As the new year begins, you might spend some time creating lists - lists that include resolutions, goals, and maybe good books to read. That’s where this week’s podcast comes in. As 2018 kicks off, we spoke to some professors and professional staff members at William & Mary’s School of Business and asked them to recommend a book for you and other professionals to read in the new year - a book that can help you in your career. We spoke with three professors, the Head of our Graduate Career Management center, and the Executive Director of our Executive Partners and compiled a list of six books we think you’ll find interesting and helpful in the year ahead.

The end of another year. A good time for reflection. A good time to examine your life and career. In terms of your profession, one question you may want to ask yourself is: “Why?” Why do you do what you do? And is it the right fit. Our guest today encourages other to take time to examine their “why.” Quimby Kaizer is a Principle at KPMG. She recently spoke to MBA students at William and Mary about their “why,” and the way it connects with their “what” and “how.” The point being, when the three are aligned, you feel happy, fulfilled, and successful.

The elevator. Certainly not one of the great venues for communication. When most of us are in an elevator, we usually look up, look down, or look at our phones. Having a conversation in an elevator is rare and often uncomfortable. In October, the Wall Street Journal changed that when it launched an online video series that has quickly become popular with viewers and leaders. It’s called “In The Elevator With.” Each episode features a short conversation - around two minutes in length - that takes place in an elevator between reporter Joanna Stern and a business leader. Guests have included the CEOs of General Motors, Intel, and Buzzfeed. Ariana Huffington, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Shaquille O’Neal have been featured on the series. Stern, who is the Wall Street Journal’s tech columnist and Deputy Head of Video joins us today to talk about “In the Elevator With,” how it’s produced, and what it’s like to interact with the best in business.

Some young professionals living outside the United States today see the American M.B.A. - the Masters Degree in Business Administration - as a pathway to a job, and life, in the U.S. Many of those international students enroll in full-time M.B.A. programs where they quit their jobs, leave home, and study full time on campus for two years. International students are important to U.S. business schools. Among other things they bring diversity, a global viewpoint, and tuition dollars to the business school. Depending on the full-time M.B.A. program, international students make up one-third to one-half of the student body. But getting job in the U.S. can be a challenge for them. Marcelo Barros works with international students to help them find work in the U.S.  He’s a coach, consultant, and author of “The International Advantage: Get Noticed, Get Hired.” He joins us today to talk about how international students can find work after graduation.
