Chapter 1: Germany

After relocating to Germany in 2012, I started learning the German language and I got to the level of B1.

Since I come from Mechanical Engineering Bachelor and work background, I would need to have technical German skills to get the same level of job in Germany.

I would have to be writing emails and documents and I did not feel comfortable using the language just yet.

To be fluent in technical German it would take me years. I wouldn’t stop my career for that. At that time I had 11 years of experience. Instead of facing the language barrier I decided to do my MBA in English there.

---

I considered Germany my vacation after 11 years of work experience.

---

Studying again was definitely something refreshing. I like reading and I finally had time for it! Frankly, it was the first time having time to do something for myself other than work.

If you are looking for making a break from a work routine - go back to studies, an MBA in Germany was the right choice for me! I could stay, I could come back. It’s all about the choices you make.

---

About my MBA studies in short: I was not getting a degree. I was getting the knowledge. I kept focusing on reading these mandatory books. Just for the thesis only, I read 8 books within 2 months. In my MBA group, we were around 25, including 3 senior students. The other students were much younger. Everyone from different countries and ages – it was easy to integrate.

The international community was so interesting for us: Albania, Bulgaria, India, Palestine, Egypt, USA, China, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Germany, Ukraine, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, most of them were from Russia 😊

You cannot find such a cool mix everywhere, since Germany is in a very strong geographical position as the middle of the world, I got to know those cultures and how to deal with them. I had to adapt and so did they. It was a nice experience.

Coming to Germany I was sure that an MBA would be easy with my 11 years of experience. I was wrong! I was happy to know I don’t know everything.

“Education is learning what you didn’t even know you didn’t know. ”

— Daniel J. Boorstin

I was very satisfied with the program, because I learnt many new things from the professors. Case studies, books, exams, and professors – all helped me in my future job promotions. To give you an example, in my current company Marketing team backs us up. I never before had the marketing experience. Same story with the Accounting department. I wouldn’t be able to manage that. Oh, I totally forgot the Sales team! All from the case studies and professors.

---

You do not become an expert in all after MBA but you can manage various teams after MBA.

---

Things I did not like in Germany:

· Language barrier - I could not convey messages easily.

· Limited availability of schools – I had to choose what was available. No consultant helped me. Now probably there are many more school options to choose from.

· Separation of the garbage and other things to get used to which is like a parallel universe for someone from Lebanon.

· Doing things yourself – here, in Lebanon we have people helping with households for everything. You can hire someone (cheap labour).

---

In Germany we are cheap labour. DIY – Do it yourself! Haha

---

Germany was a very nice stop for me. Why? MBA title and international experience definitely helped me on my way to success. Yes, it was just a stop. The degree is there but then there is your effort for the result that you have. My aim was always my career and here is where my life took me next!

Chapter 2: Dubai & Lebanon

I got what I had been looking for. I read all the books. I finished my thesis within 2 months because I was working day & night to finish it before graduation when my colleagues didn’t even start. But an invitation from Dubai for a better job has been waiting for me already…

I’m not so young to make immature decisions, you know. I have a family.

The company was offering me an upgrade in Dubai and I had to choose an unsure future in Germany or Dubai and I chose the UAE. Germany is a dream country for people who are hungry for education or job who do not have a family yet. For those who have a family please come to Lebanon or the UAE 😊

I left Germany right after graduating from the MBA International Business program to Dubai with my wife and my son.

---

A few years later, I found a better job in my home country Lebanon but my wife and my son stayed in Dubai. Ironically, I returned to the same company I was working for before moving to Germany. I am involved in manufacturing business. I came back to the same company, but not the same position, now I am operations manager in a multinational company with 10,000 employees.

In 2018 we got a baby girl and I could not travel anymore weekly or bi-weekly to Dubai back and forth and I moved my whole family to Lebanon.

Home is where you are from.

Currently, we plan to stay in Lebanon. For sure, in the future, I will look for an executive MBA in the top Lebanese school so that it is around the corner. I will move further in my career.

I live where I want to live. I work where I want to work. I have my family nearby and I would say I am happy. Are you? If not, you know where to start now 😉

Chapter 3: Advice For Mature MBA Students

1. Looking back now, would I study in UAE or Lebanon instead of Germany?

No. We have top MBA programs in my country or in the UAE as well. But 95% of nationalities there will be from the same country. The global classroom is what makes the difference.

2. Do not aim for aiming a degree, aim for knowledge!

Consider an MBA as the bridge from the past to the future. And if you work hard and study hard MBA directs you. But its all in your hands if you succeed further.

3. I think nowadays if you want to succeed and to move in your career, MBA is a must. It is not anymore an option.

Engineers, hear me out!!!

Even if you are a doctor or you come from any other field, you should have an MBA.

