We welcomed the International MBA 2022 class this week, a major mark for the Lisbon MBA Católica|Nova.

 

Our International MBA students embarked on a transformational journey full of brand new challenges, activities, and bonding moments: from inspirational talks and panels, presentations, Case Discussions, to outdoor activities, all were designed to motivate, foster connections and teamwork among the new group.

 

In the welcome session, Maria José Amich, Executive Director of the Lisbon MBA, Professor Filipe Santos, Dean of Católica-Lisbon, and Professors René Bohnsack and Paulo Pinho, Academic Directors of the Lisbon MBA, greeted the new students to the program with warm words of encouragement for the journey that is now beginning.

 

Later in the week the Lisbon MBA Católica|Nova invited Steven Braekeveldt, CEO of Group Ageas Portugal to meet the class and share his experience, and we had the pleasure of hosting a session with the Alumni Club, where some board members shared their successful journeys and the benefits of belonging to Alumni community, with approximately 3000 members representing different industries, geographies, and generations, the Lisbon MBA Alumni Club takes pride in developing an active, culturally diverse, and close-knit community.

 

An MBA is a time to develop management skills, but also a time to make life-long friendships with colleagues who will be your mentors, your teachers, crucial additions to your professional network, and key connections in your future career. Our students enjoyed a gastronomical experience at Casa da Dizimia where they were able to relax with dinner and cocktails by the seaside.

 

By the end of the week, the International MBA 2022 was closer than ever, the class initiated their Leadership Development and participated in a collaborative team-building activity: Volunteering with Impact, a session led by Just a Change. An inspirational session focused on the meaning and impact of Servant Leadership.

 

The Lisbon MBA International full-time 2022 is a varied group of 35 people from 16 nationalities (51% of the class is international). The journey has begun, good luck and welcome to an unforgettable educational experience!
