The Fuqua Show
E43 - This Too Shall Pass: Challenge, Failure, and Resilience (Aurni Zaman)
Aurni Zaman (Class of 2024) currently serves as the President of COLE, the Coach K Center for Organization, Leadership, and Ethics. She's thriving in her second year of MBA, but it wasn't an easy journey to get here. Aurni shares her challenges during her first year at Fuqua - social isolation in a new country, imposter syndrome, mental health, and recruiting consulting and not getting any offers. She also covers her life before Duke - growing up in Bangladesh, being a makeup YouTuber, and founding her country's first ever scented candles business.
We applaud Aurni for being open about how her struggles and failures made her who she is today. Remember that whatever challenges you're facing - no matter how big, small, or silly they seem - you can push through and come out on the other side as a stronger and happier person.
