Today’s Homework: November 1, 2019
- Please write a ‘succinct’ statement sharing your perception of one LaSalle Academy student brand you encountered yesterday that impressed you. Describe the brand using adjectives which describe the brand of one of the many LaSalle students you observed yesterday. Please, send your ‘succinct’ statement to my email address no later than Tuesday, November 5th, 11:59pm. By sending me your homework before Tuesday, November 5th, 11:59pm, it will give me an opportunity to read, reflect, and respond to your statement. Thank you.
- Establish your personal LinkedIn site. After doing this, send a “CONNECT” request to my LinkedIn site. I spoke about the value of LinkedIn yesterday to you and the LaSalle students. Please keep in mind the importance of the ‘information’ you share on your LINKEDIN site. Information like your extracurricular activities, your after school jobs, your enrollment in the Hope Life Skills program, your attendance in the FUTURE FORUM, and your career aspirations are important to encouraging successful people with their LINKEDIN sites to send a “CONNECT” request to you to join their network. This is one way for you to build your valuable networks for lifetime success. For example: describe your enrollment in Hope Life Skills as “an elective, credited course introducing and developing life skills and attitudes for success. The program’s foundation rests upon the importance of personal brand and the development of specific skills using one’s personal brand to build a network of successful, reputable professionals for career opportunities and mentorship for life“. You might also acknowledge your attendance in THE FUTURE FORUM # 4 as “an annual event bringing national corporate futurists (e.g. Bank of America, Data Robot, Accenture, Working Planet, Brown University, etc) together with a diverse group of high school students for a collaboration using design thinking and creativity to solve a social problem or create an entrepreneurial opportunity with AI (artificial intelligence)“. And, don’t forget the teams you’re part of AND the part time jobs you hold. Hope High School soccer team or Subway Sandwich Shop, shift manager.
