When life is pulling us in many different directions, it’s easy to get distracted by the many things on our to-do list.

As I embarked on my MBA journey, I found myself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions: stress, doubt, fear, and uncertainty.

As I reflect on our journey, we recognize that our hearts for humanity transformed a mere academic pursuit into a powerful force for positive transformation.

Between school, work, and personal obligations, staying focused and positive in an executive MBA program is a challenge, but it’s not impossible if you have the right mindset.
