My Favorite Lecture with Dr. Ajay Menon: Building a Personal Brand: Defining Success YOUR Way
Presenter(s):
Ajay Menon
Description:
Dr. Ajay Menon, the Dean of the College of Business, thinks a lot about how to build a “successful” career. Defining your priorities—both in your career and in your life—allow you to develop a personal brand that will lead you to both satisfaction and success. Managing your career according to your personal brand leads the way to opportunities that reflect who you really are. What will you be known for not only in your career, but in your life? What type of reputation do you want to have? What kind of legacy do you want to leave? Reflecting on these questions now will lead you to a career that authentically reflects who you are, and to a life that aligns with your values.
