Lisa Doganieri just wrapped up her week at Harvard! Hear about her experience below:

"The professors are incredible and really get you thinking in new ways. The professors reviewed cases focused on marketing, strategy, finance, content and customer service and HR. The professors presented key messages and takeaways during each of their courses and I hope to be able to apply them in my daily life.  The course itself was a lot of work but it was very rewarding to have completed it. Lots of preparation reading 17 cases ahead of attending and then prepping for the classes the night before to make sure I was ready for the next day.

The people I met were also wonderful. It was such a dynamic group of people and it was quite impressive to see that a large selection of the attendees were VPs or SVPs at some of the biggest companies in our industry (Comcast, Disney, Charter, Paramount, Cox, etc). I’m certain that I’ve made some new friends for life after having gone through this experience together.

Living on campus was also a unique experience. We were set up in groups of 7-8 people and we shared an “apartment’ style set-up. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom and the group shared a common living room, kitchen and boardroom.

Thank you again for having organized the CTAM Canada Harvard Essay Contest. I’m so grateful that I pushed myself to apply and was able to benefit from this wonderful and challenging experience."
