Happy to say that I’ve officially completed the inaugural Plus3 Transfer Trip to Dublin. I couldn’t be more proud of myself. Beings that this was not only my first study abroad experience, but my first time leaving the country AT ALL, I don’t think I could’ve faired much better. There are a few big things…

Presenting… This Blog Post
It is a bittersweet day here in Ireland as many people departed for home. I am very happy to say I am spending tonight in Cork and enjoying some time here in Ireland with my family. However, I’m not sure anything can ever compare to the time I spent in Dublin with the Plus3 Transfer…
Ireland Day 13
My overall personal highlights from our trip were visiting the Cliffs of Moher and getting to know more people in the business school. The Cliffs were by the far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in nature. As far as meeting business students, none of the people that I am close with at…
Presenting Strengths and Weaknesses
Public speaking and presenting is one of the most vital skills for any successful career. I have always enjoyed public speaking and have never had too much of a problem doing it. I don’t get too nervous and I’m usually able to keep my cool. One area I consider a main strength is my ability…
Presenting about an Irish company in Ireland!
Yesterday was our last class at Griffith College as well as my group presentation about Bord Bia Irish Food Board. The presentation was based on our site visit and what we learned from the lectures and tour given by the employees. We did some research about Bord Bia to include an overview of the company…
Jerry Seinfeld Talks Public Speaking
I’ve landed in HOTlanta; the first thing I did upon landing back in the USA was shove a Five Guys burger down my gullet and it was an incredibly enriching experience. In all seriousness, its nice to be back in some familiarity – despite the fact that I’ve never been to Atlanta before. Moving on…
Ireland Day 12
On Friday we ended our trip with team presentations regarding the site visit that we visited an were assigned to talk about. Presentations are certainly not one of my strong suits. I always get extremely nervous when speaking in front of a group regardless of how many times I have done it in my life….
Thinking Out Loud (13)
Hello! Sadly, this is the last blog post before we depart for the States tomorrow. Our last day was well-spent; we finished out our final presentations, had a closing lunch with CAPA, and went to the Ed Sheeran concert (amazing). Without further ado, onto the topic of presentations… Even for the most extraverted people, public…
Presentations
Presentations are a part of life which, unfortunately, we cannot avoid. This is especially true in Pitt Business, because as everyone knows, the professors love to force you to do group projects which usually results in some sort of presentation. Group projects/presentations aren’t completely terrible if you have a good group who is willing to…
Plus3 Ireland: Three Years Forward (12)
Three years ago, I was finishing my senior year of high school. I was terrified to enter into the great unknown world of college. Since then, I’ve figured some things out, learned some life lessons, and gained some relevant experience. It may seem like I have it all together in comparison, but it will be…
Plus 3 Plus 3
In our short two weeks in Ireland, it has been easy to see that even within a country with so much history, things are changing very rapidly. The whole world is changing rapidly with the advancement of technology, and Ireland is also changing due to this and the newly added multinationals. If we were to…
Presentation Skills to Pay the Bills
Despite being quiet and reserved in most social settings, for whatever reason I don’t really mind giving presentations. I used to get extremely nervous but the more I present, the more confident I feel. One thing I always value in presentations is the presenter’s ability to be relatable yet professional without getting too stuffy. I…
Plus 3 Ireland in 3
If you were to talk to a middle aged person from Ireland, I’m sure you’d hear all about how the Dublin they grew up in is nowhere near the Dublin of today. Even in my lifetime, Dublin has transformed into a huge hub for technology and become home to some of the biggest names in…
Future Ireland
As this amazing trip wraps up, I am already thinking about the next chance I will have to return— possibly bringing my family with me. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the country and learning about Ireland’s deep-rooted history. Dublin has rapidly changed in recent years, and will continue to evolve as more years pass and people…
3 Year Reunion
A lot has changed in Ireland over the last few years specifically within Dublin. We have seen productivity skyrocket with large multinational companies shifting into the city as well as stimulus from the government for Irish companies. There are also many different political topics that have come to the forefront including Brexit an the referendum…
Amazon Presentation
I’m pretty ok at presenting. I usually do well if I know what I’m talking about and don’t have to worry about the length of the presentation. I’m good at articulating my points so that it’s simple for everyone to follow. Additionally, I’m good at keeping the audience focused. I usually try to keep it…
Back to the Future: Irish edition
The question that I will be answering in today’s blog is “What will Ireland look like in 3 years, and how is that different from today?” Since being in Ireland we have witnessed the evidence and proof of all the great things we learned about Ireland’s booming economy. Both companies and young talent are flooding…
Last Supper
Unfortunately, today was our last full day in Ireland 🙁 As i’m writing this, i’m also finishing up with all of my packing and wondering where all the time has gone. With these last couple days, we’ve also had our final presentations! Each group was assigned to a particular company where they took the “lead”…
3 years later
After this experience I am very impressed with Ireland and the city of Dublin. The Irish government has done a great job rebounding after the 2008 recession. Just in the past 5 years the whole Docklands area has transformed into a hub for innovation and big multinational businesses. In my opinion if we were to…
Presenting Your Plane Ticket: Ireland Coming to a Close
Public speaking: it is considered one of the most common phobias. Three out of four individuals suffer from a phobia of public speaking. On average, those unable to present or speak in public have a salary of 10% less. This is a tremendous difference. As business students we are looking to market ourselves. It is…
