Back teaching International Business this summer. First stop is New York City where students learn to trade equities on Wall Street. It’s always invigorating to get to work with students so passionate about their learning. Next stop: Munich, Germany!

Outstanding real estate presentations this week from business students in Munich. it’s remarkable what students can accomplish in a short time with support, motivation, inspiration and high expectations. Our next stop is the Swiss Alps where the focus turns to leadership.

Spent the week co-teaching and supporting students to reach new heights in the Swiss Alps in their study of business leadership. Exceptionally rewarding week of adventure, learning and team building.

Working with students on developing marketing & branding strategies in Milan this week. Great way to wrap our summer business program. We also took some time to relax at Lake Como. It has been amazing to see the quality of work the students have produced throughout the course.
