The Residential Week at The Shard was a real highlight of the programme. After the first few months of studying online, it was fantastic to finally meet my classmates and faculty in person. Connecting with people from all over the world, many of whom have also lived and worked internationally, made the experience even more meaningful.

During the week, we took part in leadership and development sessions that helped me better understand my own behavioural style and how I collaborate with others. I particularly enjoyed the sustainability sessions, as they aligned closely with my professional interests. Hearing how sustainability is being approached across different industries and organisations through the experiences of my classmates gave me fresh perspectives.

I left feeling inspired to continue learning, with stronger connections to my classmates and a renewed enthusiasm for the journey ahead.
