A deep, personal approach to growth and development–it’s why I’m here. Nowhere has this IMD quality been more apparent than in our Leadership stream. Since day 1, professor Jack Wood has led us down a path of self and group analysis, inward reflection, and study of leadership. Although this course is exactly as described inContinue reading “Leadership”

Entrepreneurship
Most of my posts so far have been about extracurricular life. Perhaps this is because I spend so much of my time thinking about school so it is tempting to write about other subjects during my free time. This post, however, is devoted to one of our courses: entrepreneurship. Our professor is Benoît Leleux, aContinue reading “Entrepreneurship”
Life in Lausanne

Following is a brief survey of some aspects of this city that I have noticed. The people are, generally, very nice. If IContinue reading “Life in Lausanne”

Our firstContinue reading “First day of class”

I have a Swiss bank account!
Unfortunately it doesn’t have any money in it yet and, when it does, it will all be allocated to tuition and living expenses, not to hidden savings. Still, it feels cool to have a Swiss bank account! Along with the bank account I now have a Swiss visa and a place to live. My apartmentContinue reading “I have a Swiss bank account!”
