#8: Global Leadership was awesome!
Before business school, I’d been to fewer than five countries, and knew next to nothing about how international business was transacted, other than what I’d read or experienced through the eyes of others. Not so now: I went to 9 countries in 2 my two years at Freeman! This […]

Happy New Year from the Tulanemba.org blog. I’ve taken some (well deserved) time off: the first semester was fun but very busy. Over 15,000 air miles flown in four states and two countries, 16 course credits (in addition to the class I ‘audited’ heh heh), and about 20 hours per week spent […]

Internet wasn’t as plentiful in Europe as I’d hoped. Here’s some more vids that didn’t make it into the other updates:

I received the below email a few days ago from an anonymous emailer (wink wink nudge). It’s important to get as many opinions as possible out there so people are able to make informed decisions. I can’t say I disagree with the poster, but let me tell you the gastronomy in England leaves […]

Still in England - damn expensive and rainy - a subway [aka tube] ride is $8! But I was able to talk my way into a gym today so I’m feeling refreshed.
These are some items I figured would be of interest to you:

Done! The semester’s over, I’m officially on break! The last day of class was interesting: as an American, it’s sometimes hard to put yourself in the shoes of someone from a different country and culture – one whose form of government and social system differ greatly from ours and reward hard work in […]

We drove 2 hours north yesterday to visit the A NOVO facility, take a tour, meet with the CEO and present our findings. I took a bunch of video from the tour. The interesting thing was, as much as we were told on day 1 that the French liked to replace humans with […]

Susan George spoke to us this morning on Alterglobalization. She’s from Smith College…went abroad and learned in the same classroom we’re sitting in! This was a pretty heated discussion. Telling rich/soon to be rich kids from the US to give their money away to help people less fortunate was not a well […]

First day in class was good - it was great up until about 1pm and then jet lag killed me for the rest of the afternoon. Our longest day is tomorrow (7am-7pm) but I should be more acclimated to the time change by then.
In the interim, check out some video I shot last night…there’s […]

The first class has started. Some notes about France. I’ll be updating this post as the class goes on:
the national symbol is a lady named Marianne. The Rooster is another key symbol.
74mm people visit France each year.
Prof Dumond talking about a McKinsey study: Whenever possible, the French replace human jobs with […]
