LIFE LESSONS SHARED FROM ALUMNI & EXPERTS
Have you ever watched something completely unrelated, like a documentary about elephants, that gave you an idea of how to solve a problem you were having in your own life? Maybe, maybe not. The point is, by engaging with the stories of people who have found success in a certain aspect of their lives, we get a lot of great ideas and fresh inspiration for figuring out how to do the same – or finding what we want.
