PAUL H. ROBERTS B.A, M.B.A
WHY EDUCATION?
As a student in the 2019-2021 UVIC MBA Program I brought over 19 years of business experience. I was armed with a vast array of real world scenario’s and challenges that were not necessarily taught in the class room.
The 19 years since my Under Grad convocation, the maturing years, I’ll call them, I grew in to a creative thinker, a generator of ideas, a leader of change, an open communicator, and a respectful manager. I developed a strong understanding of social equality and a keen sense of responsibility to uphold such values in the workplace.
I am a busy, ambitious father and husband, an ardent student in life and a quick whit. As a highly creative person I incorporate those traits in to all my business doings. Acceptance into the Gustavson School MBA Program allowed satiated my thirst for education and ambition. A structured program, like the MBA, profoundly augmented the lessons in business that I had already learned. In addition I have recently continued my education by enrolling in the Certified Associate Project Manager program. A program that I see validifying my strong understanding of developing and managing future projects as I have done in the past.
I continually long for deeper education, a broader skillset and challenges slightly outside of my comfort zone. Business leaders are not always dressed in suits and ties, albeit I look great in one, I am not necessarily that person. What I am is a dynamic, pragmatic and creative thinker that believes the sky is the limit. However, to get there you need the proper tools, the right team, respect for others and a clear vision.
