Thought this would be a nice thing to end the week on. God helps me breathe, wake up in the morning (noon), blink, dream, love my husband, love myself, use opposable thumbs to type this. The list goes on. Thank you, God. (Stolen from @dominicana3272)
New book by my favorite author! The long awaited English translation of my mother's FIRST book is out! To be honest, when I first read her Spanish script a few years ago I put it off because I was so nervous to see what really happened. See, the first time she was diagnosed with breast cancer, we both had just graduated, me with a BA, she with an MA, we moved to a new house and I started my first full time job. There was so much change going on that I sort of put my mom's illness into a black box. I knew it was there, it existed, and it was affecting me, but I didn't know how. People would ask me things like, how is your mom doing? and I'd be like, she's good. Because I didn't want to ask her the details. My mom, the strong one wasn't supposed to get sick, so I just kind of, blacked it out. The second time she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, this time I was engaged, living in DC and starting the second semester of my MBA. It was easy again to not know the details and given that we as a family have done this once we could do it again. I've actually lost my train of thought and I definitely lost track of what I was trying to write in the beginning, but...my mother has asked us all to see her illness as blessing (???). If you know my mother, she will be the first one to annoyingly say "everything happens for a reason" when something bad happens and her 2x cancer diagnoses, it was the same expression. It has definitely given me perspective in life. I used to get so stressed about everything...grades, friendships, self imposed goals...I'd freak out. Now if something doesn't go my way, I'm like...well it's not as serious as cancer so it'll be fine. I know it's a weird way to look at things, but my mom says life is easier this way haha and mom knows best. Anyway go read her book. #linkinbio #emotionalaf #lyndareads
I’ve been on a Royal Family binge ever since Meghan Markle got engaged. (I’ve watched everything on Netflix about the royal family so if there’s something free on amazon you can recommend, hmu) anyway I bought this audiobook because the voice actor, Katherine Kellgren, recently passed away and she was featured on the Audible Home page. I listened to a clip, and bought it without reading what it was about. I suggest you do the same. It is so well done, probably one of the best I’ve heard so far. The story is pretty good too, but Kellgren knocks it out of the park. #lyndareads #audible
I ordered a shower curtain from Shutterfly and it came in this super cute bag. Tempted to make it into a purse or pillow. 🤔
As you can see, I’m really pushing for focus and inspiration this year. Just finished this little book, just 90 pages. The key takeaway is to replace a bad habit with a good one. Oh and also. “Self Discipline is Self Caring.” I never thought of it that way. #lyndareads #linkinbio
#justfinished I saw the Netflix series based on the book, and HATED it. But at the insistence of Hillary, I gave the book a Shot. Let me be clear, I hate the terms “girl boss, lady boss, ladypreneur” etc. So hearing the narrator say “girlboss” hundreds of times made me cringe. However, I did like most of this book. I really only wanted to hear about Sophia’s life but there were a few scattered essays from other entrepreneurs I could have done without. I do admire Sophia’s story, even if the company she founded went bankrupt just 2.5 years after she published this book, (and right as Netflix was producing the show). But whatever, Ford, Disney, Hershey and Heinz all went bankrupt at one point, so I’m excited to see how Sophia does after this. #lyndareads
First book of 2018 down! I wanted to start with something that could teach me more about happiness and tbh it was ok, so I’ll save you the trouble. The secrets to happiness are: 1-Be happy first 2-Do it for you 3-Remember the lottery 4-Never retire 5-Overvalue you 6-Create space 7-Just do it 8-Be you 9-Don’t take advice #lyndareads
Late post because I needed to recover from the weekend, but this is the incredibly talented group of undergraduates that I had the honor of serving as their TA. In order to join the class they had an interview, a presentation and a panel interview. They worked 30+ hours a week since January 1 and even spent the entire spring break in the library working on this project. I would absolutely trust ANY of these undergraduates to do quality work over some of my MBA classmates. If anyone is looking to hire entry level super stars in marketing, PR, events, etc. with real work experience, I can write a recommendation for any of them. #cravingshappeneattaipei #🔥🔥🔥🌶 #nebulous #cutwordsnotcontent
A day in the life of an MBA
Last Monday I had one of those days that really made me think about my life as it stands. I remember sitting thinking, “Wow, I really am living that #mbalife” Here’s what I did:
Monday, April 11, 2016
6ish AM - Wake up to get to campus by 6:45 to drill finance problems with classmate. Quiz is in 4 hours. Share words of encouragement / frustration with more classmates who trickle in.
