A professor at Washburn University, Dr. Eugene Williams., and I will be focusing on how he became a professor here at Washburn and how he achieved his goals and success. He has a Bachelor of Arts Broadcast and Film Communications, from the University of Alabama. He has a Master’s Degree of Business Administration from the University of Mobile. Dr. Williams teaches MM100 and MM 432 at the Washburn University. He is the CEO of KTWU. I found an article about Dr. Williams. The subject of the article was Business Hall of Fame: Eugene Williams. This article talks about what he did in his life to be successful, and what challenges he overcame.
There is a lot of responsibility in every job. Dr. Williams’s responsibility at his job here at Washburn University, is to take care of the operation stations 5-6 at KTWU. It took him a long time to get where he is right now. There are a lot of sacrifices that he took in his life to get where he is now. One of his biggest sacrifices was moving far away from his family, friends, and his community at a very young age in order to pursue his career. “I like doing a lot of different things, when you like doing a lot of different things, it is not that you are not focused because you are focused but in wide area,” Dr. Williams said. He has a lot of responsibilities at his job and he can’t do one thing at a time, so doing a lot might make you a little slow at finishing or completing things, but that does not mean that you are not focused. “People have called me this Renaissance man,” Dr. Williams said.
When he was going through college his cousins and friends thought he fixed televisions instead of making television shows, and he had to explain his major and career to them. “Over my career I got to meet a lot of athletes, entertainers, and politicians,” Williams said. In that career, doing a lot in television, you’re going to meet a lot of famous people in your life. “I would go and spec out things for Oprah,” said Williams, and a lot of people get amazed when he tells them that. He likes to do a lot of things and trying to understand what his goals, he likes a little bit of stress to make him do what he has to do to finish what he wants in his job. He would always be 5-6 steps ahead and he says that it is working perfectly for him. When you do things in advanced, you get more time to go back and edit them or ask on how to get a certain part done perfectly. You will always get better results when you work ahead. To be successful, you want to get up and just do what you got to do. Some people feel motivated by their families. “I have a fear of missing out,” said Williams. That’s a personality trait that he has; he doesn’t want to go back and say I missed out. By not missing out he became successful in his career. When you ask people what their biggest success in their life is, some might say I graduated college, others might say I made a million dollars, then you discount what you would do today or tomorrow by saying that was my success. You define yourself by something that happened in the past, “what I am doing now is my biggest success” said Williams.
He enjoys a lot in what he is doing here at Washburn, “In broadcasting you get a lot of liberty,” Dr. Williams said. When he was running camera, he could walk in on stars just because he had a camera on his shoulder. As a producer, he got to work with different types of people, including poor people, young people, old people and millionaires. But it’s not good to abuse what you’re doing; you might hate it one day and think that you won’t want to do it anymore, so making time for your career and time for other things will make you love what you’re doing.
In class while teaching, Dr. Williams likes to be a big brother to everyone in his class. He teaches the class in a different way that’s not like other professors. He makes students smile and laugh through his class. He teaches, then does little games. For example, he puts people in groups, gives them pictures, and then asks each group what they think of each picture. In that way, students enjoy class by learning and being competitive with each other Students will learn faster and will remember it from how Dr. Williams was teaching. He makes class fun for students. He discusses points clearly for every student to understand. One of his students says, “I enjoy coming to class every Monday for two hours and 30 minutes,” Tariq Alenzi said, Dr. Williams always talks with them after class and makes sure that we are happy or talks about things outside of class to help you in life. “I always enjoy talking with him after class,” Alenzi said. After class some students will stick around to talk to him not about class or homework but life situations, and they enjoy laughing with him. He is a humorous person. “He respects me a lot and always makes sure I am doing well in the United States,” Essa Adarbi said. Dr. Williams would always ask if his international students are doing ok, and if anything bad happened, he would try to inform you where to go or lead you in the right direction.
