Just in case my plate wasn't full enough (and believe me, it was), I've agreed to teach a course as an Adjunct Instructor next semester at Creighton University's College of Business.
Many moons ago, when I began this career transition, teaching at the college level was one of the things I had on my list of potential jobs to explore. While I must admit I haven't been super-diligent about following up everything on the list -- conducting more of a search for serendipity than a targeted and exhaustive exploration of all options -- when this opportunity basically dropped into my lap, I wanted to take the time to give it a real try.
The course I'll be teaching is one required for seniors called BU 471: Strategic Management. One of the other instructors in the department described the course as a "capstone" -- which means it is used to pull concepts together from a number of specific disciplines into an integrated subject.
The course is taught using the case method -- the same method I used during my MBA -- and I think that cases are a well-suited way to cover subjects that aren't particularly cookie-cutter.
So I'm excited about the opportunity, and also a little nervous as I've never tried this type of challenge before. While I'm pretty comfortable with the subject -- Strategy -- I'm not so familiar with working in the University environment.
It should be...educational. Both for me and the students!

awesome blog mate I've been studying it for a few days trying to suss out a bit of a plan. Just wondered if you could give your opinion on a potential itinerary. I have just over 3 weeks in Thailand and will be spending a about 5 nights in Bangkok (2 at the start, 3 at the end) so have just over 2 weeks to visit the islands.
