»May 6, 2009: Spring is in the Air
So it s now the beginning of May and it officially feels like spring here in Asolo. The birds are chirping, the rain is less constant and life is changing here at CIMBA.

We have all found little apartments in our little town of Asolo and will spend the next month there before... ... (MORE)

by: Leigh WoodruffJenn said I could borrow her phone, Paolo searched the train schedule for me, and I went to get ready. Then Jenn, Claire, Jay, and Javi took me to Montebelluna on their way to the grocery store. I was traveling alone, something I always prefer not to do, but whatever. Once I got to Padova, I called Bernardo to tell him I was getting on the next train and would be there soon. ... ... (MORE)

»March 13, 2009: Spring Is In The Air

I ve been working as a coach at the undergrad campus which, though it s a great experience, doesn t exactly help with our already packed schedule. In addition to that, we have something called classes that we need to prepar... ... (MORE)

Skiing at San Maritino Adam arranged the whole thing for us. The night before all of CIMBA MBAs went out for drinks and a nice meal in Treviso. It would be our last time to see on another all together until after Christmas. We didn t get back to CIMBA until after 2am. Adam, Josh, Jenn and I all went to San Marino. Jay had hurt his back a few days before, so he was out. And Lisa really wanted ... ... (MORE)

»January 14, 2009: The Consulting Oportunity
From Paolo Cattapan:Have you ever had the opportunity to develop a project from the beginning to the end? This is consulting, for me. You start with a white page about a specific need of the client, and through a process, you arrive at the output, the solution.It’s particularly interesting because it’s the right occasion to apply the method that we are learning here at CIMBA, especi... ...

What makes a person a leader? We have been focusing on the matter since the first day we started CIMBA. There are plenty of definitions, more or less connected to each other. We have different types of leaders and we are free to choose to identify ourselves with the ones that we better like, but how can we identify a leader no matter what type they are?We could agree on the fact that one thing ... ...

»January 7, 2009: The garlic fight at CIMBA
A cultural note: Do the Italians put a lot of garlic in their food? According to some stereotypes and clichés I could say yes, but after one semester at CIMBA I would dare say much less than the Americans do! But is it such a big deal? Well, living at CIMBA and being Italian, which implicates that the food for me (as for all the Italians) is sacred justifies the controversy. At ... ... (MORE)
