Learning together builds relationships and especially in executive education, the network you‘re building is part of your educational experience. I can only confirm that learning from each other is just as important as the classes you attend – the mix of generations, industries and experiences is always enriching. Not only are other careers greatly inspiring, but also the people you‘ll meet! You will broaden your network and are likely to make long lasting friendships, too.
