IESE

IESE stands for Instituto de Estudios Superiores De Empresas.    It's the business school where I did my MBA many moons ago and with which I collaborate now as a Senior Executive Coach . . . their words, not mine!

I remember when I read the full title for the first time thinking it was a finishing school for Empresses and wondering if Queen Victoria was an alumni.    Apparently not.    Empresa is Spanish for business so the exotiqueness of it evaporated a little.    The whole experience of attending was still wonderfully enriching and provided knowledge, language skills, a deep cultural experience and blood brother friends for life.   IESE, four letters that changed our lives for good and for the better.
