In 2008, The MYLO Center’s founder Margaret Andrews designed, developed, and launched the business course Managing Yourself and Leading Others at Harvard.

To this day, the course has a waitlist every time it is offered. In fact, it was so successful that Margaret later created a two-day executive program based on the course. It remains Harvard’s single most popular professional development program. 

Today, The MYLO Center brings Margaret’s teaching and the principles of her visionary courses to organizations around the world.
