Archives The very first thing that popped out at me while reading this chapter was the different forms of Global Business, mainly Global Sourcing. Global sourcing is the main reason why when I need to speak with a customer service rep of a large company, I end up speaking with …
Archives Sheryl Sandberg focuses on women in her book. Sandberg got through the glass ceiling by working hard and getting rid of internal barriers such as a lack of self-confidence, not raising her hand, and pulling back when she should be leaning in. The global practice that most resembles her …
Archives The first thing I came across in this chapter that I found interesting was the components that make up the systems process. Its pretty cool to think that every service or product we use goes through the same 4-step process. Something as simple as egg goes through the same …
Archives I think when someone cheats on homework and copies papers, the people being harmed are the person whose work is being copied and also the person who is doing the cheating. No one benefits in these situations. The person who is cheating will think they are benefitting because they …
Archives This assessment really didn’t teach me anything about myself that I didn’t already know. I’ve never claimed to be a saint but I’ve always considered myself a fairly ethical person and this assessment more or less proved that. I had a 1 on just 1 question and the majority …
Archives One of the things I found interesting about this chapter was the different types of resources managers have available to them. I had never thought of myself, or employees in general, as a resource. When it is described in the book, it makes sense. I had just never thought …

Archives The Carnegie book has already been very useful to me this semester. I actually have groups and semester-long group projects in 3 of my 4 classes this semester and it has really helped me learn how to handle them. The book is not simply about making friends but just …
Softening the blow of criticism by starting with praise. This seems like a such a simple thing but its very rarely implemented. For example, when I was growing up, my brother played AAU Baseball. My dad was at every single game my brother played. The problem was always the …
This is probably the portion of the book that I was most interested in reading. I am a very opinionated person and I feel strongly about my opinions but I have always struggled with getting people to see things my way. Based on Carnegie’s views, I’m going about it …
I will start by being completely honest and saying that I was not looking forward to having to read this book. However, that being said, I was hooked by page 1! I was not expecting a book titled “How to Win Friends and Influenced People” to start off by …
I watched this video a full three times before I fully understood all of. I had never really thought about why the most successful companies are actually the most successful even though other companies make products that are just as good. According to Sinek, these companies are successful because …
I truly loved this speech! The reaction you can hear from the crowd when he tells them that they are not special was pretty funny. While his speech was entertaining, his words truly made sense. Our generation spends the majority of childhood being told we were all amazing, we …
I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical of this article and I really didn’t know what to expect. Honestly, what could dark matter possibly have to do with empathy? As it turns out, I was pretty wrong! I truly loved the way author managed to relate dark matter …
Before I read this article, I had no idea there was such a thing as a “smart learner”. I always thought you either learned or you didn’t. I did learn something about myself though. I am not a smart learner. I have a few of the qualities such as …
So for our very final assignment, we were asked to give advice for future students. Professor Bond does send out an e-mail before the semester starts warning about the amount of work and time required for the course. Definitely take that e-mail to heart, he’s serious! The work itself …

Well the time has come. We all know Canada and Russia have been conspiring against us all along. President Trump was planted specifically for this purpose. He can try to deny his Russian contacts all he wants but we know the truth. It all goes down next week. The …
This week all of the agents had to create Twitter polls based on the other agents characters and then participate in the polls created by others. Even though the class uses Twitter a lot, I’m still very new to it and don’t really know how it works so this …

I started off by brainstorming ideas for a mission that the class could participate in. I wasn’t able to think of much but you can find my idea here.
Next, 12 stars worth of video assignments. At least 6 of these stars had to involve my character for …
For this assignment, we had to create a Vine of an object moving. Since Vine no longer exists, I took the creative liberty of using SnapChat instead. I thought a video of an inanimate object moving is pretty dull so I decided to take a short clip of Agent …
For this assignment, I had to video myself (or Agent A in this case) doing something they like to do in my downtime. In this case, Agent A is enjoying her favorite treat, a bully stick. I made a short clip with an introduction and of myself handing her …
