Hi PrepLounge, preparing for McK's PEI example on Entrepreneurial Drive and had 2 specific questions:
1. How literally should the "Entrepreneurial" part be taken? Does it have to be an entrepreneurship related event or can it be any example that stems from self-driven initiative?
2. Under the PARADE method, how would you communicate "decision-making rationale" in an Entrepreneurial Drive PEI example? It seems much easier to think about decision-making rationale for a Conflict Management example - essentially weigh options out loud on what path would best resolve conflict etc. However, it just seems a little harder to apply this similar thinking to the Entrepreneurial Drive example. Curious to hear your thoughts on this.
Hi Robert, I am the first in my family who has earned a uni degree. Also I graduated with highest distinction. Do you think these achievements would make a good entrepreneurial drive story? Or should it be more related to the business field? Thanks!

Hi, Without all details at hand I cannot give solid advice - but rather not. All candidates have a university degree and comparably good marks (maybe not always with distinction but still not bad), so that is actually the minimum I except you to have anyway. Depending on the specific challenges involved for you it might be possible to form a strong PEI example out of that, but we would need to discuss details in a coaching session though.
