INSEAD was the only school I applied to because of its diversity, its global outlook, and its focus on women in business.

Motherhood and INSEAD: How to Manage It All?
The picture you see above is of my son and me. Aren't we adorable together ? Last week we had an official welcome reception by INSEAD Dean Ilian Mihov. All this is indeed real. The Dean said a few words that have stuck with me:
"INSEAD is your present and you are the future. The year ahead will be the best year of your life."
Inspired and empowered, I sit at my study desk reflecting on how I made it to INSEAD. Thinking about things that made it possible for me to call myself “I am IN-SEAD”.
INSEAD Experience: 4-for-1
When I visited INSEAD for the first time almost four years ago, I was pregnant with my daughter, Jeanne. Augustin, my son, lived the MBA Application from inside since I was pregnant with him during the GMAT, the application essays and my first alumni interview. He was born the day before my second interview (which was rescheduled with an excuse they'd never heard before!). My kids’ lives have been entangled with INSEAD from the start.

Welcome to a Crazy Crazy Year, 16Ds!

We’ve bid teary farewells to one class and now it’s time to say hello to the Class of 2016D – so hello 16Ds! It’s your turn inside the bubble… welcome to INSEAD!
Here’s what I’ve learnt from P1-P2…
Keep reminding yourself of why you’re here
