Graduated at Harvard and #Connext2026

Honestly, if someone had told me 10 years ago that I would be in the USA and graduating from Harvard Business School, I would have thought they were crazy. ☺️

But here is the reality, I have graduated at Harvard Business School, because I have just finished Credential of Leadership Impact and Management Course in the last 1 academic year 2025-2026, and here I stand in Boston (MA), in the USA in front of the Baker Library at Harvard. 🇺🇸

During on the last year, me and other 90-100 learner explored various CLIMB Courses topics including, - obligatory courses, like Organizational Leadership, Dynamic Teaming, Leading the Digital World, Lead with Finance, AI Essentials, Personal Branding and two elective courses, mine were the Strategy Execution and Winning with Digital Platforms. We engaged in live case studies, collaborated with fellow leaders from around the globe, and analyzed different perspectives.

Here are some reasons why this program is an excellent choice:

• Flexible scheduling options based on your availability, whether in the morning, daily, or evenings

• Structured calendars monitored week by week on a special platform

• Learning through real-world examples from CEOs, CFOs, and CIOs

• Top-notch content from Harvard professors that isn't typically found in MBA programs, we learned through life examples.

• Opportunities to join vibrant communities both online and in-person through global community events

• A yearly invitation to Harvard for the annual Connext event to Boston (MA)

At Connext you can build meaningful and valuable connections, with classmates coming not just from CLIMB, but from other programs too. You can participate Harvard Professors led case study discussions, and you can feel the professional education, energy, and rational what is behind Harvard.

Connext is a great yearly event, when Harvard Business School's Online marketing Team is organizing a 3 days event about the an actual topic. Navigating the Now 2026 was the 10th yearly event about the AI, where the topic was truly discovered by Professors, quest lecturers and hold interesting presentations. In the meantime you can build connections, having lunch, dinner in different places at Harvard. So you can explore the different Harvard's history buildings, the library, the chapel, Aldrich Hall, Spangler Center, Klarman Hall, Chao Center, and maybe the tunnels under the buildings too.

Cambridge is a true university area (MIT, Harvard, Boston University), so if you would be inspired to participate and even go to Boston (MA), you can enjoy the Charles River, with never ending rowers, runners, walkers.

I recommend not just to visit Boston, but keep learning, stay curious, strive for excellence and motivate others around you. Harvard is the cherry on the top of the cake, but it's always your choice - something would be better or worse - depends always on You!

God Bless you,
