Last week I got to attend the University of Chicago BOOTH School of Business Management Conference, which was amazing. The keynote presenter during the luncheon was none other than Mr. Rahm Emanuel, who I almost got to meet after I rushed the podium following his on stage interview. Damn body guards!
After the luncheon conference attendees were invited to various class sessions, like Emerging Markets and Enterpreneurship. I chose to sit in on the Women and Leadership and Business and Creativity class sessions and oh boy was my mind blow.
FIRST I got to meet practically my life role model, Rachel Kohler, who runs a division of the family owned company that carries her name, Kohler. Turns out she is a BOOTH alum; who knew?!
Being in a classroom full of women in business talking about women in business made me really happy. I left feeling totally inspired.
THEN I got to witness a live choreography turned ballet performance right in front of my eyeballs! This "visiting artist" at BOOTH was a professional ballet dancer and is now investigating the intersection of the artistic process and business creativity with one of the University's top thinkers on business strategy. Whoa.
I graduate from BOOTH's Chicago Management Institute at the end of June and am excited to begin applying the concepts learned to Dordan's business strategy.
And here is a picture of me shooting skeet in KOHLER, which is to be confused with Rachel Kohler and Kohler Company, enjoy!
