Today is the first day of my MBA class, Management Dynamics. I'm officially back to school. The professor is already a master of her own turf. The professor started by first introducing herself, then followed by each one of us introducing himself/herself. Majority of my classmates are already managers in their respective corporate world; some are even managers of their very own firms. Some are foreigners -- Korean, Chinese, Indian. You see, taking MBA will not just enhance your managerial and entrepreneurial skills but will also help you expand your network. With different backgrounds from various industries, I'm banking to learn from their experiences, too. Diversity in the class will matter.

The professor then split the class into six groups (each group is composed of 3-4 persons). A task was given to each newly formed group. The task was based on the reading done prior to the first day of class. Enough time was provided to do brainstorming. A group presentation came next. After each and every group presentation, further discussions and realizations dominated the scene. It was indeed a lively and very exciting discussion with almost everyone participating. It was only Day 1, and yet I felt that I learned a lot already. I'm looking forward for another meaningful sessions in the coming weeks.

A fast-paced MBA program like this requires lots of reading, presenting, and interacting. Indeed, a great way to learn and further develop myself personally and professionally.
