Here are the questions you were asked with the correct responses:
Q: As Bill told you during the meeting, what is the state of the private school that had the most discerning interviewers?
A: They were from Hawaii, and became that skilled to differentiate those who truly wanted to contribute to the school’s mission from those who were looking for an all-expenses paid vacation to the Pacific.
Q: What are 3 of the chief benefits of arriving early for a meeting, as discussed?
A: Here are several benefits of recognizing and attending the “meeting before the meeting”:
- You get increased access to the person who is leading the meeting.
- You get to build relationships with others attending the meeting.
- You have a chance to assess the mood.
- You can broaden, test, and refine your opinion on key topics.
- You have more opportunities to exercise your own leadership and influence.
- You convey that you are a person who is prompt, organized, and takes responsibility.
- You arrive in a better state of mind, compared to those who screech in under the wire or worse, sneak in late to a meeting.
- You get better seating in the room.
- You get better parking when there is less competition for spaces.
Q: _____ that you can translate from your athletic experience to other areas of your life are one of the most valuable gains you can make as a student athlete, from Bill’s perspective.
A: Habits are the key.
Q: Bill shared a 3-step technique for maintaining composure either on or off the field of competition. What is the 3rd step?
A: The three steps are to feel it (so you acknowledge the response to the situation, whether positive or negative), forget it (now that you’ve gained the wisdom of the feeling response, you can release it for now or forever), and then focus. Be in the present, because that’s where you can make your biggest difference on an athletic field or in the game of life. Focus is the name of the third step.
Q: Please list the question that you discussed in pairs during the meeting, then reported back to the group.
A: The question you discussed as a paris and then reported back to the group was:
What are the top 5 ways you can make a favorable impression at an interview?
Q: Bill encouraged each of you to look toward not on what you could get from an internship or project work opportunity while in college, but more on what you could _______ in that capacity.
A: In general, when you pay more attention to what you can contribute than what you can gain, the other aspects of your work fall into line. Look to contribute to and grow from each experience and you’ll be satisfied in your work and in areas of your life beyond work.
Thanks so much for your participation!
