“So what are your plans after college?” It’s a question many seniors dread even if they know the answer. It feels like you’re being sized up by the person asking the question—it almost feels like a dare. “Answer correctly or be judged!”
In the Sullivan Foundation’s upcoming Skills-Based Sessions masterclass, facilitator Reagan Pugh and his team of coaches will help students learn to convey their personal stories in an effective and compelling way. Titled “How to Tell Your Story & Enlist Others in Your Cause,” the session takes place at 12 noon (ET), Wednesday, April 21. It’s free and open to the public.

The truth is, giving the “right answer” to that question isn’t the problem. The problem has to do with what you believe about yourself and recognizing your skills and interests. If you have a better idea of who you are, what you care about and what you’re capable of, you can answer with confidence.
In the upcoming session, you’ll learn about the right mindsets you need to tell your story as well as strategies to reflect on your life and future path, all in order to communicate with clarity and confidence.
