Hi Jacob,

Wherever you are in the world, you've probably been spending more time at home lately than you're accustomed to. Formerly places of retreat, rejuvenation or at least autonomy, with the pandemic, our homes have become intensively infused with duty while our lives have become elaborate balancing acts - of fresh air and refuge, work and leisure, family and solitude, accountability for the present and uncertainty of the future.

With this in mind - and in response to a survey conducted across our community - we're introducing a more diverse range of content to our media channels to satisfy different moods, tastes and time demands. Whether you crave fresh insights on leading from a distance, need inspiration on self-care and using your creativity for good or yearn to understand the nature of biotech innovation: from our brand new, "short and sweet" bite-sized podcast series to our ever-expanding selection of Meet the Experts interviews, we're certain you'll find an intellectual niche that enables you to expand your horizons even when you're tucked under the duvet.

It has never felt more essential to be engaged in the education of creative business leaders than right now: their expertise and vision will be increasingly in demand as we venture into the uncharted professional landscapes of the new normal. In response to the increased demand for online learning, we are pioneering new formats in the weeks and months to come, expanding our range of non-degree and certificate courses and programs to make our faculty's expertise even more flexibly accessible to executives around the world. Details on these offerings will be available soon on our website - sign up now to register your interest in special topics and course formats.

Yours truly,

The Berlin School Team

We view our podcast channel as a space to investigate contemporary topics relevant to our community through both an academic and industry lens. Juxtaposing harmonious and dissonant opinions and approaches is, in our eyes, the essence of quality content. Discover our recent releases - perhaps your own beliefs will be deepened, challenged or completely re-invented.

Hi Jacob,

Across the Northern and Southern hemispheres at this time of year, it's the season for transformation, the balance of light and dark tipping in one direction or the other, leaves falling away or bursting forth. Meanwhile, in the global business world it's Q4 - a time for taking stock, reflecting on the year that has been and preparing for the year ahead.

At the Berlin School, we have reason to feel satisfied with what this year has brought us on the business side: from successfully taking our July EMBA module online in a special 2020 edition at lightning speed, to finding fresh torchbearers for our Future of Doing movement to transform creative workplaces, to strengthening our commitment to diversity and inclusion, to entirely re-visioning our EMBA program to ensure its global essence remains intact in the future.

Looking ahead to 2021, we are planning expansion along several exciting new educational avenues - stay tuned for more details in upcoming newsletters.

In closing, we'd like to remind those aiming to enhance their leadership skills in 2021 by joining our upcoming Class 26: don't miss out on applying for our Early Bird and Tuition Fund opportunities (more details below)!

Yours truly,

The Berlin School Team

Craving some fresh perspective? From the limitations of the Swiss design canon to the value of meaning in a data-driven world, our most recent media releases explore a wide spectrum of experiences, giving insights into the creative challenges facing black designers in the US, a semiotician's view on the subtleties of meaning, the global Berliner classroom and the fundamental human need to feel connected to something larger than oneself.

Hi Jacob,

We couldn't think of a more fitting symbol of our wishes to you this holiday season than these pomander balls. The color orange stands for enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, success, encouragement and excitement, while oranges are beloved for their health-giving properties and the scents of summer they carry to colder climes each winter.

We sincerely hope that 2021 brings you and your loved ones an abundance of health, creativity, inspiration, joy and the precious spice of in-person interactions - all the more rich and flavorful after a year such as this.

Best wishes,

The Berlin School

Hi Jacob,

In the recent weeks, we have been wading through a deluge of information: the countless news updates on the corona virus (2019-nCoV), which represents not just a global health crisis, but a phenomenon with many unknowns and ambiguities. As educators of creative leaders, we have learned that the most effective way through times of uncertainty is to keep learning - engaging both the imagination and the intellect.

While some of our near future plans were impacted, we are moving forward with our Future of Doing workshop series, the Cannes Creative Leaders Programme and the July Berlin Module, capped off as usual by a graduation celebration for our Executive MBA in Creative Leadership graduates.

To help keep you inspired, stimulated and motivated in the weeks and months to come, we have also gathered together some fresh 'brainfood' consisting of a free webinar, a workshop series and a new batch of podcast episodes. We hope you enjoy them and look forward to your feedback, as always.

Yours truly,

The Berlin School Team

In our recent Meet the Experts podcast interviews, we learned about the importance of having a 'sound' sonic strategy, how to best utilize martech solutions in and beyond the agency landscape, what kind of 'high' standards and hopes pioneers in urban air mobility have for the future and the key pillars of employee experience for creative makers.
