Assignment1: Creating my brand

My first original MBA assignment was "Create Your Brand". So, where should I start?
I should start by introducing myself, my brand. My brand was created in 1980 and its creators were a hippie Canadian man and a beautiful Portuguese woman, who accidently fell in love in the streets of Montreal. From this mix of latin roots, I was born. Ironically, my brand's name conveys my passions: Terra (the Earth, in Portuguese) and LaVita (Life, in Italian).
I grew up sustained by four pillars: family, friends, career and travelling. When one pillars starts to collapse the other three pull it up. Last year, the career pillar was starting to have some cracks. I had been working in the research area for too long and my career was stagnant. I needed to change. I was advised by my family and friends to apply for an MBA. I had identified the need to have a broader view of the business world and to adquire tools that would allow me to pursue my goals. Here I am. The first week was tough. Too much information, too many assignments, very little sleep, a lot of new faces, but at the end of the day I went back home, tired, but happy and motivated. I had gone back to school and I was learning again!
Concerning the four courses I have, and unexpectedly, the one I most enjoy is Marketing, which is an art where creativity is at its best.
These first two weeks have been crucial concerning my self-awareness process in this MyBrand creation. The EGOS forum was fascinating in the way that created a structure in my brain concerning personality profiles of the people with whom I interact and mainly of myself. It was a great starting point for all of us.
Secondly, the survey I completed today in the CRC site. Today, I was forced to really think in what and where I want to work in. I believe I've made a realistic and balanced decision. From now on I just have to keep on track.
