Deanna’s MALIC story

Currently on my way to the airport, heading for yet another week of excitement in York, in the company of more than 50 MALICs: 40 attending their residency, and about 20 attending their own graduation! Will try to have some photos from the event as well.

Seen how so far I am the most prolific RKC blogger, I’m leaving you with a bit of a testimony from Deanna, a soft-spoken jamaican with a big heart.

Sorry for the rather noisy audio, but a room full of MALICs having fun tends to get noisy! Thanks Deanna for sharing your experience with the rest of us and hope to hear from you and the good things that happen in Jamaica!

Students for students: Marcela’s advice on life-study balance and assessing the workload

In Zürich we also met Marcela, management consultant and happy person extraordinaire – and certainly one of the students keeping the group on its toes throughout the week. Here’s what she had to share with herself if she could go back in time to when she first started:

If you think she’s about to burst into laughter, you’re not far from the truth – she is officially the record holder for the number of takes and the one who sparkled the idea of a bloopers video as well … *hint*hint*

Students for students: Thirunda’s advice on “buying time”

Officially the person with the longest name on the residency, Thirunda comes from Sri Lanka and had the following to share with himself if he was able to travel back in time to the start of his studies:

Thirunda also has some crazy video editing skills, and we’re hoping to be able to show you that pretty soon. Stay tuned!

Students4Students@RKC – advice from students for students

Last month I had the honour of meeting thirty three amazing individuals, who came to Zürich alone and left as a group.

The MALIC residency brought together people from 15 different countries and all walks of life, from bankers and SAP managers, to management consultants and entrepreneurs.

Some of them were kind (and brave!) enough to step up in front of an intimidating lens and share some of their personal experience with fellow students, whether they are at the beginning of their journey in the programme, or already approaching the end.

This will be a series of videos from the Zürich residency, hoping we will turn this into a regular event.

So, without further delay, I give you today’s first speaker, Martin!
