Learning that changes how you lead


Through practical projects, teamwork and careers support, Naetima developed a clearer understanding of what mattered to her and the kind of leader she wanted to become. She now draws on that experience in her work in Singapore.

“When I started the MBA, I wanted practical leadership skills. Looking back, I gained something much more valuable. I learned to think differently about people, about teamwork and about myself.

That changed the way I lead. It gave me the confidence to navigate one of the toughest job markets I’ve experienced and, more importantly, prepared me for whatever comes next.”
