Bring on Module Two!
It’s hard to believe that we’re nearing end of module one! My leadership and ethics classes have been excellent and I’m sad to see them coming to an end.
When I was applying to school and researching EMBA programs, “you get out as much as you put in” was a common refrain from recruiters and graduates. My coach used to say the same thing when I was training for bike racing. When I was training, I would dread interval days because they hurt. Although it seemed like my legs would fall off and my chest would explode, I knew that maximizing the intervals would make me a better racer. This is not unlike bending and flexing my brain around cash flow statements and developing my grand unified theory for leadership.
The past three months at Loyola have been a whirlwind and I’ve been putting a lot into my EMBA program. And just like cycling, sometimes we don’t realize how far we come with your training until we finish our first big race. As I near the end of module one and prepare my final projects, I am not only amazed at learning and experiences I’ve gotten so far, I’m ready for more!
