I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. I really never have been.
Mainly I don’t like the idea of waking up one day and declaring things like, “I will now exercise more”. While I do believe a New Year offers the chance for a new start, I think more often than not, New Year’s [...]

Boy how time flies! Incredibly, we’ve made it through another year.
2010 was an interesting year for me, comprised of what I see as two separate phases: the last six months of business school, and the first six months of the rest of my life.
Anyone who’s gone to business school can speak to how intense the [...]

One topic that comes up often in CSR discussions is social intrapreneurship (in fact, it’s something I’ve written about previously on The Changebase).
Lots of people want to do CSR work, but not everyone is lucky enough to be in the right place, at the right time to land that perfect CSR job.
Thankfully that doesn’t mean [...]

Hello everyone!
I am back from my cross country road trip and happy to report I am officially based in the San Francisco Bay Area again.
I have many stories to share from the road, but before I recap my trip, I wanted to give a quick plug for my friend and fellow Twitterer Aman Singh Das, Corporate [...]

One of the best things about being in grad school and conducting a job search is getting to do informational interviews.
As an MBA student I had the opportunity to connect with and ask questions of professionals in CSR, philanthropy, social enterprise and sustainable business. Luckily, even though business school is over, I’m still able to [...]

After a whirlwind week of celebrations – and just a little pomp and circumstance – the dust is finally settling and life is returning to normal (although, one quick plug, I’m still looking for a job!)
But before we close this chapter completely, I wanted to share a quick [...]

I’m thrilled to announce that in two weeks I’ll be graduating from business school!
As unbelievable as it sounds (even when I say it), the end of my MBA program is amazingly just around the corner. While it hasn’t always been fun – derivative equations in economics class come to mind – it has been an [...]

In the grand scheme of things, Corporate Social Responsibility is still an emerging field, which means that everything – from general strategy to best practices – is still being solidified.
One of the questions that is still debated quite often in the CSR community concerns the “business case” for this kind of work.
In a world where [...]

With just over two months left until I graduate from business school, I’ve started to reflect on what I’ve accomplished over the last two years.
Without a doubt, the most fulfilling experiences of my MBA program have been the chances I’ve had to engage in real-world consulting projects for corporate and nonprofit clients.
In the last four [...]

I’m pleased to share that my birthday was this week (for those who know me well, you know this is a big deal).
I love birthdays in general, and I especially love mine. Why?
Well, my birthday is an important time for me for a couple of reasons. Yes, I love cake and presents and having an [...]
