In this episode…
Dr. Preston Cherry's early career in the financial sector brought a number of successes, but he felt his true calling was elsewhere. As he thought about his future, he began "dreaming up." He wanted to be a speaker, a researcher, a business owner, and he decided the best path to achieving his dreams went through a doctoral program.
In this episode of An Unconventional Life, Dr. Preston Cherry discuss the variety of goals and objectives he has observed in his students and colleagues, the importance being true to your own goals (and not comparing yourself to others), and the necessity of intentionality in pursuing your goals and objectives. Dr. Cherry and Dr. Strickland also discuss their experiences with negative feedback during their doctoral studies and how they learned to learn from it.
