On Saturday, October 5th, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the ALPFA Philadelphia Chapter Chapter Student Summit, partnered with the ALPFA Villanova Chapter. A huge thank you and congratulations to Miguel N. for leading his first event at ALPFA Philly, and to the entire ALPFA Villanova team for organizing such a warm and welcoming experience! I also appreciate the opportunity to enter the raffle to win a free LinkGenie online card! I was fortunate to attend the summit with Jacqueline Cruz, Alejandro Cotrina, George G., and Frank Mora. We had a blast connecting with students from other universities, and we made some great memories together! One quote that truly resonated with me through the Q&A panel hosted by Eduardo Calderon came from Monique Muldoon, MBA, Vice President and Account Executive (Health Solutions-Human Capital) at Aon ??“You’re carrying your own personal brand.” This powerful reminder stayed with me throughout the event as I connected with professionals, gained valuable insights, and expanded my network. One of the highlights of the summit was meeting Debora Hernandez Ramos and Aby Rodriguez from Deloitte. Their “Defining Your Purpose” workshop was truly eye-opening, providing invaluable insights into understanding our strengths and weaknesses—not just in our professional lives, but in our everyday experiences. They patiently answered all of my questions (and there were quite a few!) and took the time to review my “Purpose Statement.” Their honest feedback helped me gain clarity on my strengths and weaknesses, encouraging me to dig deeper into what my true purpose is for my career. I left feeling inspired and more inspired to pursue my goals! I also attended Aon workshop led by Chris Saksa, MSC, Mike Boss, and Michelle Mayo. We had a great discussion about feedback, covering what makes it valuable, the challenges it brings, and how to apply it for personal and professional growth. The session was interactive, allowing us to share our experiences while giving and receiving feedback. Chris, Mike, and Michelle highlighted the importance of a feedback-rich environment where constructive criticism is welcomed. ??“Who is one person you trust and go to for feedback no matter good or bad?” Was the question of the hour. Their insights gave me hands-on strategies to hug feedback instead and use it effectively in my development. Thank you, I want to extend my gratitude once again to everyone who made this summit an unforgettable learning experience, I hope to see you all soon!
