Why did you choose to attend The Sustainable Innovation MBA program?
If ever there has been an MBA program designed with disruption and creative destruction in mind, it’s this one. This MBA isn’t a fast track to Wall Street, it’s a fast track to learning how to be a serial industry disruptor.
What has been your favorite element/part of the program so far?
Not a single day goes by when I don’t learn something new.
What are three things someone considering the program should be aware of?
1. This is a fast moving program. Don’t forget to breathe.
2. Always be ready for opportunity.
3. After you remember to breathe, breathe again.
While you are taking time to breathe, make time to reflect. Material comes at you so fast that if you don’t actively make time for reflection, it’ll be difficult to create long lasting takeaways.
How has The Sustainable Innovation MBA benefitted you so far?
We meet a ton of professionals who are incredibly passionate about what they do. The opportunity to learn from their successes and failures is a gift.
