”We’ve all heard of the glass ceiling, but there is also the sticky floor! Women are good at finding reasons not to do things for fear of not being up to par. At the McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA program, “being up to par” does not exist. All that matters is to be “the best you can be.” This program propels you forward, and sometimes in an unexpected direction! But one thing is certain: you will be better afterwards than before, both personally and professionally. Give yourself the most beautiful gift: bet on yourself. ”
