Lufthansa Group’s Post

Contents at company events are often just a necessary obligation before the important part: celebrating and drinking together... ...or not?! At Our Eurowings Digital Camp & Summerparty, we not only laughed, drank and celebrated, but also spent the whole day learning, discussing and developing the company with absolute passion. This only works if the whole day is designed as an event and not just a series of obligations. A good learning culture is characterized by engaging people, offering new experiences, and inspiring enthusiasm. At our Eurowings Digital Camp, we provided our team with a diverse program based on three pillars: 🧠 Knowledge: Gaining knowledge and a broader perspective 🙋♀️ Upskilling: Learning new methods and skills in joint workshops ❤️ Inspiration: Wow moments thanks to our great keynote Our conclusion: The effort is worth it. For all participants and the entire company. How do you design your company events? What has worked best for you? Or is the party the most important part after all? #companyculture #teamwork #innovation #learning #eurowingsdigital #applynow

Passing 100 Days in My New Role ✈️ Now it’s a great moment to pause and reflect as well as to look what comes next. My time so far as a Managing Director of Oscar Bravo has been remarkable. Let me share with you why:    🌟 The Oscars  > Diverse & Talented: Working with a young, dynamic, highly skilled and diverse team –  average age: 33, nationalities: 11, female quota: 63% - recipe for success > Our mission: We create an environment for digital, creative, innovation-driven intrapreneurs, who are waking up every day to challenge the status quo in digital aviation marketing to serve the travelers needs and hereby drive Lufthansa Group business growth – what an inspiring northstar that drives us as a team   🤝 Collaboration, Networking & Warm Welcoming  > Open Doors at Lufthansa Group: The supportive and inclusive atmosphere made my transition from mobility at the ground to the air really smooth > Exceptionally welcoming colleagues who have kindly integrated me into the aviation family – from airlines to Lufthansa Group functions, Lufthansa Consulting, Lufthansa Group Digital Hangar, #zeroG, Lufthansa Innovation Hub, Lufthansa Cargo and many more > Onboarding Journey: Over 30 get-to-know meetings for the Oscars alone! Thanks to my team for the valuable onboarding conversations, which provided me with the necessary personal and substantive depth > Participating at my first Lufthansa Airlines Conference: Being part of a great team plus experiencing and shaping the strategy firsthand   🚛 Transition from Mobility at the Ground to the Air:  > Never Stop Learning: Fascinating transition from the automotive to the aviation industry opens up entirely new perspectives and opportunities for me, along with many exciting new insights across the whole aviation group > Life of a Frequent Flyer: Numerous business trips have deepened my understanding of the industry and the Lufthansa Group's operations > Learning a New Language: Navigating the world of airline abbreviations and codes plus specific airline KPIs likes RASK, CASK etc. > Jump Seat Experiences: Unforgettable in-flight operational insights from the jump seat > Friendly Faces Everywhere: 🛫 Ground & Cabin Crew      🔍  The next steps are to refine Oscar Bravo`s identity and USP in digital marketing to strengthen our position within the Lufthansa Group together with our stakeholders. To me it is crucial to combine the best of both worlds: Appreciating and nurturing our fast paced “startup” like culture with the power and scale of the group.   #100days #OnboardingExperience #NewBeginnings

Discover The Italian Way, an intensive week organised by Manuela Balli and characterised by company testimonials, presentations and professional encounters with key industry figures that showcase the unique Italian approach to marketing and communication. As highlighted by Giuseppe Stigliano and Lucio Lamberti, co-directors of the International Master in Media and Communication Management, learning would be incomplete without an active engagement with companies. In this year's edition, we posed some insightful questions to two top managers about the core values of their companies and the characteristics they look for in candidates. In fact, we had the pleasure of hosting Davide Zanolini, CMO and Executive Vice-President Marketing & Communication at Piaggio, who discussed the company's key values and future challenges in the sustainable mobility sector and emphasised that a candidate must be able to show their own uniqueness to add value to the team. Similarly, Andrea Prati (庞安儒), Onboard Revenues Associate Vice President at Costa Crociere, shared the organisation’s vision towards climate neutrality and the importance of creating a transformative ecosystem. He also noted that when selecting a candidate, the company looks for those who meet their essential cultural requirements, can raise concerns, and whose opinions are valued. Their testimonies emphasise the importance of having a clear purpose and how this influences the choices and decisions of their enterprises. Through occasions like The Italian Way, our Masters allows students to immerse themselves concretely in real-world industry activities, creating invaluable networking and learning opportunities. Watch the video and dive into this week full of experiential activities! #make #connect #ignite #ShapingPurposefulFutures

