It was great to start today's class off with the Superbowl commercials since it is not only fun to watch again but it was also fresh in our memories from the night before. Personally, the CareerBuilder one was my favorite because it was not only funny but inspirational to show those who settle that there is better, that we can always do better, but it is ultimately up to us to use those resources. I have never considered to leave my resume out in the open after finding a job, but now I think it's a great way to stay competitive and alert of what else there could be.
The leader spotlight speeches went very fast but it was also very beneficial to find out what aspects of personality, gestures, speech, and overall appearance of a person could sway my decision as to whether or not they were worth following or to even be a leader. I found many attributes that were consistent with how well I was ranking them: posture, amount of filler words, if they spoke about teamwork rather than what they did, experience different from the norm, eye contact, confidence: in their voice, their stance, their gestures, etc., and how persuasive they were. It was a good sign of a leader to me when the fact of standing in front of the blinding bright light did not even phase them one bit. This was a small but easy way to see how certain people would react to their environment and be shocked or those who simply foresaw and anticipated it prior to getting in there (that was only a few seconds). This little detail helped decipher those who come prepared more than others, who adapt to their surroundings, and those who hold strong even when they are put in a situation in which makes them uncomfortable. Today was quite interesting because of that.
