More Babson Takeaways

Here are some more bullet-point takeaways from my enlightening time at Babson: · When designing experiences, keep in mind that people love choice, personalization, and rituals · We may think we do a good job of understanding our customers’ viewpoint, but there is often an opportunity...

Leadership - A Military Perspective

0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false A major portion of the Fellowship program is Leadership. This is a subject close to my heart given the emphasis the military (full disclosure: I have come from nearly 13 years as an Officer in the British Army) place on this quality. Indeed, this is arguably...

When it all starts to click together...

It's the end of week 5 and I'm starting to feel a little more organised, my computer is finally in order, calendar synched, course notes typed up and my handouts are all filed (alphabetically by professor of course). This might sound ridiculous to some, but this level of organisation soothes...

Welcome to my first blog..

Howdy folks, well that’s nearly two weeks that a huntly loon has survived in Boston and more importantly Babson. Apologies a first experience at fit they call "blogging" so will try and not ramble. Following on from an eye opening lecture on the power of social media, i never really realised...

8 Weeks of Shaping the Future

Since the day I found out about successfully getting my Barclays Wealth internship in March, I had been looking forward to starting this new and exciting experience. And before I know it, now 5 months ahead, I feel like I have reached a miniature peak in my life - having gone through many challenges...

Challenging weaknesses & 'executing aggressively!' (Military style)

And before I know it, the penultimate week of my internship is about to end. The past week has not only been a reminder of my purpose in New York but also an encouragement to infuse all I can and more into my remaining time left. I look back and think of how far I have come to date but also try to see...

Brandership

One of the great things about staying in Scotland is that I've been able to attend all the fantastic Saltire Foundation events running around the country. Last night some of the Scholars gathered with alumni, fellows and hangers-on for an interesting workshop on personal branding. The event was led...

Planning a path through the forest of digital globalisation

I must admit that when I started this job I had pretty negative connotations of the title 'Research Analyst'. I imagined a downtrodden twenty-something in a corner of a windowless office crunching data, joyless and prospect-less. This wasn't helped by meeting a research analyst friend who...

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Missouri I go!

Warning: in the process of reading this blog, you may feel slight aches and pains in your eyes and bottoms (from sitting) due to the high volume of information being updated. :p it'll be well worth the pain though! :D So I've been wanting to blog for AGEEESSS (wayyy before I left for Missouri...

Leadership Day - 1 week to go!

In preparation for our departure, the 2012 scholars benefitted from the first ever Saltire Foundation Leadership Day which took place today.

Uncomfortable is the new comfortable

It's the start of week 4 and time is flying by. I have met so many people here at IBM since I arrived, my notebook is filling up fast. It has been great to meet leaders who are at different stages of their careers and understand their career paths. I've had the chance to see different styles...

Golf Balls, Pebbles and Sand – how to fit them all in?

We have had a very hectic last 3 weeks in the run-up to Thanksgiving, and during that time we have had three excellent days working on Leadership Presence, Storytelling and uncovering our own life and leadership journeys. One story from the past few days really struck a chord: A lecturer at a university...

Twists, turns and waterproofs

Today I write in an emergent fashion, a recent lecturer suggested that this can often lead to the best ideas. If not, complaints to Babson marketing faculty… The last two weeks have been full of the sort of twists and turns that our Babson experience so consistently delivers. Our trip to New York...
