Developing Clarity in Life | M.Y AIM: Do What I Love, Love What I Do
Synopsis
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
At the start of every year, MBA students at Harvard Business School are asked to answer this question originally posited by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver.
Faced with such a grand and complex question, it is easy for one to feel overwhelmed. For many, this can eventually evolve into a feeling of being trapped.
During this session on developing clarity in life, Triston will share his personal story highlighting five steps that he takes to progress towards career and life clarity:
Develop core questions/topics that you are excited to explore further
List potential career paths that would allow you to focus on these topics
Identify people who have had these professional experiences
Have informational interviews to assess alignment with your interests
Pursue one of the paths and learn as much as possible about it

YOUR SPEAKER: TRISTON FRANCIS
Triston Francis is a mentor who has interests in career/life coaching, diversity and inclusion, influence, personal branding, and many more topics. He created a programme at Harvard Business School called “Crafting your life”. His passion is to help people unlock their full potential.
Triston is a great example of how mentoring can help youths (especially marginalised youths or minorities) who have little access to resources to succeed in life and to pay-it-forward to other mentees.
