Time and Achievements in a b-school never go together. B-Schools are a stickler for time and we are thrown into a volcano of responsibilities right from the first day. Assignments and Case studies form the whirlwind with extra ocean currents of clubs and events. Yet, the lesson learnt in time is that we must make the utmost use of the 2 years, no matter how stiff the timetable is. 3 of us in MISB Bocconi took time out from our busy schedules and volunteered to enter into a b-school competition - The Mallennial Challenge organised by BestSellers, unBox Retail. The challenge was impeccably difficult which required at least 170 odd hours to complete.
The placements season is upon us in full swing. Some are still waiting for the summer internship placements to end while others are already preparing for final placements. We have devised an interesting way to help cope with the stress and hopefully also discover more about Aditya Birla Group through our unique online travel game - Around the World in 16 Questions. The game is not too tough but it isn't very easy either. Attempts are limited and you need to know names of places.
I have almost always managed to just make it seem like I am fairly comfortable when put on a stage. I go through whatever I have to say at a decent pace, I remain concise and am good at expressing ideas. I might stumble in my speech somewhere down the line, but I’ll regain the “flow”. So when Minita complimented me for all the above-mentioned features after my short 2-minute introductory speech, I didn’t find it surprising. As it turned out, she was saving the surprise for the latter part of the feedback. I look more like a mannequin than a living and breathing human being when I’m on stage; I barely move. I don’t know what to do with my hands; when I am on stage, they become stiff. I could crack the best joke ever (not that I can!) and yet barely smile myself. Now that was some surprise! And so, the Pinnacle Intent-based Communication Training, which was supposed to boost our confidence in public speaking, kicked-off by dragging it down. This probably was one great thing about the training. Why was it great? Because I believe acknowledgement of your flaws is a pre-requisite for any attempt to improve yourself.
