Christoph Woermann, FCIM’s Post

When I was 25 years old, I took a leap of faith and flew over 9,000 miles away from home to pursue my dream of earning a master's degree in the EU. Growing up in a middle-class family, I had only seen airplanes from afar, never imagining that one day I would board one and travel across countries. Taking that risk at a young age was a daunting decision, but I knew that I had to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the unknown to achieve great things in life. The day I embarked on that long-haul flight marked the beginning of an incredible journey, both personal and academic. As the plane took off, leaving my homeland behind, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation. But one thing was certain – I was determined to make the most of this opportunity and prove that with hard work and unwavering dedication, even the seemingly impossible can become a reality. Looking back, at this very photo which I took first up, I'm grateful for taking that risk because it opened up a world of possibilities and transformed my life in ways I could have never imagined. My message to you all is this: don't be afraid to chase your dreams, even if they seem out of reach. Embrace the challenges, take calculated risks, and have faith in your abilities. The rewards of stepping out of your comfort zone can be truly remarkable. Remember, great achievements rarely come easily, but with perseverance and a willingness to take that leap, you can unlock doors to a future filled with growth, fulfillment, and personal triumph. #FirstFlightExperience #OvercomingChallenges #ChaseYourDreams #InternationalEducation #InternationalStudentLife

Enia's post-sabbatical debrief is the perfect example of how important -- but also mundane -- a good sabbatical can be. Here's a closer look at her debrief post: 1. She mentions 10 months and 31 cities on her time off, but... it's the "time and mental space...to be fully present with friends and family" that sticks out as the primary memory. She mentions being present for both of her parents' birthdays for the first time in 15 years. And with "no distractions or urgent meetings." When was the last time you felt like that? 2. People return from sabbatical more apt to do good in the world! "As I reflected during my sabbatical travels, I felt an urge to give back to society in a much more tangible and meaningful way than I was doing in the past." What is it about time off and perspective that has this effect on people? It's stories like these that are the most heartwarming to me, and also the most difficult to create a sense of urgency around the importance of time off. Most people would crave the ability to go on such an epic travel adventure as Enia, but they wouldn't realize they needed the simple pleasures of spending quality time with people until they got there. And they couldn't be told that their work -- while interesting and engaging -- might not seem as important with the benefit of hindsight. Appreciate your openness and willing to share Enia S., and hoping your story empowers many other folks at Infosys and Microsoft! #sabbatical the Sabbatical Project

Life Update: 🌍 Exciting times as I've recently relocated to Cardiff, UK for my master's degree journey! 📚 The cold weather and surprise showers keep me on my toes, but there's an undeniable charm to exploring a new city.

We're taking our love for tiny living and giant adventures to a whole new level - we've decided to drive around the world (or at least one continent at a time) in our truck camper! 🌍 We get asked all the time, "But what about work?" Here's our reality: creating content, capturing moments, and sharing stories have always been our passion, but it's not the only thing we do. We wear many hats (figuratively and literally, because sun protection is key 😉). We've been juggling freelance gigs with some amazing companies that fill our workdays with diverse projects and learning opportunities. Thanks to the magic of Starlink, our 'office' now comes with unlimited scenic views. We can confirm emails amidst the mountains and have meetings by the sea. It's pretty wild to think we can keep doing what we love, working with incredible teams, all while crossing new horizons. This trip is a blend of our passion for exploration and commitment to our careers. It's about finding that sweet spot where work meets play, and proving that with the right tech and a solid internet connection, the world really can be your oyster (or office, in this case). We're so excited to bring you along on this epic road trip. We'll be documenting it all, sharing not just the postcard-perfect sights but the real, raw, and ridiculously funny moments that happen along the way. To our clients and colleagues, think of this as us just taking the remote work concept to its literal extreme. We're as committed as ever and maybe even a bit more inspired by all the new views. So here's to the open road, to embracing the unknown, and to all the stories waiting to be told. Stay tuned for updates, behind-the-scenes peeks, and maybe even some starlit workspace setups. It's going to be one heck of a ride, and we're just getting started. P.S. If you've ever wondered how to balance work with wandering, stay tuned. We're about to get a crash course in it, and we'll be sharing every tip and trick we learn along the way. 🌍💻

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company What are we actually celebrating? Isn't it just another fossil ship that will manage to emit 5 million tons of CO2 before it has to be scrapped, causing an additional emission? How does this ship align with the goals we have set for ourselves, and what is MSC's strategy to reach net zero by 2050 with vessels like these in its fleet?

From Fresh Starts to New Horizons: Tomorrow's First Day! 💼 As I prepare to embark on my new journey tomorrow, I can't help but draw parallels between the anticipation of my first day at school and the nerves pulsating through me now. I chuckle at the thought of my Midwestern accent making its debut in the South. 🤣 Yet, amidst the nerves, there's a sense of adventure as I embrace the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture and community. 🌳🍑 Tomorrow marks the beginning of a fresh chapter, where the comfort of a familiar job role and beloved field of aviation intertwines with the thrill of the unknown. I'll admit, I'm feeling a bit nervous for tomorrow's first day. So here's to embracing the butterflies, stepping out of our comfort zones, and writing a new chapter of our story with courage and enthusiasm! 💪📈 Tomorrow is a new day, one filled with endless possibilities, growth, and a dash of nerves reminiscent of those schoolyard days. Yet, just like back then, I'm eager to walk into the unknown, armed with curiosity and the thrill of a fresh start with the promise of new experiences. 🌟💼 To embracing the butterflies, seizing every opportunity, and making tomorrow the first step towards achieving our professional goals. Let's write a success story that rivals our schoolyard dreams! 💪📈 #NewBeginnings #FirstDayExcitement #ProfessionalJourney #MidwestMeetsSouth #AviationAdventure #flightoperations #pilottraining #aviationsafety #aviationeducation FlightSafety International
