Haas Leadership Club
The Haas Leadership Club is a group interested in defining and practicing leadership. Last year, we had some great successes including the Graduate Business Conference in April 2008. We've put together a line up for Fall 08 that will give us more of what Leadership Communications and the Leadership class started. Besides a natural interest, we're also looking for a small group of Full-Time and Evening & Weekend MBAs with commitment and passion who can eventually take over the club and steer it into the Spring and Fall of 09.
This Fall, we expect to be hosting events including:
Ø A media communications seminar session: professional insights on how to speak to the media (includes practice in front of a camera and mock press statement)
Ø Rich Lyons on leadership & leadership development at Goldman Sachs
Ø Practical exercises in Leadership
Ø Communication on the spot in a corporate and personal setting
Ø Leadership club movie: The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition
Ø The Second Haas MBA Great Debate (subject TBD)
Ø Great speeches with Bill Sonnenschein: a chance to observe and learn the leadership styles of famous leaders
We also encourage non members to join our events, however, there will be a small fee to cover
the expense of hosting that event.

Starting this month, the Career Services committee is organizing a series of events to highlight leading consulting firms. Each event will feature a Berkeley Alum from the featured firm who will provide an insider’s view of consulting in general and the firm in particular. Think of this as a mini firm-night with all of the information and none of the pressure. We are delighted to kick-off this series of events with Arif Janjua, Partner, Boston Consulting Group, San Francisco.
In order to maximize the return for all attendees, we encourage only those individuals to attend who are committed to consulting and who have used the resources available on CareerNet to obtain a reasonable understanding of this career path.
