Reginald Ponder Critical Response

In my JPW250 class at TCNJ, we have had a variety of journalists, freelance writers, and CEOS of progressive marketing companies chat with our class via skype. The first professional we talked to was Reginald Ponder, the CEO of E Morris Communications and a film critic through his website titled, "Reel Critic". His skype chat was interesting and informative. I believe the most important thing that Ponder discussed was his idea of promoting yourself. Throughout the chat, Ponder stressed to our class that you should always be conscious of your own self-worth and that you should be confident in your endeavors. Much like the article titled "The Brand Called You", Ponder stresses the idea of promoting yourself, having self confidence, and finding your motivation to achieve your goals.




I respect what Ponder says because he has most definitely come across the idea of promoting and finding himself throughout his life. Ponder graduated from Princeton with a degree in sociology. Ponder was the first to acknowledge that this degree in sociology does not normally translate into the business world. However, Ponder used the information he gained from being a sociology major coupled with his desire to be a successful businessman to advance himself. This process indicates to me that life doesn't always follow a straight path. However, if you have confidence in yourself you can become successful in anything.
