Lunch with a leader: Jon Moore
On 15th November the Faculty of Engineering hosted a 'Lunch with a Leader' session with Jon Moore, CEO of Bloomberg NEF. We had 15 students who attended the lunch, and it was wonderful to see how interested they were.
They found Jon really inspiring and were engaged from start to finish, particularly taking on board his thoughts about looking after your mental health in the workplace and his take home message that you don’t have to burn yourself out to become successful.
The feedback afterwards from the students was very positive and they all agreed that Jon was thoroughly inspiring, and his journey from university life through to his progression to the world of finance was interesting. Some feedback quotes from the students:
“Very good lunch with Jon, he provided us all with a thorough insight into his progression from university to the world of finance. Motivated and inspired would be two words that explain how I feel coming away from the lunch. Grateful for the opportunity that was provided to me, many thanks.”
“Jon is so kind to answer all questions and shared insights on them.”
“It was very informative with a lot of tips and insights about starting a business.”
“Jon was very open and provided a deep insight into all questions we asked.”
“So happy to have lunch with a CEO and chat with him. Jon helped me to see a clear career path.”
“Learning to adopt a growth mind set and to forward plan efficiently are two key takeaways from the event.”
“My two key takeaways were (1) motivation: how to plan my career (2) insight: ways to improve ourselves.”
