The MNSU I-O program taught me that there are many avenues to apply I-O Psychology to the business world. It taught me to feel confident in my specialized skill set that can provide value to businesses. My first job out of grad school was as a leadership development consultant. It gave me insight on how organizations were designing and implementing leadership development programs as well as how to provide coaching and feedback to leaders from Fortune 500 companies.
