I’ve been a bit lazy keeping up with the blog the last several weeks with vacation and work taking up much of my time and energy. I wanted to break the seal and share some good news:
I’ve been accepted into the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business Executive MBA program.
I chose Smith for a couple of specific reasons. One is that I didn’t want to go to school full-time or move, and Maryland has the best MBA programs in the Washington area. I chose specifically the Executive MBA because it’s more structured than a part-time program and includes an executive coaching component. The latter is a very important element of executive education, because the best and most inspiring leaders that I’ve observed are very self-aware and conscious of the emotions and talents of those around them.
The program will start in November, and I’m extremely excited to get started. Classes will be held all day Friday and Saturday every other week. Throw in reading, homework and project work and I’m well aware I’ll have no social life for the 18 months of the program.
