What is doing your Exec MBA really like?

This was a question that somebody posed as we stood next to a BBQ on a very pleasant summers evening.
As somebody working my way along the Exec MBA journey, my experience has been that one of the things that you  have to realise is that your social life is going to take a battering, so a BBQ occasion was one of those to treasure.

You need to ensure that your family is on board.  It does undoubtedly stress everything that previously was relaxed, structured and/or planned out.  But you will meet great people, and learn to work together in a team, in a way that I certainly had never experienced before.

I did find this article on WSJ.com which does give a view of what it is like.
