Learning to Thrive

2 credits · Owen Graduate School of Management

This course is designed help students think deeply about their lives and their goals over a long time horizon. It will also better equip them to navigate the multiple transitions they will face during their career. The course is organized into three main sections: 1. Defining personal success, 2. Hitting the ground ready to succeed, and 3. Maintaining momentum. The first section explores discovering their unique values and goals. The second section looks at the critical issues to consider during the first 100 days of any new opportunity. It applies many of the strategy concepts taught during the curriculum but in the context of their own personal career decisions. The last section helps create a long-term framework in which to balance work and other life issues. This class is graded pass/fail and is designed for MBA second year students only. [2]
