Yesterday I participated in a webinar focused on Savvy Counselor Strategies: Tools for Successful University Discovery. A special thanks to panelists Annemiek H. Bailey, Eric Laug and Mark Mangual for sharing some strategies for expanding students' university lists. Great job hosting Adam Wu, Ed.D and Deborah C. from Concourse Global, a part of EAB. I love the idea of the mystery fair activity (presenting unis with no names) - such a great way for students to explore some new possibilities around the globe! #counselingstrategies #planningforstudentsuccess

It was so great to meet Vasili Evangelou and all of the students on Wednesday🎓 We spoke about so much and if there’s one thing I don’t do, it’s gatekeep! ❌ So here’s some of the key takeaways… 📈Use the algorithm reports and subsequent marketing advice to optimise your content and posting processes based on EXACTLY what the platform tells you to do 🗣️Don’t be afraid to get the attention of a potential employer, and don’t be a stranger to a voice note, it comes across much more personal as it can’t be copy/pasted 📲Do not just set up a LinkedIn profile and leave it, you need to post regularly to feed the algorithm and gain the attention you seek - always have your content radar on to support this 👏🏻Make the most of every opportunity, even if it seems like a small one, you never know who’s witnessing your work or which next opportunity could be around the corner #fridaymotivation #studentadvice #alumni #employability

As Real Financial Professionals, our job is not to start out perfect, but to work toward perfection.  Not to be right today, but to be less wrong tomorrow. When we finish a financial plan, the only thing we know for sure is that it is wrong. We think of our plan as less of a final word and more of a first word. It’s about narrowing the range of possible outcomes over time. What you just read comes from Declaration 19 of The Fellowship. The Fellowship is for anyone who works with money and humans. It’s for both experts and people just starting their careers.  I put The Fellowship together for you as a reminder of the massive value you provide to the world. Doors to the next cohort are opening soon. Tell me where to send your invitation: https://buff.ly/49uvINe

I recently finished my fellowship at the Institute for Youth in Policy (YIP), and the experience was honestly amazing. The program offered a really interesting curriculum delivered over two intensive months. This period was immensely enriching, giving me a fresh perspective on how I see things. The dedication and collaborative spirit fostered by YIP were truly inspiring. The program's value was such that I consistently made an effort to attend sessions, even as early as 4:30 am IST, to ensure I actively contributed to discussions (and trust me, it was worth it). My Takeaways: -This Fellowship seriously took my research skills to the next level. While making my capstone project the amount of research I had to do, I had to understand how to find credible sources, and I had to make sure all my statements were backed up by sources. -Working with all my other talented fellows at YIP showed me the importance of collaboration and communication. I thank them for being so supportive and encouraging. -YIP taught me how to set clear goals, not get carried away from the topic at hand, and divide my work into manageable chunks.  -YIP gave me a new perspective on how to look at policy in itself and how to always dig deeper to get to the grassroots level of anything. This experience was just something else. From making strategies for an election candidate to delivering the closing statements for an International Criminal Court Mock Trial to discussing major socio-economic issues, this experience is one I will never forget.
