Day 1 of the #EMBA at #HWZ Zurich was 🔥! We had the privilege of learning from Andreas Krafft, diving into the fascinating world of Swiss #FutureStudies 🌍🇨🇭. We explored different future scenarios, reflecting on how our mindset shapes the way we face uncertainties.
One of the highlights was our discussion on cognitive biases like #OptimismBias and #StatusQuoBias, which subtly influence our decisions. It’s easy to cling to the status quo or underestimate risks, but real change comes with bold thinking and embracing uncertainty 💡.
We also touched on #NewWork – something I’m passionate about at ZVV 🚆 with Hildegard Fischer. It’s clear that future thinking and new work models go hand in hand. Innovation isn’t just about ideas, it’s about putting them into action 🛠️.
But what really stuck with me was the deep dive into #Fear and #Hope. Krafft showed how these emotions can either drive us forward or hold us back. Fear keeps us stuck, but hope empowers us to act 🚀.
Today’s key takeaway? It’s not just about being optimistic – it’s about being hopeful. Hope isn’t blind optimism; it’s the belief that with the right steps, we can steer the future in a positive direction.
From now on, I’m not just an optimist – I’m a hopeful optimist ✨😎.
