Foster's Global Business Center's experiential learning programs(Kirsten Aoyama) and @Caro Zeiher designed to build transformational relationships between students and leaders in the business community locally and internationally. The Russell Investments International Case Competition (RIICC) winners were invited to visit the Russell Investments' corporate office in Seattle and the opportunity to meet their leaders and learn about the company and the industry. Some key takeaways : 🌟Broaden your skillset, work in different teams, but there is value in longevity/tenure. Integrity is key. (Vernon Barback) 🌟Acknowledge your tenacity grid thus far and continue to learn new skills. Make new connections(Gregory Moye,Erik Strom) 🌟Sometimes, you do not begin with the “end in mind”. Don’t be fearful of trying new things. Give a new industry time and attention to assess an alignment/fit. Offer up/volunteer; great way to try things and be noticed (@EmilySteinbarth) 🌟Connections/networking is important as is company culture. Opportunities come when you show up and engaged in the community.(Mollie Jensen). ** In reality, we do not live in a perfect world and the advice is that we will need to deal with ambiguity. Sometimes, we need to take calculated risks, and execute. Know that you will make mistakes, but own your mistakes and learn from it. A valuable lesson for transitioning from College or pivoting into a new role. Thank you Russell Investments and Erik Strom for a value-add session, a visit to the trading room and showing us what Humility in Leadership means. #uwglobalbusinesscenter;#uwfosterschool,#RussellInvestments #humilityinleadership,#RICC
