A trip to Leuven – negotiating the flights

Standard

Saturday, 12-April-2025


One of the big events of the MBA is the Negotiating for Value module. A week-long event, off campus, where we’d learn the theory of negotiations, while getting to put that theory to practice with a whole pile of day-long lectures and practical negotiations.

It all started with a flight from Dublin, a lovely jaunt above the Irish Sea, over the UK, across the English Channel, and into Belgium…

A bike ride through Phoenix Park

What does one do when they need to escape the city of Dublin, but don’t quite have enough time to rent a car and actually escape? Or to take the 90min train ride out to Howth?

Well… if one is like me, and has a bike…

Then one can take a lovely afternoon bike ride through the largest enclosed public park in a European Capital!

Yep, lots of caveats to that “largest” marker… but you know what? It still makes for a very lovely bike ride. So I won’t complain.
