Why Hult? After 13 years working for the Home
Office, I was looking for a business school that
could help me gain leadership skills and go further. I
felt pigeonholed in the civil service and non-profit
sectors and needed exposure to the wider business
landscape. Hult seemed like the right place to do all
of this, and I was right.
Biggest lesson learned? Hult has made me more
assertive and confident of what my strengths are.
I’ve learned to embrace what I am good at, rather
than focusing on what I’m not. I’ve also learned by
studying in such a diverse cohort that I don’t need
to be good at everything. When working as a team,
every individual brings different strengths to the
table.
What’s it like in the Hult classroom? Hult
professors deliver interactive lectures. They all have
something to offer due to their years of experience
working in a variety of industries. Classes include
practical activities that allow us to identify and
analyze our own reactions to situations we may
have assumed we would have reacted differently to.
These also give us invaluable experience
interacting with and getting feedback from clients.

How has the program helped you to achieve your
aims? It has broadened my horizons and given me
real-life experience of working alongside people
from other cultures, industries, and programs who all
bring different perspectives and ideas. The Career
Development team gave me the opportunity to
connect with and speak to alumni who are based in
other countries and industries. They provided
insights into the challenges they experienced when
first entering the business world and shared tips on
how to overcome them.
