1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
- Some behaviors that I've had to acquire in order to keep up with the requirements of the course are my creativity skills, my ability to work ahead on my assignments, and my organization skills.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
- I think I have developed a tenacious attitude over the past two months. One assignment that I felt like "giving up" on was the assignment where we chose our opportunity. It was very difficult for me to come up with a good opportunity at first but because of the development of my creativity skills and changing the way I think about situations with certain opportunities, I was able to determine the opportunity I wanted to tackle.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
- If I could give three tips to incoming students that are taking this class next semester, I would tell them to first make sure you devote a couple hours to this class at least twice a week, get organized early on and plan ahead, and finally I would tell the student to embrace their creative side and start thinking outside the box as early as possible.
Hey Max,
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that in order to keep up in this course you must stay organized and on top of your work. In addition, creativity definitely is a major key skill necessary to help in completing assignments. For me, the choosing our opportunity was a struggle as well. It was so hard to think of something reliable, effective and useful. I had to think hard and long outside of the box.
Great job!
Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteI agree that being creative is a significant element in this class. No entrepreneur has been successful without being creative at some point in their life. I struggled as well coming up with an opportunity for the class. However, with positivity and pursuing what I was passionate about, I found one. I think being honest aobut our difficulties helps us become better leaders.
