Be it business leader, executives women, men or youth, sharing your success strategies will help them utilize their talents and fulfill all that they have desired to achieve. When you empower others, you achieve success yourself. If you look down on other people and concentrate on your own well being, people will desert you. We need each other to make it in life. It is important to help one another to achieve victory.

I ‘m reaching out to you to ask for some help to become better and develop a clear path to success, in my future. I would like to have a mentor; a person who I could meet with on a monthly basis, who helps navigate me to my goals. I feel that I

I wanted to meet with you to discuss your performance for this quarter. Feel free to contribute in any way. All questions are welcome.

I had the privilege to interview a member of the HR department at Liberty Diversified, International (LDI). LDI is a family of seven companies in different markets such as: custom packaging solutions (Harbor Packaging), retail solutions (Immedia), and office furnishings and solutions (Safco), to name a few. Being a freshman at the Carlson School I was really nervous about this assignment because I didn’t want to make a bad impression by interviewing someone I had no connections with. Thus, I decided to interview Erin Hanson who is and HR specialist for Liberty Diversified, International who aligns with their workplace furniture and solutions business Safco. Erin is actually a graduate of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities so it was really cool to have the opportunity to meet an alumnus. I met with Erin because I have a relative in Safco who works as a business analyst who was able to set a meeting with her and even drive me to it. I asked Erin a series of ten questions relating to various facets of HR that we had discussed in class prior to my meeting with her.

Tara Krishnan is a sixteen year old Indian American girl attending Brierly High School and living in Greenwich Connecticut. Tara is average height, has light brown eyes, olive brown skin, black hair and the delicate bone structure of her mother. Tara is a very observant, shy, and introverted person, however she is very academically motivated and has the highest GPA in her class. She also participates in yearbook club and is one of the best swimmers at the school. Despite all of her accomplishments, she has a very harsh view of herself, chastising herself for any minor slip up she might have and always feeling like an outcast because of her mixed race while attending an all white school, her family's lack of extensive wealth and her

The change in perspective of a situation can revitalize the possibilities of what you can do. Mr. O'Leary opened my eyes to how I need to remind myself to always strive for the best version of myself, so that I can lead others into the

I have the wonderful opportunity to work with many different individuals with various needs, and I have really learned what I need to do to positively influence their lives. I have learned some ways to help my clients become more independent, and have observed how much the people in their lives can help, or hinder, their growth. I can’t speak for my clients, but based off of their reactions when I walk through the door, I would like to say that I have helped them lead full, happy

Through this action plan I think I have developed both professionally and personally. I have developed professionally because I was given a chance to work with elderly people and this gave me a taste of what nursing would be like. I want to be adult nurse and so working with elderly people have given me a chance to develop my knowledge that would be helpful in my professional life. This target has helped me personally because it taught me that respect isn’t something that you ask from people, it is something that you get when you treat others as the way you wanted them to treat you.

It’s very important to develop yourself everyday, to think outside the box. I like Einstein observation, that “the significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them”. In order to solve them we need to experience a reframing. I learned this lesson from one big training for leaders in Austria and now I was surprised to hear about this again. So it is really easy, if I want to get something bigger – salary, fame, recognition, fun, time – I need to start to do something differently. During one class at the Miami Dade College I was trying to figure out current problem, that separates me from next level of development and I decided to create a paradigm shift and change my environment for more successful people with positive emotions, to break with my traditions of spending time and old ways of thinking and find friends in more successful reality and avoid people with defensive pessimism. For this step it is important to have a fresh perspective or different viewpoint. It is clearly that each of my friends, co-workers, members of my family is a reflection of myself, my choices and my believes. Something in me wants to keep things as they are. But for getting to my dreams of being successful and effective in my personal life, in my relationship and my career, making myself healthier, happier and more effective, I need to do something differently.

Over the last six years, I’ve built my career on one simple principle: Work respectfully and always seek growth opportunities. I’m the person who looks for ways to help managers or supervisors, so therefore, I may learn and develop leadership skills. I have demonstrated the ability to work well with others and have helped train new employees

The person I met was a representative from the Coles stand at the careers expo. I spoke to this person about possible future postgraduate opportunities in the Coles industry. I asked her a questions ranging from things that would benefit me as an individual to questions about her position in the company to large scale questions about the company. By asking such a diverse range of questions it helped me to gain a better understanding of how the professional business world works and how I, as an individual can find the right place for me in the business world. Also informing me on different strategy’s on how I can get there and how I can get in front of my other competitors and make myself stand out as a professional. Before attending the careers

There are many inspirational public figures; people who have pledged to better their own lives or the lives of others. People who have impressed all with their motivation, determination, dedication and their concern for humanity. Although many of these leaders are forced to endure countless downfalls, they always manage to become extraordinary instead of allowing themselves to crumble under the pressure. These breathtaking individuals have not only won everyone's hearts by their various achievements, but also by their attitude and values. While they have contrasting backgrounds, Oprah Winfrey, Howie Mandel, Jessica Cox and Melinda Gates all contain the needed qualities that led them to their overall success.

The more success I have in my career in business, the greater opportunities and influence I will have to positively affect others. I love helping others now that I am in a position to do so. By volunteering I feel like I am making the best contribution I can make at this time. As a move on in my life, I will be able to contribute in more ways than before. Additionally, self confidence is an area that I want to develop in since I have been better at focusing on others’ interests. My self love has been an area that I have grown in but it needs further improvement just like every aspect of my character. As my confidence grows, my willingness for taking on new challenges will too. These challenges will focus on communities and the world as a whole. These new challenges will lead me to new heights as a leader, person, and a member of the

“Setting up appointments with all the friends, professional acquaintances and corporate bigwigs you can is just the first step. More important is knowing what to say once you arrive. Since wasting contacts ' time is unacceptable, you should prepare an agenda before each meeting. Decide what you would like to find out from your contact, and then prepare questions to elicit that information” (40 Questions to Ask, 2015, para. 1).

Kewuana Lerma used grit to help her succeed her first semester of college. Firstly, Kewuana used perseverance to sit in the front row of the large class. For example, author Paul Tough claims while all the other African Americans sat in the back of the class she sat in the front row with the white girls (Tough). Secondly, Kewuana was passionate about her studies. For instance, Paul Tough shares that she stayed up practically all night to study for her finals. Therefore, because of passion she passed all of her classes first semester. Thirdly, Kewuana used effort to have all passing grades even with her hardest class. To illustrate Paul Tough claims that she had effort because she stayed for office hours to get help on her assignments. Hence,
