First Impressions: It was so great to get to meet you this quarter through PLI! My first impressions of you in class were that you are a very self-aware, honest, and kind person.

Looking Back Thoughts: I really appreciated how vulnerable you were willing and able to be during the looking back exercise. I have always admired the strength of mind required to open up about deeply personal subjects that are often difficult to talk about. That’s a journey that I have just barely begun to scratch the surface of and yet you do it so well – I think the fact that you are so honest about your own experiences to yourself makes you amazing about staying true to your values and goals. I also enjoyed hearing about your passion for your hobbies and future goals through your vision exercise. Really excited for you as you start a new chapter both personally and professionally!

Priyanka, I enjoyed seeing you present yourself and your story to our class.  I noted your ample energy, dynamic expression, and engaging gesticulations.

These all made it easier to take an interest in your story, which I think really made it possible to connect.  Your struggle with your eyesight impacted my own realization that I cannot take my health for granted, and better empathize with those who do not enjoy the same fortune.

I admire the quiet ambition revealed by your goal to start your own business.  I think that this can take advantage of your values and strengths but also address your needs in a really positive way.

First Impression:

Creative, Lots of energy, Social, Explorative

Looking Back:

I really connected with your experience last fall. It was so crazy to listen to your story and feel such a sense of connection (from understanding who your people are, to what’s important in life, to the surreal experience of watching Kellogg life when you are living through shit). I am sorry we both had to go through that ‘alone’ in many ways but I am so grateful to know you now.

Leadership:

I see you as a leader who inspires who values creative and uniqueness in herself and her team members. You lead by instilling a positive outlook and creating spaces for harmony and collaboration.

Looking Back Thoughts: Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story! I was so inspired by literally everything that you shared. I could not imagine moving to a new place and having to deal with such a traumatic health experience without being able to lean on friends and family. You are incredibly strong and your strength + authentic nature will serve you well in life. I hope that you continue to pour your good energy into the world.

First impression: Sincere; friendly; kind; energetic

Looking back: I was inspired by how dancing kind of shaped who you are. Dancing will continue to give you inner strength. I was impressed by how deep the bonding was between you and your parents. You were genuine about both the upside and downside (communication issue as you mentioned). I just couldn’t imagine how I’d get through if I was blind for 3 weeks. You are just so strong and so blessed to have family beside you.

First impression: seems genuine/honest, surprised that you are classically trained in ballet, seems creative, social, exploratory

Looking back: I loved that you were incredibly open in speaking about your experiences with your parents throughout your childhood & how that affects you today. You seem to have overcome a ton & understand that parents are human as well. All of your stories contained strength & perseverance.

I see you as a leader who is strong & will empower others to follow their true passions

First impression: You were upbeat and energetic in your self introduction. You have a sharp and quick witted attitude that is fun to be around!

Looking back: Out of everyone, I think your looking back gave me the most holistic look into who you are. I loved hearing about your reflection into dance and that it gave you your confidence (you really project it!). Your story about your parents' influence (in good and bad ways), hit home with me so hard, coming from an Asian immigrant household, too. And you took the scariest, most painful health situation and were able to find people and a value important to you. What strength you have.

Leadership Qualities: You're a brave leader! You were open about what you knew and didn't know yet (but I think you know what you want professionally more than you say you did). You're beautiful inside and outside and exude an enthusiasm that others want to be around. Even when you were sick in one class, you toughed it out and had fun. These qualities will all serve you well when you start a business.

First impression: My first impression of you was that you were bubbly, energetic, self-reflective, fun and engaging. You struck me as someone who wants to create connections and could rally a group of people around something with your positive energy.

Looking back: So much of your looking back resonated with me, especially the importance of quality relationships and the understanding that people who aren't there for you don't matter and your comment about not wanting to be your parents and repeat their mistakes while being grateful for them. You showed self-awareness and vulnerability through this exercise that I was really grateful for. You are clearly someone who commits, works hard, and doesn’t take anything in life for granted.

Leadership qualities: You are a leader who will easily motivate a team with your positive energy. Your enthusiasm is contagious. You are also empathetic and genuinely care about the people around you, including getting to know them on a deep level and understanding how they are doing.

Looking Back Thoughts: Your willingness to share your stories with the group reinforced for me the importance of knowing people on a personal level and understanding that there is so much more behind a person than a few conversations can uncover. You exemplified transparency during this exercise and your raw storytelling was refreshing in a place where people often wear "masks". Your values were so clear and I'm excited to see how you put these values to play post b-school.
