An unplanned bonus: Being a yoga teacher has helped me sharpen some of my leadership skills! Here are the parallels that I’ve found between leading a class and leading at work.
“Peru? Why Peru?”
As we begin new courses and a new semester—and I say “we” because I recently began my master’s program at JWU—let us remember that success comes with proper preparation, time-management, and focus. A lot of focus.
If you’re worried about starting your courses online, don’t be! Read the following advice from my JWU Online colleagues, all of whom completed one of their degrees online. You got this, wildcat!
“What helped me was to create a calendar with intentional days that are for studying only.”
