The course, Creativity & Personal Mastery, taught by Professor Srikumar Rao begins next week at the London Business School. I will be the teaching assistant for the course together with a colleague of mine.

The course is an experiential journey, and I am looking forward to helping the students get the most out of the class.

One of the first assignments is to produce a personal essay. It serves as a short snapshot of where one is right now… a starting point. Later in the course, we turn our focus to our ideal job: something many of us spend a lot of time looking for, but often don’t spend much time attempting to create or describe. The ideal job, or even ideal life is the end point.

What comes between the start and the end is the journey. It is essential to understand where you are and where you want to go to be able to figure out the best way to get there. Defining a path provides direction and clarity about how to act.

This week’s topic is about getting the most from the journey - looking at the starting point, the end point and everything in between.
