our careers? That's the subject of this week's "Career Sessions, Career Lessons".

Today I moderated three career panel sessions for high school students interested in careers at Securian Financial. Here's what I learned about running an effective panel: 💡 Come prepared. We sent our panelists a list of questions to prepare for in advance, with names assigned to each question so everyone on the panel knew who was responsible for what. 💡 Be concise. Practice your answers enough so that you can share a brief and effective answer. Give one or two examples, then let another panelist have a turn to speak. 💡 Connect your message to your audience's interests. Our audience was high schoolers, so the panel spoke about their high school experience, and shared what they wish they would have known as a high school student. Remember that practice makes progress! What panels have been most impactful to you?