In my company, accounting & sales departments are reporting to me. With a mechanical engineering degree, that would never happen. I got more responsibilities, I learnt how to manage my teams. Mechanical Engineers can be in charge of the department. But you have no influence on Marketing & expansion of the company. As a manufacturing engineer, you manage technical people.

Yes, the Mechanical Engineering Bachelor degree basis is amazing. But be ready to be back to school to take your career to the new level. Different parts of the company functions are being learnt in a short period of time within 1- 1.5 year time and that is exactly what you need.

4. Do people need an MBA or can they learn it on YouTube?

They can. But they will never have interactions with colleagues from all cultures.

I would not advise online programs. The result will never be the same. Cherish the human interactions: the spontaneous and impulsive teamwork decisions and the difference in management styles and risk facing/avoiding styles. How business is done in all the other countries: isn’t that all incredibly interesting?

5. For students with 10 years of work experience, I would recommend learning German before doing anything else.

Or choose a school that provides German language lessons! In Lebanon, we speak Arabic French and English. German is an advantage but then with the French language, I could work my way around in France. On the contrary, Germany is an excellent country. I wish more universities would offer free German language lessons for all enrolled international students.

6. If you want to study in Germany in English it is easy.

But make sure to parallel learn the German language. If you speak German and English with 10 years of work experience you will have no problems absolutely finding a very top-ranked position in a company in Europe.

---

If looking back now I would be offered a job in Dubai and in Germany at the same time, I would stay in Germany. The language was the only barrier.

Ok. I stop now. The nostalgic moments nearly made me cry. Greetings to all my classmates from the class of the MBA. We made it!

Kelly McCready - MBA Student From The USA

“Thanks to Germany, I found out that an MBA gives you a competitive advantage, especially MBA from abroad.” Read Kelly’s story here!

Place of Birth	Denver, USA
Nationality	American
Where did you live?	Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania (USA)
Education Level Prior to Relocation	Bachelor Degree
Reason of moving to Germany	Adventures, MBA
When did you move?	2012
How old were you?	25
Are you still in Germany?	No
What is your future goal?	I will be CEO
Where would you like to live?	Pittsburgh, my home!

Chapter 1: Bachelor

I was born in Denver, Colorado. My mother is originally from Pittsburgh hence when I was 3 years old we moved back to Pittsburgh. Up until now, I have nearly been everywhere in the USA! Our country is so big and rich in things to see that I could keep on discovering it all my life.

As a teenager, I was an above-average high school student and dreamt of going to Ivy League school. I was very active in sports: soccer, cross-country tracking & horseback riding. I did pretty well in college, but I was more focused on work and life and did not focus on grades. I did not make it to the Ivy League but anyway I wanted to leave Pittsburgh and experience something different, so I got admission at the University of Colorado which actually I loved at the end!

My first job was not what I wanted to do. I finished college in 2008 and it started to go into recession in the USA and I panicked last minute and tried to convince parents to stay longer in the college for 1 year. They persuaded me to graduate. All my friends had jobs and I did not focus on that. Luckily I got an internship with the university. I did not like the cold calling from the donations but some things I did enjoy.

I decided to take the job because it was the least amount of change. I could be on campus, instead of class I was going to work to the same comfort zone. This way I extended my stay in the college.

I left a year later to work in Florida. I did not enjoy living there but I got the job I enjoyed. The first job after university, I wouldn’t know what to apply for so I had to take what was available. I wanted to do events for non-profit companies I would love that. I was also working on the side of a restaurant job. Through connections, I got to know a medical device company and that’s how I landed in my dream job.

Unluckily, with the full recession in the USA, not many opportunities to find jobs were available and it felt like the right time to go out of the country and experience something new.

Chapter 2: MBA

I am from the USA. Why did I decide to move? Because I never studied abroad when I did my undergrad and there is so much of the world I haven’t seen yet, I was 25 and I didn’t want to waste any more time and I thought I would move to Germany.

I wanted to learn and to speak another language. It was the best way. Luckily I learnt it in school so I would have the base.

My family and friends in the USA do not travel abroad much. I would advise future generations to do so.

---

I thought it was important to experience different cultures in business and in life to be successful in business and life consequently.

---

My first impression? I arrived a day before Oktoberfest. It was amazing. It felt like a relaxed culture, I made great friends quickly and it was a festival season so it was great.

After a couple of weeks I decided to take a GMAT, I studied for 1 month but unfortunately didn’t score well. I am not a good test taker. I applied to schools that do not require GMAT and I found a place at a private business school in Munich and I got in for my MBA. Interesting how the thought of doing an MBA never came across my mind back in the USA. That’s what happens when you travel – you get inspired!

I loved:

· That we had students from all parts of the world with the perspectives on the way the business is running in the different parts of the world and the way how our education is different.

· To have a thesis, which we did not have in the USA for my Bachelor's. I wrote my MBA thesis about the Ritz Carlton and the effects it has on the economy (where they decide to build hotels). Some sectors and income go up or not. In conclusion, I realized that real estate prices go up with the rest of the points remaining at constant. If you would like to read my thesis, hit me up!