9:40 AM - Finance class starts, professor lectures, quiz is handed out.
12:15 PM - Leave class feeling like I could have done better, but knowing my score definitely improved from the last quiz (thanks study team!) Make my way towards Dupont for a 2pm meeting.
12:45 PM - Eat a healthy lunch at a hole in the wall place boasting “Baja California food.” Call my mom as I continue to walk to meeting place.
1:00 PM - Chat with my mom about how to handle stress, befriend the pigeons at Dupont Circle. Somehow my fiancee knew I was feeding them.
1:30 PM - Arrive at Kramerbooks and Afterwords Cafe, order a nitro coffee (looks like a stout) and journal for about 30 minutes. Wait for my appointment to start.
2:00 PM - Start my session with the Proinspire fellow I am coaching. It feels so cool to be a coach for a program that was so valuable to my career. Maybe I’ll be a professional coach one day?
3:00 PM - Walk back to campus for a 4 o’clock meeting with my Consulting Abroad Project CAP team and professor. Discuss the ways we can compare the Israeli and Estonian entrepreneurial landscape to that in South Africa. *Spoiler alert: It’s hard.*
5:00 PM - Wrap up meeting and declare next steps. Since I am the project manager of the team, I had to send a recap meeting to a teammate who wasn’t there. Walk home.
5:30 PM - Eat a Trader Joe’s salad that's in the fridge and watch two episodes of Animaniacs on Netflix. Appreciate that Dot always interrupts whoever says “Warner Brothers” and says, “And their Warner Sister!”
6:00 PM - Lay down for a 15 minute nap
8:30 PM - WAKE UP I OVERSLEPT
8:33 PM - Begrudgingly make my way to the gym in my building for cardio
9:30 PM - Run into my fiancee in the hallway. He’s just returned from the airport and looks exhausted
11: 30 PM - After a shower, debrief and more Netflix with my fiancee, I head to bed
11:30 PM - 1:45 AM - Stay up on Pinterest cursing my nap earlier
Looking back, that was quite a day I had. I can’t say that was typical for me, but it really makes me look back on the privilege I have to be able to be a full time business school student. It makes me appreciate the #mbalife I am living and enjoying.
Oh and if you’re interested, the previous Monday’s #dayinthelifeofanMBA looks like this
Monday, April 4, 2016
9:20 AM - Oversleep, skip the shower, run to class.
9:48 AM - Walk into finance class 8 minutes late, embrace walking in front of the professor to my first row seat. Sit in class and wonder what language is the professor speaking because I have no idea what is going on.
12:15 PM - Leave class feeling no better than I did before, walk to my next appointment
1:00 PM - Pee in a cup for a pre employment drug screen for my summer internship.
1:30 PM - Stop by a food truck outside my house for lunch and sit on Facebook for 2.5 hours.
3:00 PM - Gym
4:00 PM - Shower and wait for fiancee to get home. Watch TV together. Eat dinner. Watch more TV.
9:30 PM - Go to sleep
As you can see, this Monday is way less exciting than the first one, but that’s what makes being a student worth it. I can’t help but look back at both days and think I’m hashtag blessed.
VINCE PAGLIONE ENTREVISTA A LYNDA T. CORREA DURANTE CONFERENCIA ANUAL DE NSHMBA EN CHICAGO
One of the things on my #mbabucketlist is to improve my public speaking skills. So when I met a journalist at NSHMBA and he asked to interview me. I responded, “Sure! Wait, right now? Can I practice first?” (The answer was no.)
