Our way to STRIVE!

I would never have thought that we would place 2nd in the STRIVE Conference competition. I鈥檓 not saying that we do not deserve to win, I am just so thrilled to see this result from my first ever case competition I participated in. On the contrary, my team and I not only did a great job, but we were also debating how the 1st place winners were able to outperform us.

I was pulled back and forth when deciding whether I felt I should enter the case competition with a group of friends鈥︹淚t would be fun鈥濃︹淏ut it would take too much time鈥濃 鈥淚 could meet new leaders in industry鈥濃 鈥淏ut what if we lose鈥.

So, naturally, I weighed the outcomes with a pros and cons list.

There is no better time to try new things than in this virtual learning environment! In early November, I participated in my first case competition with a few friends at the University of Guelph鈥檚 first ever Lang Tax Case Conference.

Next time you get an opportunity to register for a case competition, I strongly suggest you do it鈥 you won鈥檛 regret it. When I was in my second year of the AFM program, I had an intense interest in competing. I had seen my friends and peers find success when competing and I wondered if I could as well.

Recently, I participated in the Schulich RISE Strategy Discipline Case Competition, where delegates from various prestigious Canadian universities compete with each other by solving a complex business problem.
