Ongoing training is essential when it comes to professional development鈥攚hether it鈥檚 provided in the workplace or at an academic institution like the 海角社区 Executive Institute. For 闯辞诲测听惭颈迟颈肠丑别, Service Delivery Director at telecommunications company Ericsson, professional development is essential when it comes to advancing her career and taking on new challenges at work.

鈥淚 was actually debating whether or not I wanted to enter a full MBA program at 海角社区,鈥� says Jody. 聽鈥淪o I opted for the Mini-MBA because my workload was pretty high and my personal life is really busy. I don鈥檛 have much time, I thought, so let me see what it鈥檚 all about and try this Mini-MBA program.鈥�

Jody chose 海角社区 for its training programs designed for executives, as well as its worldwide reputation when it comes to professors and other program participants. Since Jody hadn鈥檛 studied at 海角社区 before, she felt the opportunity to develop a new network was a huge advantage.

鈥淚 met three outstanding, very ambitious women in the Mini-MBA program,鈥� says Jody. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a pleasure to continue to meet with them and talk about our careers, opportunities and life, and share career advice.鈥�

What does Jody consider the biggest benefit of her experience in the program? Business acumen. 鈥淚 was able to look at my own company financials and participate more in those types of high-level discussions,鈥� says Jody. 鈥淚 was able to sit at the table and understand what the numbers mean, what the strategy means, what our vision is and what our mission statement is. All of these things tie back to the course. It gave me the tools I need to contribute even more towards the success of Ericsson.鈥�

鈥淚 really I enjoyed these courses and I can鈥檛 wait to get back to the next executive-level classroom,鈥� she continues. 鈥淭he professors are outstanding. I was sad because the program was over, but I felt empowered to go back and work with Ericsson and apply all the knowledge I鈥檇 learned from these courses to my work, and that鈥檚 the first thing I started doing. The program gave me that little nudge that I needed to get to the next level. Plus I saw an opportunity and I applied a lot of the knowledge I learned from these courses to get the visibility I needed internally, which is how I became Director of Service Delivery.鈥�

Jody is so satisfied with her professional development at the 海角社区 Executive Institute that she can鈥檛 wait to do it all again. 鈥淚鈥檓 so glad that I got back into professional training, because I realized that these types of executive courses really offer so much,鈥� she says. 鈥淎fter this first program, I realized that I now need to take more courses to continue advancing my career. I can鈥檛 wait to get back, and I鈥檓 looking at the courses now to see what else I can take in 2018. I recommend these Mini-MBA courses without hesitation. From a professional and personal development standpoint, it鈥檚 such great groups of people that come together in and you learn a lot not only from professors, but also the people and professionals around you.鈥�
