I recently had the privilege of connecting with YPO NextGen and Butler University DECA at Butler University - Lacy School of Business. We had an engaging conversation on career development and the role mentorship plays in identifying and leveraging strengths. It was truly an honor to share experiences, insights, and ideas with such an engaged and passionate group. As we explored the importance of mentorship in navigating career paths, I was reminded of the profound impact guidance and support can have on personal and professional growth. Mentorship isn't just about imparting knowledge. It's about building meaningful connections, fostering confidence, and empowering others to reach their full potential. Thank you Nick Smarrelli and Robert Kirch for having me. It was a privilege to connect.
Always inspiring to hear your journey and LDI's epic run as one of Indiana's darling companies. Thanks for staying engaged, JA!
JA. Love this post because I know the value mentorship has had in my life. So important for those of us with some experience to help the next generations of business leaders. Are you ready for ski season? You’ve given me a goal to increase my runs to 50 this year- now it just needs to warm up!
Amazing job! It was a pleasure having the opportunity to meet you last night. Go Dawgs!
Thank you so much J.A. Lacy for passing along your experience and wisdom to our students! We would love to see you back again soon 😊
Hi J.A., it’s inspiring to see leaders like you actively supporting and guiding our future leaders. Mentorship is indeed a powerful tool for personal and professional growth that's often overlooked. The world of finance, especially alternative asset investment, is a dynamic and complex one. By sharing your experiences, you help these young minds prepare for this journey. It's incredible to see how mentorship can also help individuals better understand emerging markets and how they can leverage them to their advantage. It would be exciting to see if they also explore the role of hedge funds and digital assets as part of their future strategies. Keep up the excellent work!
Leadership is all about developing others and living those values. So pleased to see that in action in you. ❤️
Look forward to partnering with the talent at the Butler University - Lacy School of Business to create mutual learning and growth opportunities at #OIAGLOBAL.
Great opportunity for them and for you! Most of us can see what value there is in someone with experience helping future leaders along their paths.
That’s our guy. Nice work JA
