🌍 Go global while pursuing your Wisconsin MBA! Travelling internationally to witness global business operations firsthand broadens your business acumen and can be a transformative experience. It's why the Wisconsin Full-Time MBA Program offers optional experiential learning opportunities in cities across the globe. Here are some of the highlights from past global learning experiences: Business Environment in Mexico City: Students explored Mexico's dynamic business environment through a variety of company visits - including a consulting firm, generator manufacturer, and agriculture cooperative- while broadening their perspectives of international business. MBA students Nick Wong (MBA '25) and Connor Mann (MBA '25) shared their takeaways: "Experts shared their experiences consulting on business and law, providing us with a strong foundational understanding of [Mexico]’s economic landscape." Environmental Efforts in Buenos Aires: Visits to a variety of businesses - from tech consulting to energy nonprofits - opened students' eyes to the impact businesses, trade policies, and politics have on the environment, including wind and solar. Katie Caffrey (MBA '24) said of the trip: "A historian explained Argentina’s political landscape and the challenges of a sharply divided electorate with a polarized party system. These insights proved valuable as we explored big questions about Argentina’s path forward on energy." Sustainable Practices in Berlin and Czech Republic: Students gained a global perspective on topics ranging from the automotive industry to international relations during company visits in Prague (Czech Republic), and Leipzig and Berlin (Germany). #GlobalBusiness #MBA

This past year has been filled with many experiences that I haven’t publicly shared but would like to now: 1. Now, as an Associate Director at IESE Business School in Career Development Center, I work with an international and highly professional team. Helping students become more employable in the job market has become a passion of mine. The MiM students are graduating this June, and what I cherish the most are their personal stories and the opportunity to continue supporting them and other young individuals in their career journeys. I’ve discovered how rewarding it is to make an impact in education and how fulfilling it is to assist others and feel useful. 2. I passed the EPSO exams for the European Union as a civil servant, driven by my long-standing passion for international relations and international politics. 3. I feel very fortunate to have been selected for Celera, a program by the Fundación Rafael del Pino, which chooses 10 "leaders" in Spain each year. Joining this incredible group has been a significant achievement for me, and I look forward to making the most of this three-year journey. 4. I started writing my first book, something I had always wanted to do, to share a more personal side of myself. It is currently being edited, and I hope to publish it this year. 5. I’ve traveled extensively, which has allowed me to understand diversity and see different perspectives. I have also intensified my involvement with various associations, businesses, and institutions such as the Fundación Tatiana and the World Economic Forum. Among these new projects is an exciting initiative on AI and employability that I am beginning to explore from different angles. My key learning from this past year is that personal relationships are the most important thing and the true legacy we leave behind, beyond our achievements. I feel incredibly grateful for this past year—the new people I’ve met, the exciting projects I’ve embarked on, and the individuals who have grown with me and supported me. I am inspired to give back the same support and encouragement to others.

What Studying Abroad Taught Me - Part 2 of N 🇫🇷 "That's a fantastic idea except...Google doesn't work in China." ⛔ We were solving a case study in our International Business Strategy class at KEDGE Business School Bordeaux, France while the air smelled of coffee and croissant. 🥐 My esteemed group mates had studied management at the best Business Schools across the world. The best, the brightest, the sharpest, across the globe, put their heads together this sunny morning. 🌍 What we didn't know - country-level idiosyncrasies. 🗾 We formulated a great plan, until our friend from China piped up and challenged our idea of default. 🙋🏿♀️ Not everyone across the globe can access Google. 💻 And so we learnt to ask the right questions in future case studies in our classrooms and offices- 📴"Where would this strategy not work?" 💔"Why could this idea fail?" 🔚"How big are the edge cases?" This is what an international education enables you to do - as does having a more diverse workplace. 🏳️🌈 Has someone said something that challenged a fundamental assumption you were making? Tell me in the comments! #internationaleducation #internationalbusiness #strategy #mba #foreignexchange #exchangestudent

Celebrating the completion of my second week in Paris, I can't help but reflect on the enchanting moments I've experienced in this magical city. HEC Paris , hosting the final semester of my master's program under the CEMS - The Global Alliance in Management Education, stands as one of Europe's and the world's premier business schools. Nestled outside the city, its expansive and exceptional campus welcomes students from all corners of the globe, fostering an incredibly international environment. Being immersed in such diverse surroundings not only enriches our cultural and knowledge base but also expands our vision and breaks down preconceptions. In sharing my insights from this third abroad experience, here are a few takeaways: 1️⃣ Embrace #Discomfort: Stepping out of your comfort zone can be uncomfortable, even painful, and it's crucial to learn not to give up at this point. The real #breakthrough happens precisely when we refuse to succumb to the discomfort that follows leaving our comfort zone. Just like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, a new beginning unfolds. 2️⃣ New Doors Require #New Keys: Stagnation occurs when we dwell on past opportunities and live solely in the dreams of past possibilities. To move forward, it's essential to keep #progressing and looking ahead. Old keys won't unlock new doors. 3️⃣ Live in the #Present: As Epictetus wisely said, "If you’re in Gyaros, don’t let your mind dwell upon life at Rome." Focusing on the present moment is key to embracing new experiences and opportunities. 4️⃣ Expand Your #Network: Vision development goes beyond sightseeing and reading. Understanding various people, their lives, cultures, and thoughts profoundly influences our thinking. Meeting diverse individuals is one of the most impactful ways to shape our worldview. 5️⃣ Be the #Change: The only person one can truly change in life is oneself. To propel ourselves forward, we must actively take steps every day, every second, towards personal growth. As I continue this incredible journey, I am reminded that challenges are opportunities in disguise. Here's to embracing discomfort, unlocking new doors, living in the present, expanding our networks, and being the architects of our own growth. #ParisLife #InternationalEducation #PersonalGrowth #HECParis #CEMSAlliance #NewBeginnings

Yesterday marked the culmination of an extraordinary journey with the graduation of the AMP Fall 2024 at #IESE Business School in Barcelona. This program, held across Madrid, Munich, and Barcelona, provided a rich and diverse learning experience. Over the span of eight months and four intensive weeks, we’ve delved deep into various critical aspects of #leadership and #strategy, and now it’s time to put our #learnings into action. Reflecting on this transformative experience, here are some personal highlights: • Embrace change and challenge conventional thinking. • Focus on identifying and addressing key tasks that drive progress. • Leverage ethics and integrity to shape positive behaviors. • Continually refine your business model to enhance competitive advantages. • Develop a sustainable and coherent strategy that aligns with long-term goals, values, culture, and purpose. • Sales is a desire, profit is an opinion, cash is a reality. • Approach every challenge with unwavering passion and resilience. We also had a lot of fun, during all the sessions, special mention to the negotiation role plays with prof. Antonino Vaccaro, and all the social activities being particularly memorable. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible professors, especially Marc Sachon and Rudolf Repgen, and the entire #IESE faculty for their dedication and wisdom. Congratulations to my fellow participants—it’s been an honor to share this journey with such talented individuals. Looking ahead, I am excited to apply these insights and collaborate with this network of inspiring professionals. Here’s to the impact we will create together and the new milestones we will achieve! #Leadership #PositiveImpact #BusinessStrategy
