My summer’s over in 4 days. I could not have wished for a better experience between my 1st and 2nd year at the GSB. The first 10 weeks I had spent at Google, working with an amazing Brand Solutions team, and the remaining 4 at a fitness start-up in Mexico City called Instafit. The latter […]
Read more "4 lessons from InstaFit that will make you a billionaire*"Spring Break is a great time to leave ‘the bubble’ and enjoy a week and half of free time. For me it was filled with travels around the US and unexpectedly (or maybe expectedly) answering a question: ‘so what do you actually study at Stanford?’. Over the last 10 days I’ve heard it about half […]
Read more "what do you really do at the GSB? (and why…)"THAT time of an MBA1’s life is here. It’s been shyly lurking for the last 2 months and finally came for good. SUMMER RECRUITING. It feels kind of odd…almost as if I was beamed back to 2006 (yes, 8 years ago) and my undergrad summer internship recruiting. First and so far the last one in […]
Read more "perseverance"It is always in the most unexpected moments when an idea pops in to my head: i.e. while i’m shopping… Don’t know if my grandpa used Old Spice (highly unlikely), but then again…u never know. Anyways my shower gel made me laugh…and think (it DOES SOUND STUPID, i know:)) about the GSB and what I […]
Read more "grandpa’s cologne"A year ago around this time I was sitting in my parents’ living room and polishing my GSB application. I hit the ‘submit’ button just before Christmas. Little had I known how much change 2013 was holding for me. Now, a year later, I’m back in the same chair trying to get my head around […]
Read more "thank you 2013"First things first – i apologize for being silent the past couple of weeks. i guess the GSB workload got hold of me…a bit. anyways, today about choices. After 2 months here my hypothesis is that the core purpose of an MBA is to teach the incoming students how to be good or even great […]
Read more "action expresses priorities"…you want to do it well, but if you want it too badly then it will inhibit your performance. ok, i caught your attention with my little claim/teaser and intrigued you with the reveal. now i should add a disclaimer (marketing 101;)): what you’ve read is a quote from Tony Parsons‘ article: ‘Perfecting your speech: […]
Read more "public speaking is like s*x…"…true story:) it’s been quite an interesting week. I think one that some of the MBA1s (me for sure) needed. The week was split between an OB (Org. Behavior) class called Managing Groups & Teams and a ‘gazillion’ meetings ranging from gsb culture through intl study trips to financial aid. Frankly speaking I enjoyed that idea […]
Read more "everything is better if it ends with a dance-off …"…first week of the next 2 years of my life has passed. AND? I’m still trying to figure out what just happened. I guess it is mainly because during the first 7 days spent here i was: a/ amazed by the size and sheer beauty of campus, b/ handling 300 small things from getting a new […]
Read more "chin up. smile big. release the worry and enjoy. for serious."I’m back. THE YACHT WEEK is over. It was my first encounter with the GSB community and it’s been quite an exciting one. First of all – a group of amazing individuals, with a variety of exciting backgrounds. Second of all, I was quite amazed about how well we all got along – and I […]
