What's Happening

Yesterday (31 October 2024), The MSBA Program had the honor of hosting one of our esteemed Advisory Board Members, Mr. Ian Smith, who led an engaging discussion on the topic: "Reputation in Your Career: Why It Matters and How to Achieve It."

Mr. Ian Smith, the Asia Head of Trading for Jain Global, generously spared time from his demanding schedule to lend his support to our program and students. Over the past three years, he has been a consistent source of inspiration, sharing his insights and guidance on career development with our student community.

Key takeaways from his enriching talk include:

• Embrace humility: Acknowledging that you don't have all the answers is crucial for personal growth. Don't hesitate to seek help and guidance when needed.
• Embrace a mindset of continuous learning: Learn from those around you, including peers and colleagues, and don't shy away from asking questions.
• Embrace mistakes as part of the learning process: It's not about avoiding mistakes, but rather how you respond to and learn from them that shapes your reputation.
• Maintain a positive outlook: A positive attitude can be a powerful force within a team. Strive to be the individual who uplifts and motivates others.
