CareerBeam Values and Vision

The way I see me 10 years from now is working in my own business, after working for a company gaining more business experiences for my future. Because I know I am a risk-taking businessperson, having my own business is what I would like to do in life. A business that will encourage new concepts and great entrepreneur ideas. The benefits of writing a vision statement is that you state what are your goals and targets are in your life, and where are you aiming to go in the future. Writing a vision statement is very challenging because you have to think what are your goals in life and where do you want to go in life. It’s about asking yourself what do you what, or how do you see yourself, in the future. This is a question that is difficult to respond to because it implies searching into ourselves what would we like to do in the future. Two values that are of great importance in my life are honesty and ambitious. I think these two values, having strong desire for success and moral uprightness, can make you a successful person in life. I express this values in any common day of my life. The organization that express a close match between my vision and values and theirs is Junior Achievement. Their vision is “We will be recognized as vital to the success of our youth in reaching their potential, through partnership with business and educators in the nationwide delivery of relevant business learning experiences by inspired volunteers.” I will like to work for a company with this kind of vision and values, focus on leadership and ambitious ideas but at the same time concerned about the environment and the youth.

Executive Mentor Reflection

I learned that the Executive Mentor program is something that would be very valuable in my live because it would give me a lot of business experience and knowledge that I will be able to use them later on my life. My mentor's name is Kelly Lambert. She is the Director of Internal Communications for Ochsner Health System. She is responsible for the communication of system-wide messages to over 10,000 employees within Ochsner's seven hospitals and 35 clinics throughout Southeast Louisiana. Kelly is from New Orleans. I expect to receive a lot of knowledge from my mentor because she is a very successful business women and very wise. She is also very generous, she is willing to help us and teach us all her knowledge from her experiences. I am confident that I will become friends with our mentors, this friendship will be very helpful in the future as business persons for both students and mentors. I am very exited for the Executive Mentor Program, I am willing to be part of it and continue gaining business experiences in my life.
