      Coming to Harvard Business School was a forcing function to re-think my career path. One thing was for sure, I was committed to not return to consulting post-HBS. Therefore, it was a surprise to my friends, and most of all me, when I decided to join McKinsey’s London office this fall.
      Somewhat ironically, my decision to go back into consulting resulted from the incredible experiences I had [...]

      If you asked me two months ago whether I learned anything during my first year at Harvard Business School, my response would have been a resounding “Yes!” But, if you followed up by asking me for an example of how I applied the lessons I learned into practice, my response would have been a hesitant “Umm…”
      The FIELD (Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development) curriculum [...]

      I’ve spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday reflecting on my first year at HBS. In that process, I wrote an email to a few close friends updating them on my time here. As I started to write this post, I realized that the content of that email fit exactly what I wanted to communicate. So, here it is:
      I started HBS a little over 9 months ago with no clear idea what I wanted the outcome to be in [...]

      In the blink of an eye the tree leaves have turned from green to vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow and finally to various hues of brown as the wind blows through and sweeps them away. Just like that, three months have gone by since HBS started. In the first month, I was wondering what I would do with my free time. By the second month, I found myself wondering where my free time [...]

      Being Uncomfortable at HBS

      Minh Chau
      • 13 May 2013
      Strategy consultant. HuffPost blogger. Passionate foodie. Avid trekker. Tech enthusiast. I was a whole host of things prior to Harvard Business School - and I still am. Although part of me likes having a routine to maintain a healthy dose of sanity, another part is always on the lookout for novelty. If curiosity killed the cat. Then, lucky I am not a cat. Therefore, it isn’t a surprise that I [...]
