I have 12 minutes to write this post before the library closes!!\u00a0 It was a reasonably productive work week and an irregular Saturday so far.\u00a0 This morning I played doubles tennis at 8am which was a great deal of fun until it started to rain.\u00a0 The upside to this was it enabled me to watch a bit of the French Open before I departed for the library.\u00a0 This is when things became irregular!!\u00a0 It was raining, in fact storming, so I spent 2 hours at a coffee shop.\u00a0 I\u00a0 accomplished some good reading and thinking there.\u00a0 I then decided to reward myself with a short shopping trip before the library.\u00a0 This\u00a0turned into\u00a0a two hour “break” and resulted in serious damage to my VISA card.\u00a0 That said, it was a great deal of fun!<\/p>\n
Suffice it to say, I was very focused when I arrived at the library at 3pm.\u00a0 I\u00a0 finished reading Dag\u2019s dissertation and summarized some high level take-aways.\u00a0 I also pulled together a high level plan for the week which will include sending Dag a thank-you email.\u00a0 His dissertation has deepened my understanding \u00a0of the scope of the DBA Stage and provoked useful thinking about my research question and methodology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next week I will also complete some industry research that should enable an expansion of my research sample, as well as\u00a0several Khan Academy tutorials.\u00a0 What are Khan Academy tutorials?\u00a0 \u00a0They are my new BFF!\u00a0 I found out about the website in the context of my interest in children\u2019s education. \u00a0Khan has created an extensive library of tutorials to help children understand math.\u00a0 I was thrilled to discover that he also has created an extensive library on Statistics.\u00a0 Last week I completed 3 modules and found them very easy to understand and a very digestible activity for during the work week.\u00a0 I plan to work through the entire library this summer.<\/p>\n
Another highlight for the week was meeting with another researcher who is exploring gender and leadership.\u00a0 She is completing a PhD and we hit it off right away.\u00a0 It was really enjoyable to discuss concepts, theories, and researchers who we both knew and also to exchange ideas.\u00a0 I am looking forward to staying connected to her as we both travel the path to doctorate.\u00a0 Have to sign off now, the library is now closed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
