Corinn McCarthy Bergeron, MBA
Competitive Differentiation
At this point, I only have five classes left in the Champlain MBA program. The reasons I’m getting my MBA have changed: originally, I saw it as a method to open up my career and provide avenues to new opportunities. As I’ve gone through the program, however, I’m seeing my education as a means to make me a better employee, a better communicator, a better leader.
The Champlain MBA program is helping me develop skills for concepts that I didn’t think I was good at — leadership, accepting full accountability for success or failure. Creating a vision for something to present to someone above me was not something I ever saw myself having the ability to do; I saw myself as the doer, the worker bee, the one who helps other people realize their vision.
The further I’ve progressed through the program, the more I can see the steps to taking an idea of my own to completion, and I can see clearly how that can benefit my employer right now. In fact, everyone I know in the program talks about how happy their employers are about what they are learning at Champlain.
I’m paying the entire tuition cost on my own. It’s absolutely it. This is how I invest in myself, how I invest in my future and my future mobility. I’m investing in becoming a more desirable employee.
