Welcome to my blog and please enjoy traveling with me vicariously to a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership. The program has a global flare and addresses those elements that make organizations stronger and teams more dynamic. It folds in travel, diversity, colleagiality, and trust.
My journey to the Pepperdine campus began almost a year ago with the search for the perfect learning institution to help me achieve my goal of a terminal degree. My criteria was rather specific: a school with a stellar faculty and an outstanding reputation; a program focused on making organizations shine; and a programatic architecture that combined some on-line learning and mostly on-site lectures (establishing a network of colleagues is essential to me).
After the search led me to Pepperdine University, the "to do" list leading to acceptance presented itself - and a long action item list it was! There were forms, tests, essays, and recommendations. There were weeks of test prep, and essay edits. And most importantly there were the ever so critical Letters of Recommendation. Elaine, Casey, and Dave have my everlasting gratitude for taking the time to author the key documents for entry to the program!
