Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- Dean Raghu Sundaram immediately loved the idea and invited her to take a swing at it. She did just that, writing a detailed curriculum for a seven-week course from scratch called Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Career You Want and Need. “Our New York City location affords us many extraordinary advantages, not least our unparalleled access to so many top business and thought leaders who bring their real-world experiences directly into our classrooms,” says Sundaram. “Suzy is a superb case in point. When she and I first spoke, she described her thoughts to me of teaching a course centered around self-awareness, authenticity and the central question about one’s true life purpose, I jumped at it. It was an exciting idea. She said she wished she had had such a course when she was doing her MBA; I wish I had too.”

'In more recent years, Stern has meticulously built a similar reputation in consulting, with graduates bringing high [emotional intelligence] to these firms.'"
