What to Expect When You're Applying with Olivia Dobiecki
When you’re the first in your family to move through the application process, it’s easy to feel lost and overwhelmed. What do students need in order to feel supported, knowledgeable, and confident throughout this journey?
Peeking Behind the Curtain: A Unique Perspective of the Apply Yourself Way
In this week’s episode, I speak with Olivia Dobiecki, our wonderful administrative assistant who has been part of the Apply Yourself family for the past 18 months. Olivia has not only seen it all during this time, she also has firsthand experience with our programs. In this candid conversation, she shares behind-the-scenes insights regarding our client successes, and describes her own experiences in our Mastering Academic Applications program and The Success Society, our invite-only private coaching.
You’ll discover:
- How shifting the application process from a confusing maze of open tabs to a manageable and streamlined action plan helped clarify Olivia’s career goals
- How a non-competitive community of peers can help ease the stress of waiting to hear back from institutions
- Why Olivia considers visualization to be such a powerful and important decision-making tool
- When she recommends enrolling in Apply Yourself — and how her own timeline ended up saving her time, money, and a lot of stress!
