Describe a time when you
took a great risk. What was
the outcome?
Neha Vashishta,!
International MBA Candidate
Where I was
❖ I was working in a good position in
a multi-national company!
❖ I had a good pay!
❖ I had been called to the US to work
from the client location!
❖ I was engaged to be married!
❖ Life was good!
Why risk it?
❖ I was working in US!
❖ My fiancé, Nishant was working in
the UK!
❖ I wanted us to live together after
our marriage!
❖ My company had no prospects for
me in UK!
❖ One of us had to quit!
The big risk
❖ Nishant was already in the UK for over two years. He
wanted to settle there!
❖ After a swot analysis, I decided to quit and join him
after our marriage!
❖ So, I quit my job and came back to India and got busy
preparing for our wedding
The risk back-fired
❖ Nishant’s project in the UK ended unexpectedly!
❖ He had to return to India seriously upsetting our plans!
❖ Wedding + Holiday Plan + Setting up home in India
meant a hit to our savings!
❖ And I didn’t have a job
We can do this!
❖ No problem! Let’s go on the holiday we planned. ( more
risk, but we can handle it! )!
❖ We’ll get back and start afresh!
❖ Visited the places I always wanted to see!
❖ Met Nishant’s friends in the UK!
❖ Had a great time!
❖ Came back home refreshed and rejuvenated
The recovery
❖ My job-hunt started on returning to India!
❖ Joined Global Logic at a senior position with twice the
salary I was drawing earlier!
❖ Savings started to grow again
“The man who knows it can’t be done counts the
risk, not the reward.”
- Elbert Hubbard
The rewards
❖ Married Nishant, my pillar of strength!
❖ Because we stayed in the country we got to know each
others’ families better!
❖ Got a better job as a result I am now working with
Google!
❖ Gained more confidence in myself by keeping a positive
attitude during the trying times!
❖ As they say - “try try try, until you succeed”
The learning
❖ Plans don’t always work!
❖ Keeping a positive outlook helps you get through
difficult situations!
❖ Being preceded by a lot of hard work makes leisure all
the more enjoyable
“You must lose a fly to catch a trout.”
- George Herbert
Thank You.
