Students can apply the same investment principles when taking decisions in professional life – incl. when they decide their career choices (where to invest the time capital of life). And that their professional journey post-graduation on the 4 pillars of any investment: Risk-Return –Investment-Mindset will mirror the life cycle of any enterprise from a startup (risk seeking) to VC to PE (more conservative) to finally being a Listed company where employers will sell and exit if they do not perform (with multiple turnarounds on the journey).

This is in addition to Demystifying Investments - PEVC described aboveThe course uses psychometric assessments to give participants a basis for their SWOT for their future strategy for personal and professional life. Strategic leadership is a business practice in which executives, using different styles of management, develop a vision for their organization that enables it to adapt to or remain competitive in a changing economic and technological climate. Strategic leaders use this vision to motivate employees and departments, fostering among them a sense of unity and direction in order to implement change within their organization. Multiple studies of senior executives across the globe have found a shortage of strategic leaders across industries. Only 8-10 % of the CXO level respondents turned out to be strategic leaders. The principles of business strategic leadership apply equally to our personal lives. Most successful leaders are intensely strategic about their personal life and have a clear vision and mission of their life customers with a concomitant action plan. The course is based on the premise that our purpose, our reason for being, is what sustains us—both in work and outside; in good times, and particularly in bad times. Purpose is what gives us the energy to get out of bed every day, to push forward in the face of obstacles, to keep going even in difficult times. Purpose allows us to grow, to live in harmony with who we are and what we believe in, and gives us the space to be the best we can be. Thinking strategically about one’s own personal life and resources would be a decisive factor to determine individual success in corporate life and could be a secret sauce to achieve happiness and sense of achievement. This course is not about business but the lateral application of principles used therein to your personal life esp. for non- business careers. Show less
