Out across the river in Dublin, there’s a spot called the Gin Palace. I’d heard of it a few times, but hadn’t had an opportunity to go… until now, that is!

All of my classmates are impressive, and I’m having an absolute blast getting to know them all – either working together in teams, grabbing lunches before or after lectures, or heading out to dinner / drinks after we’ve made our escape from the business school. Gin Palace had been up on my list, and so made for a rather lovely opportunity to chat with our class representative, get some feedback from her, and pick her brain for a bit of insight into her leadership journey.

It was absolutely lovely – they had solid food, and teapots full of gin drinks for us to try. We sampled a flight of various uniquely named offerings, realized that the teapot was made a bit stronger than I’d expected, and shared some excellent stories and memories.

Another small step forward in the whole MBA process – building lovely connections, strengthening the social battery, and having a good time while doing all the above.
