First impression: You are really good at using humor to express really deep emotions and show vulnerability. Hearing about your tough year and the big change you have coming up, made me realize how much you have going on behind that very positive outside and recognize what a superstar you are!

Looking back: You used humor and relatability to tell a story about responsibility, tough decisions and dedication to the people you love. What impressed me the most is even with the heavy burden of having to take care of everyone around you you show incredibly empathy for your brother, your wife and your son. You take on challenges with a natural courage – making all your stories not those of adversity or sadness but of resilience.

Vision: Looking forward to your piano skills in all casts after all that build up! Your vision showed your depth of thought and consideration for others. Any organization would be lucky to have a person like you on their team.

We have gotten to know each other very well this quarter and I continue to be in awe of how you have navigated difficult situations with grace and humor. From the first class, I saw how open, caring, and brave you were after dealing with different challenges over the past year. You have somehow made everything work and that is very impressive in itself! It is also clear that you prioritize your family and that you are selfless, specifically shown in how you took care of your brother. Your vision of owning a coffee shop and being the pianist fits so well with your background. I continue to look forward to working with you in Special K! this year and hopefully we can get you prepared for your pianist role in the future.

1st Impression

You’re frank and don’t sugarcoat anything. Your energy is awesome, and it’s inspiring how you just roll with the punches and don’t let adversity get in your way.

Looking Back

Your story really helped connect the dots of your aspirations and life today. Your scrappiness and loyalty are impressive and so genuine. I’d love to be on a team with you and know I can depend on you.

Aware

Throughout PLI, it’s apparent you’re quite self-aware, and that awareness certainly has helped you be an effective leader, father, friend, etc. I really loved your highlighting the fact you enjoy the spotlight because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and it just shows your awareness.

Class 1 Introductions

Genuine, authentic, a great storyteller. You look calm but also has a power and energy deep in your heart. Hoped you can find the right personality test in this class.

Class 3 Looking Back Exercise

You are a great storyteller who can show rather than tell. I was able to imagine every scene of your story. And I felt like those memories have grown up yourself into a genuine, mature person.

Class 7 Vision board/Leadership Statement

You did a great job of telling a beautiful story about your future life. There is always love for your family and love for people around you in your stories. I believe you are already a great, warmhearted Kellogg leader.

3 Keywords: Inclusive, unpretentious, authentic

The word 'inclusive' from your list of five strengths consistently comes to mind when I reflect on words to characterize you. Your openness to others and deliberate avoidance of hasty judgments are truly thoughtful and admirable. It's evident that your life experiences, both the highs and lows, have shaped the person you are today—a person with a lot of stories to share, yet you do so without a hint of pretension. Additionally, I perceive a soul in a love for music, arts, and self-expression, adding layers to your authenticity.

You evoke the spirit of both Santa Claus and Rudolph (choosing between them was a delightful challenge!), the seasonal superstars. You are the anticipated and deeply trusted figure for your family like Santa Claus ,and simultaneously, the one who illuminates the stage with a positive energy, much like Rudolph.🎅

What do you think of when you think of this person?

# data[].attributes.body
Keyu, when I hear your name, I think comically of a Wendy’s frost and French fires, but more seriously of someone setting out with a giant load in tow to hike Mount Everest.

No, you have not mentioned an affinity for hiking – but what you have decided to do and the way you have approached life inspires me almost to the same degree.

You came to the US as a child alone. You did not complain but took advantage of every opportunity. You raised your brother, you are raising your son Liam, you are building a home, you are finding a new job and bettering yourself, you are expressing creativity, and you are supporting your wife’s dreams. To me, that sounds like one hell of a mountain to climb… I look at you with a lot of admiration and respect.

I also think of the story you told after you fell off the bike and looked up at the moon.

Keyu, my first impression of you was that you were an engineer – ever skeptical and highly structured in how you thought and acted. But as I got to know you more, I think of all people in our group/class my first impression was proven fairly off-base. In our first class, which was also our first chance to meet, you spoke openly and frankly about your return offer situation. I was impressed by the honesty. I was also highly intrigued by the “personal drama” you alluded to – the type that meant you would suddenly have much more free time. In truth, I thought you were newly divorced and I was deeply curious to hear your story.

Mountain: You have taken on challenges so far in your life that many people are too afraid to tackle. I have no doubt you’ll summit and then some.

Moon: You are well balanced and well rounded – you have a gravitational pull that draws people in and makes them feel seen, appreciated, and joyful when near you. The story you told around feeling alone and overcoming adversity in the US when you looked up at the moon is one I won’t soon forget.

Giver: In getting to know you, it is clear you put the needs of others above your own on a daily basis. Whether it be friends, family, or colleagues – I think people are lucky to have you in their life.

First Impression: Resilient. Kind-soul. How you explained the moment of the grocery bags breaking and it felt like a low point in your life, but not letting it keep you down for long, was truly inspiring. I think we can all connect with those moments, and you allowed us to do that with your strong story telling ability. Your dedication to family was also something I connected with. You should feel incredibly proud of how you have supported your brother from a young age.

Visions: Loved that you led with how you are going to support your wife. Those of us with JVs can all learn from your example!

First impression:

I mat you in improv class and thought you were really funny and smart person from the ideas that you came up with instantly.

Reflection:

You are a great storyteller. I couldn’t wait to hear what happens next throughout your entire story. I could also feel your love for your little brother.

Vision:

I could see that you are empathetic, and humorous person that everyone would love to work with and work for. You will make a great leader. I also love your retirement plan. I would love to visit your bar and listen to you playing the piano!

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression is that you are very mature and have so many worldly experiences especially because you had to take care of a child at a young age. The amount you are able to juggle, from family to Special K and recruiting, is inspiring.

Three Words that come to mind: Family, Bold, Joy

Your role as a pillar in your family is truly commendable, especially when you stepped up to raise your younger brother in your 20s. Way to step up when your family needs you! When you shared your looking back story during the looking back exercise your passion and gratitude really showed. You are multi-talented and not afraid to share it. Your boldness in theater performance is an impressive trait you possess. You cherish joy and express it through various talents, such as playing the piano. I greatly admire your eagerness to explore your leadership style and your ability to juggle being a father, partner, and student while finding joy in the various roles you play.

My First Impression: When I first met you, I thought that you were a nice person because you kindly let me try your scooter when I shared that I hadn’t used an electric one before. Whenever I’d see you, you’d often be with your family, so I knew that you really cherished and valued them.

My Hope for Your Future:  I hope you persist in making your family proud while also finding time to relish the things you love, like theater and basketball. May you discover a career that offers balance and successfully achieve your goal of utilizing your experience to assist people who are new to the U.S. acclimate to life here.
