We caught up with the winner of the first RARE Scholarship for our Executive MBA, Austrailian producer and director, Emma Morris. As a fierce supporter of diversity in her own work, Emma believes that empowering diverse content makers "behind the screen" is the best way to tell authentic stories that resonate accross the spectrum of Australian viewers. 

Earlier this year, award-winning Latvian designer Edgars Zvirgzdins became the winner of the first Berlin School Open Scholarship for our Executive MBA in Creative Leadership. We spoke to him about the importance of treating design as essestial and not an addition to strategy, and his vision for creating great design teams that challenge one-another.

On a recent Asia Module, The Berlin School was honored to be joined by Rev. Ichido Uchida, Director of Kojirin Zen Training Center. He reflected on the meditative art of Zazen and advised on how keeping a calm state of mind and continuously observing ones actions and emotions can be integrated into modern life, both as leaders and in our personal growth.

Week-one of the Berlin School Asia Module sees participants exploring the hyper-connected business world of Shanghai. Read some of their insights and learnings as they begin to unpack the seemingly contradicting philosophies that influence leadership culture in one of the rapidly expanding innovation hubs in the world.
