I had to get to Monterey, CA by the evening of Friday May 1st. To accomplish this I took a 7:40am flight out of Dublin that connected through London and Los Angeles. Having to wake up at 5am, after going to bed around 2am following the Brookwood Dublin dinner, was quite the challenge!
On the flight home I had the opportunity to really contemplate and take in the program I had just been through, the people I had met and the relationships I had made.
My impressions and takeaways from the Dublin trip:

My impressions and takeaways from the Dublin trip:
- Ireland is a beautiful country - despite the ever changing weather, which is beautiful in its own way.
- The people are friendly and welcoming.
- The food (and beer) is great! I've never eaten more potato in one week before!
- Live music in the pubs 7 days a week is amazing!
- The country is booming - with the highest GDP growth in the EU - making it an exciting place to be.
- All the multinational corporations are there for the same reasons: Euro, English, Europe, Tax Breaks, Clusters, Talent, Technology.
- Ireland is the place to be to develop truly global managerial skills.
For all those reasons and more is why I'll be looking for jobs in Dublin post MBA!
On the ground in Los Angeles...
... though several hours delayed leaving London!
I ended up missing my Monterrey flight, and since there are only a couple flights a day to Monterrey, I had to take a flight the next day.
Special thanks to everyone who helped put this program on and to those who were there (below), as they were the people who made this a truly special experience!
