Success Tips by Olayinka

Hello guys, my name is Olayinka and I’d like to welcome you to the MBA program. One thing I’ll promise you up front is that you are in for the ride of a lifetime.
I’d like to share some of my thoughts on the MBA program with you.

Me Chilling

1.The MBA is much more than getting an additional degree; it’s a character and capacity building exercise. My advice; get set to be stretched...you won’t snap!

2.Beyond the binders, deadlines, assignments and projects, I believe the relationships, bonds and experiences forged from going through the various challenges with colleagues are invaluable.

3.The LBS MBA is not the typical learning process you are most likely use to, so don’t be afraid to
a.express your views
b.be critical
c.challenge the facilitators if you don’t agree with them (respectfully)
Most of the learning comes from the discussions.

4.The facilitators genuinely want you to learn. My advice; don’t take anything personal.

5.Getting that dream job that made you decide to get an MBA is entirely in your hands. LBS didn’t promise you employment, LBS seeks to give you that edge and opportunities that will distinguish you among contemporaries. Imbibing that edge and making good use of the opportunities is entirely up to you. You will do well to always remember this.

6.Lastly, I believe you will have an amazing time.

Welcome on board.
