Maravilhosa is returning to the events scene this week with a facilitated brainstorming gathering various industries and generations. The event is an audience discussion aimed at generating ideas and concepts for participants to develop and bring them to the level of implementation.
Hosted by Cyprus Marine Club at the Londa in Limassol on Tuesday evening, the first brainstorming event will debate “Are we encouraging Passion and Creativity in our workplaces?”
“Throughout my advisory work, I meet inspirational experts who share stories and challenges pertaining to the shipping industry. Therefore, I decided to create a platform to inspire the young generation of shipping professionals,” said Muriel Matta, HR Advisor and Facilitator.
“As of 2016, I organised and moderated a yearly panel discussion, “Shipping: an industry of Passion, Knowledge and Experience”, which enabled shipping professionals and industry experts to share their experience and learning path, exchange thoughts with local and international shipping personalities and have a dialogue with the upcoming young generation.
“As a result of the growing panel discussion audience for three years, I decided to create a new initiative to develop the panel discussion into an interactive and practical Brainstorming Series,” she said.
The three main topics of the event will be education and career path in the workplace, government and public affairs, and charity and corporate social responsibility.
The speakers are Shipping Deputy Minister Natasa Pilides, Capt. Eberhard Koch (Chairman, CEO and Partner, Oesterreichischer Lloyd Shipping), Andreas Chrysostomou (CEO, Marine Fields Holdings and Chief Strategy Officer, Tototheo Maritime), Thrasos Tsangarides (Group CEO, UMAR|WSR), and Taleen Tchalikian (HR Director, Celestyal Cruises).
“It is our aim and ambition that participants undertake to continue working on these ideas, in the interim period until the next brainstorming session, in a few months,” Matta said.
“The event will help participants develop their professional life, personal growth and social skills, through interaction and networking, during and after the brainstorming session.”
“In other words, we want to empower participants to manage constructive conversations and be open to different views and opinions, essential attributes that are required in today’s business and operations,” Matta concluded.
The event is sponsored by ÖL Shipping Group, Cyprus Marine Club, Cyprus Osmium-Institute (Gold Sponsors), Multimarine Services (Silver Sponsor), Vassiliko Cement Works, Tototheo Maritime, UMAR|WSR, Celestyal Cruises, Puzzle Group, ATPI Marine & Energy, Pivotal Step, Hellenic Bank, Frederick University (Bronze Sponsors).
