[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:07.530
Me, Inc. is a signature part
of the Kelley Full-Time MBA

00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:08.340
program.

00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:12.360
It is our three-week, immersive
professional development

00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:15.390
experience for our
brand new students.

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:19.230
It takes place before the
students have even attended

00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:21.450
their first MBA courses.

00:00:21.450 --> 00:00:24.150
Me, Inc., I think for
me, I would summarize it

00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:27.900
as a period of
discovery, the chance I

00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:30.340
had to talk about my story.

00:00:30.340 --> 00:00:34.230
I think that kind of helped
me understand where I've been,

00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:38.070
where I'm at currently, and
where I'm poised to get to.

00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:40.620
Me, Inc. is all about
exploring yourself

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:42.210
and a lot of introspection.

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:44.910
You get to know your inner self.

00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:46.860
And the best part
is that you get

00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:48.990
to do with all your
classmates around you.

00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.340
So you connect with
them more closely.

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:57.420
We have students spend some time
crafting their personal brand,

00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:01.590
thinking about what kind of
experiences and skill set

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:04.000
are they going to share
with recruiters that

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.040
reinforce that personal brand.

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.500
Your personal brand is not only
a reflection of your integrity

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:13.090
and who you are and
what you believe,

00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:15.580
but it's also what you
want to portray to others

00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:17.595
and how you want
others to perceive you.

00:01:17.595 --> 00:01:18.970
I will say the
biggest thing that

00:01:18.970 --> 00:01:20.980
resonated with me
is how I've been

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:23.770
able to connect my values
as a person to my values

00:01:23.770 --> 00:01:24.790
as a professional.

00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:26.590
When you really
reflect on what matters

00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:28.360
to you as an
individual, it starts

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:30.490
to fall in line like the
certain professional paths

00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:31.323
that I want to take.

00:01:31.323 --> 00:01:33.280
My favorite thing
was we put together

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.190
a 30-second speech called
"Tell Me About Yourself,"

00:01:36.190 --> 00:01:38.830
where we give our pitch
that we'll use at networking

00:01:38.830 --> 00:01:40.300
conferences or in interviews.

00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:42.490
And we stood in a line.

00:01:42.490 --> 00:01:45.783
And then we just rapid
fire gave our speech

00:01:45.783 --> 00:01:47.950
to all of those people over
and over and over again.

00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:51.280
And it was a really succinct
way to improve quickly.

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.482
I think the Case
Competition, while one

00:01:53.482 --> 00:01:54.940
of the more
challenging things that

00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:57.110
I think you do as part
of the Me, Inc. program,

00:01:57.110 --> 00:01:58.990
it's just a really
good opportunity

00:01:58.990 --> 00:02:01.360
to work under pressure,
work with the team.

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:04.383
You get some of the hard skills
that you need for consulting.

00:02:04.383 --> 00:02:05.800
But on the other
hand, you're also

00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:09.440
developing some soft skills
with teamwork and collaboration.

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:12.025
I think the biggest
takeaway I have from the Me,

00:02:12.025 --> 00:02:16.180
Inc. program is that this
MBA program is more than just

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:18.520
building my quantitative and
core foundational business

00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:19.130
skills.

00:02:19.130 --> 00:02:21.010
It's about making
the relationships.

00:02:21.010 --> 00:02:23.950
You really find out
who you are and how

00:02:23.950 --> 00:02:28.270
you can connect your
personality, your skills,

00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:30.730
to put yourself in
the best position

00:02:30.730 --> 00:02:34.060
to succeed going through
this experience and something

00:02:34.060 --> 00:02:37.720
that I think won't just
affect me for my time

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:39.580
here at Kelley but for my life.

00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:43.270
Often, people are expected
to know exactly what they

00:02:43.270 --> 00:02:46.210
want to do the minute they step
onto the campus of a business

00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:46.870
school.

00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:49.300
But with Me, Inc., you
really have some time

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:51.790
to do some introspection
on your own

00:02:51.790 --> 00:02:54.640
and figure out where you want
to take the degree while having

00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:57.100
the support of your
classmates and the faculty all

00:02:57.100 --> 00:02:58.330
before classes start.

00:02:58.330 --> 00:03:00.910
I don't know of any
other MBA program

00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:03.280
that does something like we do.

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.540
And students derive a tremendous
amount of value from it.

00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:09.900
We're proud of that.

00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:15.000

"Switching from a non-corporate career and having a different background—growing up on a low-income—it seemed like everyone spoke a lingo I didn’t know. I reached a point early on in my Academy where I wasn’t sure I could do it. I really am thankful for my classmates who did not let me give up."
