Spent part of today rewriting the video commercial that I made for Life After the Games, based on recommendations from our weekly meeting on Thursday. As I have alluded to before, such undertakings are a marathon and not a sprint. I greatly appreciate the time being taken to brainstorm how this component of the project can be improved. On that note, I am taking my first look at what the Life After the Games course will offer. Being a student has its advantages in this case because I can approach the review from that mindset: what would I hope to get out of this course and can it deliver that for me? It is early in the process but the results seem promising.
The other thing I am looking for in that regard is if the information makes enough sense. Having the right presentation is paramount to the success of the course so if there is something I do not understand, I will make a note of that and pass it along to the people building the course. I can tell you that there is an interactive piece to Life After the Games or LAG for short. These exercises are meant to help the student have a better understanding of who they are and what professions would suit them best based on their personality. I never realized how important it is to align your work with self-awareness until I pursued my MBA. That right there is one of the benefits to furthering your education whether it is through a traditional program or something like LAG.