There’s nothing quite like an impromptu radio interview to learn how to cut out the likes and ums. Okay, fine, maybe this wasn’t a “public” speech, but it was totally unexpected and I even interviewed in Spanish, which they thankfully didn’t publish. #Spanglish
I spoke about my background, what it’s like to be a “woman in business,” which I write in “.“ because....well, you’ll see hear. I also spoke about my love for my alma mater, USC, GWU, cultural immersion and a group I’m involved with, Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute.
If you want to skip to the good parts, I’d recommend starting at 2:30 or 4:40.
Enjoy!
Check out this post to uncover quick ways to use Excel more effectively.
Here are some handy #Excel tips that might be useful for any business school student. Some of these are pretty basic, but I still think it’s worth a share.
It’s officially “the future!” Happy “Back to the Future” Day!
Lost in Translation: Episode 3
“Have a good one!”
What does that mean, exactly?
We were in Chicago for the National Society of Hispanic MBAs Conference and as we were leaving a restaurant, our bartender told us to “have a good one.” Andres, my Chilean teammate, asked me what does this mean and why do Americans say it? He said the first time he heard it was at a coffee shop and he assumed the barista was telling him to have a good coffee. I guess he or she could have been wishing him that too.
I never thought about it before, but now I can’t stop noticing how often we say it. Why? Why not say, have a good day? Or, Have a good evening/night/time/etc?
I explained it was a casual way of saying have a good day. He assumed as much.
I spent the rest of the conference mostly with an Italian from Uruguay Fulbright Scholar, and an Argentinian who’s lived in 0920492792598x countries (approximate) and can probably speak more languages than I’ve heard, and of course, Andres.
These are the small things I’m enjoying most about my MBA experience. Our class is over 50% international, which means I often have to pause and think about things I take for granted, like churros and Chipotle. During summer orientation, I had to explain to my Chinese classmate what is the magic of Chipotle. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I NEVER thought I would have to explain what are churros or Chipotle because of course, EVERYONE knows and loves Mexican inspired food. Silly Lynda, we have a long way to go.
Again, I can’t express again how much I love this part of school. I feel my world shrinking and expanding at the same time and it’s amazing.
Shamelessly handing my teacher a pop quiz with no correct answers.
So much truth. #LTCmba
Leaving Accounting today:
But actually #LTCmba
I’m Latina, but I’m not “spicy.”
Is this the equivalent of the “angry black woman” or the “crazy white girl” ?
Why can’t I just have feelings? For example, I feel that this video is great. Thank you Buzzfeed.
Meet my team this semester!
We are Impact 3: La Familia
We are in the Impact Cohort, team no. 3 and we named ourselves “La Familia” which, according to Google Translate means: “a household or religious community under one head, regarded as a unit.” We knew from the start that we would be spending a lot of time together and we wanted to be respectful of each other, no matter what. We agreed: who better than to show respect for than your family? We prefer if you pronounce La Familia with the accent of an old Italian pizza maker, or more popularly, Mario of Mario and Luigi.
To introduce you to my wonderful family we have:
Rajesh from Mumbai, India. (in plaid): CFA Level 3. Future CFO, but for now, MBA1 with a concentration in Finance - Asset Management.
Kunal from Ambala, India. (in black): IT Wizard. Deep thinker, silent processor. Concentration is undecided, but currently has excellent interpersonal/patience skills in dealing with mercurial Americans. No doubt he’ll be running the show one day.
Andres from Santiago, Chile (in white): All around Wise Business Man. Marketing concentration with an interest in entrepreneurship. Any VCs out there interested in launching the next bilingual billionaire?
Jade from Woodbridge, VA. (in orange): Army Captain. MBA mommy of 2. Body Builder. Bikini Competitor. Giver of contagious laughter. Hoping to be Will be an independent HR consultant.
