Participant Stories

Last month, I completed the Advanced Finance Program at Wharton Executive Education. The program is transformative not only because of the world-class faculty who challenge and prepare you, but also because of the classmates and the classroom experience; truly a place where iron sharpens iron. Joining the amazing Wharton alumni network is just icing on the cake.

Here's the message I left my classmates with on the final day of class: Beware your ROT — Return On Time. The next five years are happening whether you want them to or not, so don't put off decisions. Go after your ambitions and commit to seeing it through. Apply for that promotion, start that business, get into (or complete!) that Ivy League program...whatever it is, start today and maximize your return on time...otherwise you'll rot."
