i'm here at what we call the glc which is the bank's training grounds, doing a leadership programme. we're here the whole week, sunday to friday and you stay over at the on site hotel. it's super intense though, and we're only on day 2 and my brain is so tired. but i have learnt a few things about myself that i need to re-calibrate.
one. i am not ready to hit the books for an mba or pdm anytime soon. i am really study unfit.
two. i can contribute meaningfully to a classroom discussion around themes like strategy. so i've learnt a lot in my short tenure in the bank. but i have far to go :)
three. i have no self disclipline when it comes to the unbelievable food here. wow. french toast for breakfast everyday is heaven for me.
four. i feel an intense guilt being here, especially given the recent retrenchments.
five. i am not that bad at meeting new people and holding my own in what can sometimes be awkward conversations with work people {a situation i usually avoid like the plague}
six. strategy and finance are really fascinating and i'm loving the content. but i still believe i am being called to something outside of banking. and there have been so many confirmations of this {including a case study on grameen bank in our session yesterday -- what a cool surprise!}
anyway. i'm going to crash now. been a long day and have a hectic {but hopefully interesting} day ahead tomorrow.
that's all
