MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics’ Post

Super excited to share that I have been accepted for the Executive MBA program through Quantic School of Business and Technology, Class of April 2025, and was fortunate to be awarded the Women in Leadership Scholarship. I chose Quantic for a few reasons: 1. It's an innovative way to learn - almost gamified - that speaks to my learning style. 2. They allow (and require!) trial courses prior to committing - that way you can get a feel for the program and determine if that way of learning is right for you. 3. It's not traditional classroom learning, and allows me to continue on with my busy work schedule and learn at my own pace. 4. The program is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), listed by the US Department of Education as a recognized accrediting agency. 5. It's suuuuuper affordable, especially with my scholarship. I'm so excited to join my classmates and bring my knowledge to my coworkers, clients, and candidates! #EMBA #QuanticSchoolofBusinessandTechnology #classof2025 #womeninleadership

I didn't share anything yesterday for IWD, but this post is befitting so I will attach my thoughts to this thread. I wish we were able to showcase our intrinsic growth as much as our external image. My biblical worldview underpins my belief that we have been created in God's image and in His likeness (Genesis 1:26). For me, this means we are born fully endowed with the potential to be world changers and then the process of growth and development assists us to become who we were to begin with. I was one of the privileged ones to receive a 50% scholarship from Ducere Global Business School and completed a Global MBA through Rome Business School (a #Ducere partner) at the end of 2023. During my year of study, my mindset shifted, my self-esteem and professional grew in leaps and bounds, so much so that I was able to attract more consulting work for my business Impact Africa Strategies and price my fees in relation to my improved quality of work. As a small business owner, I hadn't been able to build financial reserves until the end of last year. These reserves allowed me to increase my monthly salary, which has had material impact on my family's quality of life. Completing Master's programme has also given me the acumen and confidence to consider global business collaborations and investments as well as pursue multi-stakeholder engagements to tackle various challenges we face on the #African continent. I also have the honour to share my new knowledge and skills with others, as a part-time #faculty member with Regent Business School. My #talentmanagement, #recruitment and #professionaldevelopment clients have also benefited tremendously from the evolved and improved version of me. I have tried to capture the holistic impact of furthering one's education in a high quality conducive learning environment. It's been a game changer and I would encourage anybody who is willing and able to make this investment towards better prospects and a better life. If you would like to reach out and ask me more questions, you are more than welcome to send me a direct message or email me at robynn@impact-africa.org.za to set up a virtual or in-person conversation. #education #highereducation #leadership #growth #professionaldevelopment #lifelonglearning #business #moderneconomy #globalbusiness #africanexcellence #womeninleadership #internationalwomensday #womenempowerment #impactafrica #bettermanagers #bettertogether #bettertogether #betterworld #lead #guide #ducere

They will need to go beyond imparting academic knowledge and prioritise fostering innovation, diversity, employability, and addressing broader societal needs. Effective leaders will be those who can navigate this complex landscape by giving equal importance to academic rigour and practical relevance, promoting research and community engagement, and envisioning education as a driving force for personal growth and societal progress.

Our students today approach their education with much more awareness of what they want, what they care about. They want to be purposeful leaders,” says Federico Frattini, Dean of POLIMI Graduate School of Management. In our regular The Times Of India column, BlueSky Thinking looks at how #purpose has come to define the ethos and commitment to positively impacting the world. Business school students are increasingly deciding to study at institutions such as #Polimi that not only embody the notion of purpose within their own school community but also choose those that teach the necessary skills to become purpose-driven leaders. But how do business schools actually teach their students to become ‘purposeful leaders’, and why is this important for the future? Polimi is the first leading European business school to be awarded B-Corp certification, and in partnership with BCG BrightHouse, an independent business division of the global consulting giant, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), they are about to host Purpose Days. This 2-day event in #Milan welcomes #CEOs including Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo and one of the most authoritative voices on the issue, as well as professors such as Colin Mayer from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford and author of "Prosperity", Ranjay Gulati, professor at Harvard Business School and author of "Deep Purpose", Alex Edmans professor at the London Business School and author of "Grow the Pie", and experts that include Darren Rudkin, coach and co-founder of The Mind At Work. Federico Frattini shares his perspectives with BlueSky Thinking on the challenge, and also the necessity to implement purpose as a core theme within the business school framework. “Business schools have a responsibility to give students the tools to choose to pursue something more than success and profit, and the skills to find their own path.” #MBA #Masters #gme #BCorp #highereducation #careers You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dmSGnvn9

TURN IT UP TUESDAYS: The ‘Sexy Six’ Styles of Self-Leadership   It was a pleasure to be invited by the brilliant Melissa Jogie and Sanchia Alasia Assoc CIPD FCMI FRSA as a guest speaker on the Advance Higher Education Diversifying Leadership Programme. I appreciated the ‘safe’ and ‘supportive’ space provided to discuss what I call (well, why not), my ‘Sexy-Six’ Styles of Self-Leadership; which, also neatly align with the Programme’s themes: 🔺Power and influence 🔺Demystifying leadership 🔺Cultural identity and cultural capital The ‘Sexy Six’ reflect not only the leadership challenges that I have faced during my (20+ year) time in the Academy but also the growth, development, and transformation that I’ve experienced and continue to experience which, over time, has made me confident about the value I bring to the Higher Education Sector…even with one foot in and one foot out of the University. Sure, I am still learning, but I believe, when lessons are learned, things can only get ‘sexier.’ The Advance HE is aimed at tackling under-representation of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic leaders in UK higher education institutions. It is no secret that there is a clear under-representation of leaders from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds in higher education (HE) institutions in the UK at all levels, and particularly at senior levels.   I am grateful to Melissa and Sanchia for the warm welcome and the high level of trust in me to deliver.   I know I certainly would have welcomed this level of support when I first started out in academia, so it is great to see such an initiative in action… And, with Melissa and Sanchia leading the way in delivering it successfully, one can trust that they are in good hands. #leadership #highered #inclusiveculture #universities #diversityequityinclusion
