Designing Your Own Career
Created 11 years ago in Business / Getting Started

You don't actually have to pick one thing and just do that (really!) But you also don't want to just scatter your precious energy into the wind. Let's talk about how to DO ALL THE THINGS in a way that makes money and keeps you excited about life. I have spoken about career design at Yale University, to female artists at the Women in Comedy Festival, and at the Bullish Conference in Miami.

I met Jennifer when we were both teaching workshops at the Women in Comedy Festival in Boston a few years ago. I attended her workshop about how to cultivate multiple income streams, and it was money well spent! Jennifer is funny and engaging, and provides useful information and techniques you can implement immediately. She has a knack for taking complicated concepts and explaining them in a way that's accessible, and is extremely professional. I highly recommend Jen!

Jen takes a very powerful approach to work on all aspects of your test taking which is very helpful if you have an unconventional background. In addition to that her content development is just top league, definitely a step ahead of the test makers...

As a speaker, she's warm, engaging, and funny. She's got an Olympian amount of energy, and she always leaves the audience with practical, appealing tips for taking action. Simply put, she is a luminary, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

I facilitated interactive mock negotiation sessions with a dozen of sharp, smart and progressive women by festive hotel pool cabanas of the Surfcomber Hotel. It was a marvelous experience, and I am grateful to the beautiful brains of Jen Dziura who had the ballsy idea for The Bullish Conference, and the gumption to follow through on that ballsy idea.
Source: LinkedIn Ji Eun (Jamie) Lee Sep 12, 2014The greatest tool for upward mobility in society, I think, is education. Without education I would have been married to 3 wives and farming for a living: I was born and raised in a very remote part of Cameroon West Africa.
I need the GRE to postulate for the life’s dream and passion: securing admission to a PHD program in economics. I have no college Math – undergraduate degree in Marketing- and with no money to enroll for test preparation, my dream was starting to look like a long shot.
On Sunday September 8th, I was lucky enough to find an excellent GRE tutor. I discovered the Mondays with Jen videos by a simple goggle search.
Those videos have made my dream look more within my reach as they demystified the GRE. Jen not only gave me confidence by telling her personal story of getting really good at Math aged 25, she also
made learning exciting by all the funny jokes she told during her FREE online sessions: Only later found out after a goggle search that she is a comedian.
Above all, her insights on how to go about the test or with what mindset to approach each question type – “On each reading comprehension question, you must be able to PROOVE THE ANSWER!”- are takeaways you are unlikely to forget.
I am putting this out there for anyone who is in my situation and isn’t lucky enough to get "Mondays with Jen" when he/she goggles "Help with the GRE"
I can only imagine what it would be like to get help from her in person; I can only imagine....
Thank you Jen! Thank you!
Your student you have and might never meet

It's impossible to successfully convey the exact, scientific "WHY" Jen was so helpful in a few words. If you are both serious about and willing to put in the effort to best prepare for an exam, and want to know exactly how and why Jen maximizes potential - email me directly at nhgasiorowski@gmail.com and I will happily detail my reasoning.
In short: I think of an exam score as a simple math equation: Style & Amount of effort/study + your natural ability = SCORE. (YES, many more things like hours of sleep, or how stressed you are on test day, etc affect your score - but you can't change those in advance - I'm focusing on that what you CAN change...). You can't change your natural ability, you can only add to it by how you study/practice. Everything else is "fluff". Plenty of "tutors" advertise their success rates, the average scores of pupils, etc etc and none of it matters or is even verifiable. It's easy for a tutor to say their students average 750 on GMAT if they only tutor excellent subjects...but it doesn't help YOU. Jen's passion alone in how she changes the way you approach test problems, timing, study, etc is almost tangible. Add that to her extensive experience and knowledge, and she quickly becomes the best recipe to help you achieve your maximum score. Impacting mentorship is not as simple as it seems. The most brilliant person on earth might be terrible at teaching you how to 'get better', and the most passionate, connecting person on earth might not have any knowledge to impart on you. The combination of BOTH is what makes a tutor successful. I don't believe that "everyone can get an 800" if they simply work hard enough. I certainly cannot. But what Jen did was teach me to utilize every tactic, trick or tidbit of information to help me achieve the best score I possible could. Provided you are also willing to work hard, a successful tutor shouldn't be measured by your test score - he or she should be measured by how helpful he or she is in maximizing YOUR full potential - regardless of score. Email me if you're not convinced. Seriously.
