The Hanken EMBA gave a chance to turn the career into another direction

"I would definitely recommend the Executive MBA. It will force you to reflect and think, about what sort of a career am I building for the future?"

Imagine that you are at the crossroads, giving yourself permission to turn around or turn in a different direction, than just the one that you've been traveling for the past years. The Executive MBA gives you a chance to turn your career in another direction. 

I work a lot with technology, but I don't have to work that much with finance. In the programme, we were given a book called The Foundations of Finance. Finance is the thing I knew the least about, but it's also the thing that will give me the most if I can internalize these findings. So, I got the book, and I read it twice. 
There were also some topics I was already familiar with, but it was refreshing to work in the group - to understand other aspects of the topics. 

I liked the diversity of the group, that we had people with different backgrounds and people with different experiences. It was refreshing to talk with somebody about their experience in a totally different industry, which I knew very little about. I like to think that I got more empathy for working with other people.

"I was considering doing additional studies for 10 years. I figured that the Executive MBA would be the degree and education for the rest of my life. "

This degree for life was sort of the goal I began the whole journey with. You have to enjoy the journey. It's fun, don't stress too much. There are a lot of things you have to do, but begin with small steps - and it happens almost by magic.