#KaplanMobray #KeynoteSpeaker #Travel #Hospitality #ServiceExcellence “Be the Exceed” “Build an Extraordinary Brand” Back from my 30-day Asia tour. Grateful for the many life lessons from this experience and for your encouragement while on this journey. Had the opportunity to fly Singapore Airlines for the first time and mentioned it to the crew and got this response. “We will work to exceed your expectations!” They could have just said have a good flight but instead focused on being intentional to create an extraordinary experience. What a powerful life lesson. Every day you get an opportunity to deliver your “average” and your “expected” level of engagement or you can be intentional to exceed your effort and create a new potential. It’s an opportunity and a choice. Life lesson: Be the Exceed! Create New Possibilities! Thank you to the crew of flight SQ709 for an amazing experience delivering service excellence! What areas in your life, career, or interactions with others are you intentional to “Be the Exceed!?” #KaplanMobray #KeynoteSpeaker #InternationalSpeaker #Motivation #ExcellenceIsAChoice #HighPerformance #CareerGrowth #Leadership #PerformanceExcellence #PersonalBranding #MentalHealth #ChangeManagement #Diversity #Inclusion #BusinessGrowth #EmotionalResilience #GrowthMindset #Innovation #CMP #EventProfs #Energy #SpeakerBureau #MeetingPlanners #The10KsofPersonalBranding

👏 A fantastic bit of feedback for the British Airways Speedbird-Z Connectr platform! This is a great example of the impact of creating a dedicated space for early talent, with the ability for two-way interactions with mentors and self-led exploration of the company - it builds a strong emotional connection between talent and employer. "Being able to connect with mentors has allowed me to have a more in-depth view regarding what I need to do to get to where I want to be, which has proved to be invaluable in opening my mind to the potential scholarships and opportunities there are to enrich and further my career preparation. The “opportunities” part of the platform is very accessible and great for keeping you up to date with what is going on and the potential opportunities available to you. The modules provide you with a general overview into the morals and stance British Airways has as a company, as well as advice and guidance. Overall, I’d say the Speedbird-Z platform is invaluable for widening and broadening your minds to both the company and the opportunities you can take to develop your skill-sets." #EarlyTalent #CandidateExperience #TalentPooling

"Imagine stepping onto a plane, Clueless about where the buttons are, Let alone how to navigate turbulence. That's how I felt entering the travel industry, fresh-faced and wide-eyed. Amadeus was my flight school, And let me tell you, the instructors were rockstars. They didn't just hand me a manual and point to the cockpit; They strapped me in, explained every gauge, And even let me take the joystick for a spin (with a watchful eye, of course). Remember that first time you aced a presentation, Or cracked a complex client issue? At Amadeus , those victories were high-fives all around. My mentors weren't just there to point out flaws; They celebrated every baby step, Fueling my confidence with every "well done" And "that's exactly what I was thinking!" I had mentors like JOKE ADEYEMI But it wasn't all sunshine and lollipops. They pushed me outside my comfort zone, Like that time I had to present to the company General Manager, Yann Gilbert (My palms still sweat at the memory!). But guess what? I nailed it. And that "I-can-do-anything" feeling? That's a souvenir I still carry with me today. Of course, no mentorship is perfect. Sometimes, the lessons were tough cookies But yes, that's how you build resilience, right? Like learning to land a plane in crosswinds – Bumpy, but you come out a smoother pilot. So, to all the aspiring travel industry rockstars out there, Here's the boarding pass to success: Find awesome mentors, embrace the turbulence, and never stop exploring. The skies are waiting, and with the right guidance, you can soar. Now, it's your turn! Share your industry mentorship stories in the comments below. Let's celebrate the amazing humans who help us find our wings! #TravelIndustryMentorship #AmadeusRocks #GratefulForMyFlightCrew PS. Don't forget to like, share or repost if this resonated with you!

🌍✨ Exploring Gambia: A Journey of Learning and Growth with Austrian Airlines AIRcelerate Program ✨🌍 Over a transformative 6-week period, two groups of 3 Austrian Airlines dual studentes embarked on a profound volunteering expedition in the heart of Gambia as part of the AIRcelerate Program. Their mission was multifaceted: to engage in cultural exchange, impart fundamental business skills, and foster personal development through stepping beyond comfort zones.  What ensued was a testament to the power of collaboration and immersion. They shared insights on entrepreneurship and business planning while soaking in the rich tapestry of Gambian culture.  Each challenge they encountered became a catalyst for growth, strengthening their adaptability and resilience. They cultivated deeper understandings of intercultural cooperation and formed enduring friendships that transcended borders.  In hindsight, they realized that their journey to teach had transformed into a profound lesson in learning. Gambia's warmth, resilience, and cultural richness left an indelible mark on their professional and personal lives. Also, for the local trainees the impact was palpable. Through the dedicated efforts of the volunteers, they gained valuable insights and skills that will shape their futures. Beyond business knowledge, the exchange sparked aspirations, instilled confidence, and cultivated enduring friendships. Over the last years the volunteering cooperation between the trainingcenter in Ballingho, Austrian Airlines and help alliance has become a cornerstone of empowerment and collaboration, with each year building upon the last. Together, we are forging pathways to a brighter future, one filled with mutual respect, understanding, and shared growth.  Here's to the transformative power of volunteering, cultural exchange, and the pursuit of knowledge. 🤝💼 #VolunteeringAbroad #CulturalExchange #PersonalDevelopment
