Entrepreneurial-Spark Launch

It has taken some planning and we have launched. Two weeks ago now and we are having a tremendous response. Our approach to entrepreneurship is simple and very much reflects Ian's comments: Let's get on with it. So, we have removed as many barriers...

Joining the dots… Globally…

It is sadly nearing the end of the fellowship journey. Needless to say it has been a complete life changing experience. My key achievements so far: · Linking and vocalising what I have learned, experienced or spoken about in a way that is advantageous...

Raison d'être vs. personal creativity, and then there is balancing both!

It happened again today… some would refer to it as ‘day dreaming’ as my p1 teacher put it, and some would refer to it as ‘you’re on another planet’! However I like to refer to it as being in ‘the realm of creativity...

A new dawn full of Energy

Progressing into the new phase of the fellowship was always with a bit of excitement and trepidation, perhaps in equal measure. The Babson experience was a great learning experience, changing attitudes and mindset on every turn. However, moving on to...

Serendipity

I never thought I’d say this… but I think I’m falling for insurance. I remember the day I first came across insurance. It was a cold Monday morning when I arrived the doorsteps of Liberty Mutual. I was slightly jetlagged and I needed...

Networking on campus

Our one week holiday has flown by so quickly. Hopefully we are all fully re-charged to embrace the second half of our academic term here at Babson. During the week long break, I took the opportunity to attend some of the peer-to-peer events on campus...

Our Playground!

What an eye opener, what an experience so far. It seems like being a fly stuck on the outside of a fast moving bullet train! ‘Intense’ all of a sudden has lost its meaning and needs to be redefined. This is how the first 3 weeks can be summed...

First 20 days - WANDER & WONDER

The first 20 days have been truly amazing, and we have done so much that it feels like over a month we have been here. As last year's fellows will know the intensity of the programme is quite daunting at times, but the style of teaching and learning...

What a week

To quote Mark, also 2010 Fellow – WOW! What a week it has been so far. Being at Babson, meeting the professors and spending intense time with the other Fellows has already baked my noodle. The immense opportunity that this programme offers is stretching...

A life Changing Decision!

Many of the Fellows and my friends have talked about their experience throughout the past year or so! I think they have all taken the words out of my mouth, or my blog!! Prior to starting the Saltire Fellowship I was successful in the Hotel and Real Estate...

Being socially responsible and credible at the same time

Hi all, Whilst at Babson, I had the pleasure with some of the other fellows to go and hear Jeff Swartz, CEO of Timberland group, speak to us about his and his organisations passion to be socially responsible. He told a story of people's skepticism...
