[It was a tough decision trying to decide]
[you learn so much about GE in business school, about]
[the Jack Welch years, you do business cases on it, ]
[and it's just one of the most highly regarded companies in the world, really. ]
[To have that type of opportunity ]
[to grow and develop your career there]
[was just very difficult to turn down. ]
[My most meaningful one, both from a business perspective ]
[and from a personal perspective, was the one I did in Prague, Czech Republic. ]
[I had the opportunity to work with five different countries, ]
[and worked on sales force effectiveness, ]
[so I got to be close to the customer and work with the sales people]
[understanding what motivates them, what drives them, ]
[which is essentially usually compensation, right. ]
[But I worked with them to better structure it the right way so]
[we got the most out of our sales teams across five countries.]
[Every time we have a training we get to]
[hear from these amazing leaders all across ]
[They come talk to us about their experiences.]
[They give us advice about how to succeed in our careers and at GE. ]
[And that has been extremely helpful, to learn]
[from them and just hear them talk.]
[They tell us about their career paths and ]
[everybody's got a different way about how they got to ]
[where they are and it helps us to ]
[better position ourselves and plan out our career going forward. ]
[I don't think we ever would have that opportunity if it wasn't for]
[ECLP organizing those types of events for us]
[and having these great speakers come in and talk to us. ]
[It's a friendly culture, but a culture that's going to keep you]
[keep you motivated to perform.]
[So it's--if you make commitments to the]
[organization, they're going to hold you to them. ]
[Obviously I knew it was going to be a pretty big program, but]
[I didn't expect to create such good friendships and such a great]
[network that I can call upon at any time to ]
[help me out, both in my career and even personally. ]
[I mean, that's been the biggest surprise ]
[and a great surprise and I think one of greatest ]
[strengths of the ECLP program. ]
[It's really made me understand and learn]
[how to change and adapt to life in general. ]
[in life no matter where you are, whether you're working at GE or ]
[whether you're working somewhere else or whether you]
[take that concept to your own personal life. ]
[You're always going to have change in life and ]
[you're not going to be able to plan everything out.]
[ECLP has taught me to, when a change]
