Bindu Joseph Executive MBA Class of 2014 â€Å"Hult’s Lifelong Learning option is a great opportunity for Hult alumni to keep upskilling. This summer, I decided to take Scenario Planning taught by Professor Olaf Groth. I was looking for an elective that revolved around strategy  and this fitted the description. ‘WOW’ is probably the simplest way that I could explain my experience. Professor Groth was so involved and passionate about the subject matter that it was hard not to be inspired. Of all the courses taken to date at Hult, this would be in my top three.† Hult’s Lifelong Learning option is a great opportunity for alumni to keep upskilling.  Ã¢â‚¬ËœWOW’ is probably the simplest way that I could explain my experience. Husam Hijjawi Masters in International Business Class of 2015 â€Å"I’d like to thank Hult for this great opportunity to stay up-to-date and meet great people, continuously emphasizing that learning is a lifelong journey that doesn’t simply end at graduation. After doing my Masters in International Business in Boston and working in sales for a year and a half in Palestine, I decided to take the Brand Strategic Management course at the Shanghai campus. I wanted to thoroughly understand the process of building and maintaining a brand and keeping consumers engaged. I had a memorable experience and also discovered a great city. I would recommend these electives to every alum.† Ricardo Sarmiento MBA Class of 2014 â€Å"I graduated from a full-time MBA on the Dubai Campus in 2014, and Ive taken two electives so far. One was Data Analytics for Managerial Decision-Making, where we learned how to use a powerful tool like Tableau for data visualization. The other was Solutions Marketing: a new way of doing marketing for a digital world. Digital is a very complex vertical that will continue to grow and evolve. Lifelong Learning has given me the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and tools in the market and be one step ahead of the curve.† Shelly Heaven Executive MBA Class of 2015 â€Å"I chose Return Driven Strategy, because it was a highly recommended course. I also saw it as a course that would be immediately applicable and highly beneficial in my current business. It was my first time visiting the New York campus and my first course since finishing my EMBA. The best part was being able to experience all that Hult had to offer without the pressure of assignments and graded work. It felt like a reward truly deserved after two years of hard work to complete the Executive MBA.† The best part was being able to experience all that Hult had to offer without the pressure of assignments and graded work.† Cesar Eduardo Rubio Bachelor of Business Administration Class of 2014 â€Å"I was looking forward to taking an alumni elective course. I think it’s a great opportunity to keep learning, get to know the atmosphere on the different campuses, and do networking. I took International Negotiations, since it was a course I didnt previously take and seemed to be an important tool for my career. The class was amazing. The professor one of the best I ever had, and the group was as internationally diverse as my previous Hult experiences.†    Learn more about available electives and how to register here.   Step up your game with executive education at Ashridge agile business school.

I learned a lot about myself and how I deal with being out of my comfort zone. I learned both soft and hard skills, from how to work in very diverse teams to key accounting metrics and strategy. I was surprised by how weak I was at certain tasks in English or how strong I actually was in other areas. Hult gave me opportunities to try new things and meet people from places I never thought I would have friends. . My internship experiences gave me the chance to broaden my view of different cultures and different companies. I had the opportunity to work and live with people whose values differed from people in my home country. I thought that this would be difficult, but it gave me the chance to reflect on my own values and assess if they were a result of my home country environment or if they were intrinsically mine. .

It taught me a lot about how I see people, how people see me, and how conflict can be resolved in a kind and productive way. The best feedback you get, when delivered constructively, is the most critical because it really feeds into how you lead. I’ve completely reversed my leadership style—the result is so much richer and more powerful when you lead from behind and lead with strength. . Studying in tandem with working, whilst challenging, gave me the perfect platform to directly apply learning concepts into my business environment, the competitive landscape, and the real-estate industry as a whole. When I started the program, I was very happy in my corporate role. But my courage and aspirations grew to the point that I took on a whole new direction. Having my career coach, Joanna, as a sounding board allowed me to really be strategic and get to know myself. She coached me thro ugh all the interviews, the research, and the questions. It went in parallel with what I was doing academically and after six months everything just clicked. . I went into the EMBA knowing I had nothing to lose and I’ve come out with everything. Great strength, global friends, amazing learning, mentors from professors, a job I love, and the knowledge that I can set my mind to achieve anything and with the right support and resources I’ll get there.† .

I knew that I’d have likely stayed in my neighborhood for years to come if I didn’t take this opportunity. I’d not lived or studied outside of the U.S. before. So I left my job as a global strategist at an advertising agency and moved halfway around the world. I’ve come back a more culturally aware, well-versed person. I’ve realized that everything is a learning experience and an opportunity for growth. Ill definitely carry this mindset with me into the future. Technology and social media allow us to be different people in several places at once. Im excited to see how I can establish myself in whatever city Ill be lucky enough to call home and still maintain deep connections with people all over the world. I’m inspired by my classmates every day. Hearing some of their life stories and how getting this degree fits into their greater mission has been very humbling. My biggest challenge has been finding the ‘right’ path for me. There have been rooms Ive felt like I shouldnt be in, but now Im proud to feel as though I truly belong, wherever I am.† .
