To ensure that I would feel refreshed before I would start the Oxford EMBA programme, I went on a 3-week holiday to Vietnam. I was fully aware that time will be scarce once I enrolled in the programme so this was the moment to take a break. As expected, time flew and before I knew […]

Module four brought the EMBA-J17 cohort back to Oxford (we were abroad last module) – and for this I am quite thankful. I am continually reminded that I am fortunate to be a part of this cohort and a part of the greater Oxford University family. These two realities stand out at this very moment, […]

As a career educator and not someone who is actively engaged in the business world, per se, I have entered the EMBA Programme with some fear and trepidation.
