Studying at the DBA allowed me to:

  1. Actively train your brain. If we approach the human brain as a muscle, then 2 years of training allowed me to increase the intensity of training, which in turn had a positive effect on my life: I began to implement projects that were in the waiting stage, changed jobs, moved to work in Moscow.
  2. Expanded communication networks through training (colleagues in the group and teachers/speakers)
  3. The attestation work was of an applied nature and is now being implemented in real business.
  4. Completed my tasks of personal development: a list of books to read, useful articles and websites, activities in life. As an example, a trip to Baikal with Konstantinov GN

    In general, the training once again clearly demonstrated to me that the concept of LLL (long Life Learning) is not three L on paper, but constant hard work on oneself that cannot be stopped.
