LJUBLJANA MBA Award for Best student 2019: Benjamin Brulc

“Although my standards remained the same “being the best as I can be”, I am seeing it through a broader, long-term perspective now”

My motive for joining LJUBLJANA MBA programme, was to grow, advance and broaden my horizon, whereas not too dramatically disrupt my private and professional life.

I did grow, I grew as a person and I grew as a leader.

Running a multinational team, multiple high priority deadlines, airports, travels, lack of sleep was not easy if you consider having a family and doing an MBA at the same time. But the whole journey made me stronger because when you fight through these obligations you grew so much more at the same time.

One of the biggest impacts on my development were the courses that have sharpened my soft skills and the ones that helped me empowered and activate myself to continuously improve and grow as a human being and helped me to lead even better.

The network I have built over these two years with my peers and professors at SEB already enriched me and will continue to do so.

Now that I have finished the Ljubljana MBA programme, I am much more self-aware, and I do self-reflect more often than in the past. Thanks to the numerous self-reflection moments throughout this programme, I got to better know myself, my strongholds, but even more my areas where I continue to work on improvements. And although my standards remained the same “being the best as I can be”, I am seeing it through a broader, long-term perspective now.
