I am going to start part-time MBA this fall at Jenkins School of Management which is part of the North Carolina State University. Today was our first full day of orientation which turned out to be very informative and exciting. The day started with breakfast and an introductory session by the Dean of Business School. It was followed by following sessions and then lunch (which was just ok).

• Academics and course sequence
• Logistics
• Q&A session with existing MBA students
• Career resources and coaching available to NCSU MBA students

However the most interesting part of the entire orientation was the team development session by Dr Tony O'Driscoll who is definitely an excellent and entertaining speaker. I'll try to write more about this session later however these were few highlights.

• How to be effective and efficient at the same time
• Paradigm
• P/PC Balance
• Ladder of Inference
• Win-Win Thinking

Overall I am feeling excited to start this new chapter in my life. More about all this later.....
