I just got back from an inspiring week at NAMA 2016 in Kansas City and have so much to blog about. To keep myself from writing a novel, I'm keeping this blog post short. One of the highlights of NAMA this year was the Student Mentor Luncheon. Along with five other students, I met Dave, Carrie and Hannah who took the time to share their wisdom with us. Here are quotes that really hit home for me:
1. "It's not what you know, it's who you know." - Carrie
2. "Don't limit yourself." - Hannah
3. "Influence the influencer." - Hannah
4. "A portfolio is huge." - Hannah
5. "Passion is something you can't fake." - Hannah
6. "Look for ways to give back. Stay connected." - Dave
7. "Have a robust social media presence that's professional." - Hannah
8. "Don't be afraid to take a chance. Put your idea out there." - Carrie
9. "Seeking out and keeping in touch with mentors is important." - Hannah
10. "Challenge the status quo. That's our job." - Dave
11. "Learn about yourself. Knowing who you are helps you work with others." - Carrie
12. "Ask questions in an interview." - Dave
I'm so thankful for the chance I had to meet Dave, Carrie and Hannah. I know their advice is something I can apply to my life for years to come. Thanks for reading!
You got a really useful blog I have been here reading for about half an hour. I am a newbie and your post is valuable for me.
