The EMBA program has completely changed my view of relationships within my organization, opening my mind to the importance of networking and bonds between teammates, which allows me to move certain issues forward in the right way. More specifically, the Reflective Mindset and the Collaborative module gave me management tools and a better understanding of myself. Today, in this first role on a board of directors, I feel confident, thanks to these precious learnings, in facing the challenges of my new role.
