A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The quote above seems to be quite apt as I write my first Saltire Fellow blogpost. For us 2012 fellows it has been the first week of our Babson experience here in sunny Boston and what a week it has been! From our very first lecture in the very swish...

Back in the Burgh!

Wow. It feels like it was just yesterday when I blogged about our first day at Liberty Mutual. Now, in the blink of an eye our time in the U.S. is over and I am back in the Burgh. It was with bittersweet symphony that we packed our things and made for...
