Simple Skills To Improve Your Life with Komal Desai

00:00 /

Today we discussed a topic that is applicable to everyone. Our focus for today is on simple skills that can really change and improve your life. This topic has been split into two shows because of how dense this topic is, but we took the time to really explain each skill, and talk about the ways to make these skills a part of your daily routine. We are covering four of these skills today: scheduling around your energy, looking successful, starting early, and planning in advance.

To start off the show, we talked about scheduling around energy. Scheduling around energy is a way to allow you to work in the most efficient way possible. Knowing when you have the most energy and when you are most focused in the day, allows for your day to be prioritized. It is okay to take time to rest throughout the day and take some time to let your brain take a break. Your energy is not infinite, and understanding how to plan your day based on energy is a great way for you to become more productive.

The next skill we looked at was looking successful. Look the part to play the part! Sometimes we forget that the way we dress makes a lasting impression. Knowing how to dress for each situation is a a great way to ensure success. The way we dress presents a certain image, and we always want to present the best side of ourselves.

Third skill we looked at is starting early. Starting early allows us to make the most out of the day. When we start early, we get more hours in the, meaning we get to be that much more productive.

The last skill we looked at today, is planning in advance. Planning is a way to stay on track and make sure that we get as much done as possible. Knowing that situations are always subject to change, we must remain adaptable in our planning.

These four skills are great ways we can start making a change towards success in our life. Next time, we are going to take a look at four more skills that can really make a change in life and lead you towards success.

Companies Paying Off Student Debt and LinkedIn with Guest Komal Desai

00:00 /

On the June 18, 2016 episode of Career Advancement, we had university student Komal Desai join us for a discussion on companies offering to pay off student loan debt and Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn. We looked at the pros and cons of companies who are willing to pay off student debt, and what that means for the future of students are getting ready to graduate with their Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s. We also talked about what the new partnership between LinkedIn and the tech giant Microsoft means for the networking app.

The topic of companies offering to help take care of student loan debt, was inspired by an article published in Bloomberg. This article spoke to the idea of companies offering to help students pay off the tuition debt, something that is sweeping across this generation of graduates. Shedding light from the view of the company and the graduate, this article addresses the ins and outs of this new perk that may rapidly spread. Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn has created some stirrings, venturing to ask the question of what this means for the most popular networking site. We took a look at the possible futures for LinkedIn and how it is currently being used as a networking source.

Komal Desai is currently a student at The University of Texas at Austin. She is working towards her Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a focus in Finance. Ms. Desai has played an active role in the startup community, working for Beautylish Boutiques based in San Francisco and Appspire.me in Austin.

Proximity- The military has taught me about being prepared and ready when its time.
