Day 2 of the UCB program began with a 30 minute reflection writing exercise, where they used the Canvas LMS to reply to their peers' posts on the discussion topics from Day 1.

 

The overarching theme of the day was "Building Social Capital" through communicating confidence and taking the first step toward a global business career reflecting on the Q&A from the Day 1 professional panel. The students prepared to share an "interesting and engaging" story about themselves with a goal of introducing themselves in a professional introductory video for their resumes. 

 

In the second workshop, titled Presentation Skills Practice: "Tell Me About Yourself", American entrepreneur Buddy Burke (profile below) was invited to speak on Pause, Pitch, and Pace--three important aspects of public speaking. Students were given a chance to record videos practicing this vital concept.
