I got more out of the farm than Harvard Business School.

I have lectured at Town Hall N.Y., The Library of Congress, Harvard, Yale, Amherst, Wellesley, Columbia, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana State University, Colorado, Stanford, and scores of other places.

I moved back to Boston and joined some of my Harvard classmates at Bain & Co. I quickly realized I enjoyed business.

The time I have already spent at Harvard has been a stimulating experience, and I look forward to developing my relationship and activities with the students, faculty and friends of the Harvard Business School community.

I took a job at the Walt Disney Company and after 18 months decided to go to business school at Harvard. I was awestruck by the campus. My first reaction was 'I don't belong here.' Then I said, 'I'm here; let's get on with it.'

My most difficult class at Harvard Business School would have to be finance.

I delivered lectures, and I was also a consultant for international companies in finance, both private equity and big venture capital funds.

I didn't go to a business school. I didn't really study it.

I've been awed by the incredible opportunities that automatically float to the Harvard undergrads I once taught - from building homes for the poor in Nicaragua to landing prime White House internships.
