How did you navigate being a mom and the demands of the program?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My classmates have been so gracious with their time. Typically, I am an active team member, but there were times right after my daughter was born that I had to rely heavily on my Learning Team. We all want to contribute, but allowing myself to accept help from classmates allowed me to push through the first few months.<\/p>\n<p>And it does take a village! Traveling in from Texas for on-Grounds weekends with a newborn was only possible with help from my family. My in-laws met me in D.C. and allowed me to focus on school. Now that my daughter is a little older, my husband rearranges his work schedule to ensure he can pick up at daycare.<\/p>\n<p>Learning how to prioritize the workload has been key. All students have limited time \u2060\u2014 \u00a0balancing work, life, family \u2060\u2014 not just new parents. No matter where you are in life, prioritization and organization are vital skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your best piece of advice for prospective students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Darden family is so willing to provide advice, work with your situation and go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need for success. Be willing to ask for help when you need it, and in return, be willing to provide that support to someone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Darden?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a certain combination at Darden that I find unique, and for me it goes back to the people involved. The staff is accessible and the professors present cases in an engaging manner. My classmates are phenomenal, with diverse experiences, and we always ready to support one another. The program provides a balanced learning experience, and I feel I gained useful knowledge in both quantitative skills as well as overall leadership.<\/p>\n<p><em>Check out faculty thought leadership published on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ideas.darden.virginia.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ideas to Action<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em><em>And stay connected with us via social media: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DardenMBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dardenmba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/edu\/school?id=19605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DardenMBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/brand.darden.virginia.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/qrcode_for_gh_23920314812f_860.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WeChat<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we continue our ongoing series about women in the Darden Executive MBA program with a conversation with Executive MBA (EMBA) format student, Anna Christen (Class of 2020).
