Effective Experiment Part 2

y favorite non-fiction writers are Stephen Covey and Malcolm Gladwell. Covey wrote the best-selling work The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Covey list seven behaviors that set apart mundane and extraordinary people. Since the novel's inception, many renditions of the work are now available for different life stages, including The 7 Habits for Happy Kids and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Gladwell distinguishes himself from other authors correlates historical events to current events. Besides being on the New York Times Best Selling list five times, he also hosts the Revisionist History podcast. Revisionist History allows its listener to be transported across time and space to get a global perspective of societal issues.

Inspired by both men, I decided to conduct a Gladwell-esqe experiment asking people at different life stages the ultimate Covey question, " What makes a person effective?" To do this experiment to the best of my ability, I went on my LinkedIn, where I scoured my connections to determine who would be the best fit for this project. I realized that the answer to this question changes as one grows and evolves. So, I decided to divide people into life stages and ask them for their answers.

Post Grads

They were supposed to be apart of the Second Coming of the Roaring Twenties. Instead of roaring good times, COVID-19 has caused a mass migration towards their parents' home. As hiring freezes and diminishing job markets creep around every corner, these post-grads have to develop Plan-B or Plan-C to journey into this brave new world. Some work from home, while others go to post-secondary school. Some might be currently looking for jobs or working temporary jobs. They don't know what's next. Yet, these people actively work towards a better tomorrow.
