City Decisions. I've been writing a few posts recently, typically related to my journey back to grad school after years (decades) in the automotive industry. My last several years have entailed lots of travel though usually to a city with an automotive flavor to it: Paris, Stuttgart & Munich, Yokohama, and countless cities in China and I have loved the opportunity to work and interact with new locations and cultures. Now at Hult International Business School I'm getting the same opportunity as I look to signing up for my elective classes around the world. Here are a few of the options, of which I would be happy to hear feedback. The first options are the Hult campus programs at Dubai, London, Boston, New York and of course at home (for me) in San Francisco. Then it gets more exciting with non-campus courses in Mexico City, Madrid, Singapore and Stockholm. All of these cities have relevant courses to select from as I target venture capital and mergers and acquisitions specialty, perhaps in a new city. Let me know what cities would be your top choices for the summer. #vc #mergersandacqusitions #finance #internationalbusiness

🤔 I FUNDAMENTALLY BELIEVE THAT THE PLACE AND FAMILY YOU ARE BORN IN STILL DEFINE TOO MUCH THE SET OF #OPPORTUNITIES YOU CAN ACCESS TO ...Yes, there are exceptions (thankfully), hard work can bring you anywhere, BUT...if your parents cannot be your advisors or finance your endeavors; if you fail to meet mentors early on...you might not capture your full potential. While luck is accepted as part of life, I believe that technology can contribute to systematizing luck and improving things. At Nova, we envision a world where #merit is all you need to get instant access to all those opportunities that can improve your life and #career, regardless of your socioeconomic background: 🌐 A network of bright individuals 🪴Mentorship, education, role models 🏢Career opportunities As usual, I have a very tangible example of one of the big small victories on this journey. It was 2021, I remember leaving the SDA Bocconi office full of joy. They had just agreed to grant two 50% scholarships/year to excellent Nova members applying to their full-time MBA program. A partnership that still holds for all our members. To this day, 4 Nova members have accessed a world-leading program saving €30K+ on their tuition fees 💵, something we are very proud of and shows we are in the right direction toward our vision. We are constantly expanding the exclusive member benefits, so if you know about a leading organization we should consider, DM me 📩 #development #talent

🌍🎓 Embark on a Global Journey with Our International MBA Program 🌟📚 At the Wroclaw Business University of Applied Sciences, we are thrilled to offer an enriching International MBA program designed to elevate your career to new heights. Our program stands out by providing an immersive learning experience that combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, essential for today's dynamic business environment. 📢 Hear it from our student, Barbara Sawicka, who shared her transformative journey with us: 💬 “My head was full of question marks when I decided to join WAB for the International MBA Course. I was doubting my abilities to absorb the knowledge being such an “old” student... I imagined my English could not meet the standards for attending a professional lecture… I was afraid my private life and business duties would block my desire for self-development... Surprisingly, from the very first phone call I made, I got fully adopted and supported by the WAB’s team, which takes care of me as their daughter. I love the respect we are given by the professors. They are so motivating! Besides the knowledge, they share a lot of personal experience, which is really inspiring. What surprised me positively is the general attitude to the course – theoretical lectures are just a little part of it; the focus is on practical abilities: practical classes, workshops, team works. Being honest, I am proud I joined the International MBA and (so far) I consider it one of the best decisions I made in my professional life.” Are you ready to make a pivotal decision in your professional life, just like Barbara? 🌟 🌐 What makes our International MBA unique?

Studying for an MBA in Germany is an investment and often not possible without financing — Completing an #MBA #program definitely pays off for the students, I told the Süddeutsche Zeitung in my position as Director of the Full-Time and Part-Time MBA programms at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management. They gain more knowledge, access to entrepreneurial networks, and inspiration for their professional careers. Moreover, they can significantly increase their earning #potential, often doubling their average income. I also believe it's wise to pursue the degree after 3-5 years of work experience. With professional experience, one processes the same content quite differently, as the level of insight has advanced.   The full feature in the print edition (SZ from October 20, 2023, page 19) elaborates on cost coverage options, showcases various #financing models, and highlights concrete case studies of MBA #students. Special thanks to #myWHU MBA student Aniruddh Goteti for sharing his personal insights. #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #BusinessSchool
