1. Three Years On – Reflections of an EMC Alumnus in a Changed World

    It was a joyous day back in October 2019 when all my EMC Wave 25 colleagues and I gathered once again in Fontainebleau for our graduation ceremony. When looking into everyone’s eyes, I can think of only one word to describe what I saw – GROWTH.   For some this growth was deeply personal, enabling transformations of an individual kind that were liberating and empowering in the most meaningful of ways. For others this growth was more professional in orientation, inspiring work-related breakthroughs leading to business success.

    After nine years of professional experiences across journalism, the government sector and charity, I felt ready for the next level of accelerating my career to create a bigger impact.

    At INSEAD dreams do come true as we remain relentless in the pursuit of what sets our hearts on fire.

Kicking off the year as one of only three Filipinos, I’m so excited to learn with 60 different nationalities and make real connections with 484 amazing humans.

  7. A Glimpse into the Start of My MBA Learning Experience

    We all know that over the years globalisation has resulted in connecting people all around the globe and bringing the world at the tip of the finger with the help of advanced technology, the internet as well as speedy access to information sharing and communicating. However, during the midst of the recent pandemic, the virtuality of globalisation has been more useful than ever to explore, learn and master these skills faster. During my first MBA module I had the opportunity to witness one of the best demonstrations of this phenomenon. 

  10. Why I Chose To Do MIM at INSEAD

    As I was entering the final year of university, I thought I had a good idea of what I wanted going forward. Though my plans were not set in stone, I knew that I wanted to graduate, work for a few years and then maybe pursue a master’s degree.  Then the pandemic hit. As I saw more and more of my classmates struggling to find entry-level jobs, doubts began creeping in my mind. What had been a robust job market, at least in Canada, was not looking so good anymore.
