My 'Halfway There' with the FS EMBA

Grigori Garbouzov

As I reflect on my EMBA journey thus far and look forward to the second half, I am filled with a sense of gratitude, excitement, and anticipation. The program has exceeded my expectations in terms of personal growth, professional development, and networking opportunities. Special appreciation for my peers! I have a feeling that now I have an open gate to a community of game changers and business influencers who are becoming my close friends.

The Empowering Message of Music & Role Models: How They Inspired Me to Study for Executive MBA
Tina Van Hoecke
Music is a universal language that has the power to inspire, empower and bring people together. As a young girl and teenager, I remember listening to songs by powerful female singers. Music has given these female singers a voice; it empowered them to seize any chance, face any hurdle and become the best versions of themselves, making them role models for many of us.
As expected, one needs to invest time in Executive MBA education and should not assume a few hours a week is enough. An EMBA is more than just a degree – it's a lifetime opportunity to keep learning, meet like-minded individuals and keep your mind young. The question is, how does one perceive the time invested in it?

Embracing ambiguity
Gaetano Fusillo
Ever present in the existential choices of adult life, ambiguity is certainly not new in fast-paced business environments. If the process of removing it has always been partial, as the world abandons the era of converging globalisation and becomes more geopolitical, removing ambiguity can feel more illusional than ever before.
Finding the right people to surround ourselves with is an art in which we are all invited to participate. In his famous book Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts wrote, “every human heartbeat is a universe of possibilities.” So, let’s start, fresh if we have to, take the beautiful colours we’ve surrounded ourselves with and paint a picture. Let’s be intentional this time.

My Executive MBA: A journey within and beyond

Shuo Zhang

We are forced into situations where there is no right answer or right way. Instead, there may be many options available. We are exposed to new ideas and concepts, which are not part of our day-to-day life. The learning path has been enriching and has made me look at things from different perspectives. It is not about the destination; it is about the journey.

Dancing into the Executive MBA

Jason Jacobs

What does dance have to do with business? They share a focus on negotiating relationships in pursuit of successful performance. Considering my background, I am not the typical candidate for an MBA programme. For the past 20 years, I have worked as a professional ballet, modern and contemporary dancer.

Geopolitics for Organizations – tools to navigate a challenging world
Elter Nehemias Santos Barbosa
Strategy and risk management are central to the role of a board of directors. They must take into account the changing nature of risks in order to adjust the adopted strategy. Risks of a political nature are one of several that need to be monitored.
I entered a highly demanding but highly rewarding programme full of motivated and highly capable colleagues that will push each other to learn fast and apply our learnings in our current environments. I am thrilled about the journey my colleagues and I will embark on. It will be an exhausting period, but I am sure that it will be extremely rewarding.

People, Planet, Profit: a trend or a business essential?
Patricia Oliveira
The module in Paris stirred us, created awareness and helped in a positive direction towards shaping a more sustainable future. I am very grateful for this week! I am also very grateful for the opportunity to develop deeper connections with my colleagues.
After ten months, my perspective, expectations, knowledge, and opportunities have all undergone a complete transformation. Now I can see things from a different perspective, and I have always believed that the most effective method to boost one's self-confidence is to increase one's level of education.

My Hybrid Learning Experience at Frankfurt School

Mike Thaler

In April 2020 COVID-19 changed the world and nothing was as before. Meeting the classmates face-to-face, interact with the teaching professors and exchange information in coffee chats at Frankfurt School changed.

One year later: reflecting on my Executive MBA journey
Angelo Gibaldo
Time has flown and I have successfully completed my studies. During this time, many positive events have happened to me. I would like to go into a little more detail about some of these positive events. However, the fact is that in addition to the global pandemic, there were various other global disasters that have occurred.
Time flies! And here I am today already forty-two years old, stunned by how fast time went by. Everything I had read about the age of forty is certainly ringing true. I’ve always believed that in life, the biggest problem is fear, which is why I always tried to ignore it, and believe me, I am as stubborn as one can get.