· Sales class. I didn’t expect that. I haven’t worked directly in sales. I liked the professor I thought he was smart and his perspective was very interesting. I loved it! That course made total sense.

· The international marketing class.

· That my school was small with the people I could meet daily, recognize, know names of and become friends with.

· That the administration was accessible.

My MBA program was 1 year, I wasn’t really invested in a longer-term program, I wanted to come back for my career.

I travelled a lot! To Spain, to the Czech Republic and around Germany! I wanted to see the world and I got a lot of confidence doing MBA and paying for it myself. Every country has its own flavor and I found Germany to be very livable. But all good things come to an end and when my year in Germany was over I came back to the USA.

---

I realized pretty quickly as much as I was enjoying the experience I missed America.

---

Refrigerators being big enough, having a car and driving everywhere, peanut butter! My mom was sending me rice crispies and mac’n’cheese.

It wasn’t so much that, one of the things in the USA that I really value is that our world in the USA is big. We are still American 2000 miles away. In Europe, everything is so close. You cross Germany within 20 hours drive. In the USA in 20 hours you get not that far. If you calculate where I have been in the USA it is so much bigger than all of Europe. In one country we have all cultures and nationalities.

Thanks to Germany, I found out that an MBA gives you a competitive advantage, especially MBA from abroad. I did not know how my MBA would influence my applications but I realized it was easier to get a job with it.

---

As a female too, but my MBA contributed to me getting more call backs and a higher salary (by a lot).

---

In the Interviews I was curiously asked about Germany, Europe, MBA abroad, my interviewers were very curious. In a way a competitive advantage. People want to ask questions. It is good to stand out. I think education from Europe helped my CV stand out and arouse curiosity

Now I am in Pittsburgh now I am home. I feel good here. Would I move? Probably not. But everything still has a price, if the CEO position is offered at any part of the world with a big wage gap to my current standing, I’d move.

Chapter 3: CEO

Work never seemed to be a burden to me. I like to work, I like the satisfaction I get from working.

My career is very important to me.

Yes, there are hard days but then it doesn’t usually seem so hard to me.

I started working early and the reason for that was my passion.

To be able to afford horseback riding you have to spend a ton of money and time.

My parents asked me to pay at least half of my expenses for keeping a horse.

---

This is my way to becoming a CEO. What is yours?

I got my first job when I was 14

As soon as I could drive I got a job at a mall.

When I was in middle school I had business as a clown

I would go to churches and do tricks with animals and balloons.

I did university jobs, fundraising jobs for non-for-profit organizations and I worked on a side in the restaurant until I secured my first dream job in Florida

My first full-time job was there I was doing medical device sales. It is then when I started developing my passion for a certain job type and industry. I travelled a lot between 6 labs in the country. I was looking into the markets where we could develop. It was rather marketing than a sales job.

I felt like doing an MBA was the right thing at that moment

After MBA the first job you get will be influenced by your MBA. Any job after or any employer after will no longer look at your MBA but rather at your recent work experience.

MBA sometimes is a minimum requirement for the big corporations to filter out people when screening. Well, it is not the kind of company I want to work for anyway. I like small to mid-size enterprises because you as a personality and as a team member you have more contribution and decision making. I like to be able to participate. Your job and role are bigger.

I applied for technology companies project/coordination management jobs in Washington and I successfully got in.

In the same company, I moved up the ladder from product to sales management and then pure sales.

Buying my own horse was an achievement

I have been striving for it for my whole life. My first horse I bought before I turned 30.

Afterwards I did sales consulting for 6 months (freelancing) and product management consulting for education and technology firms

I got very lucky because I had this job offer due to my network.

The company I currently work for is Danish (Area9), I work fully remotely (from home) and I do sales, well I am very shy but I am VP of sales to be precise 😊

I absolutely love my job and how much we contribute to the future of people.

We sell education software to corporations that focus mostly on military and healthcare sectors (adaptive learning). I travel so much. I have almost 100.000 miles a year (160.000 km). I have a lot of benefits – free bags, first-class, miles to use for my personal trips, lounges and many others.

Working from home is the same as going to the office but the main difference: I can wear my pajamas (haha). I do the same routine, I do my coffee, I work from 8 to 5. I believe people working from home can be more productive due to fewer distractions. It is helpful to be in an office sometimes as well to come over and ask questions at the desk.

The majority of salespeople are in Europe, mainly Denmark, we are handling the sales team in the USA here remotely. I attend a lot of conferences, fairs and client meetings hence the travel. We have weekly Monday morning cross-country meetings with the whole team to see where we stand.

---

Next step: CEO

Dear recruiters, I am accepting the CEO offers from the education space. I found my passion for this industry. Companies are the ones who benefit the most from all of us investing in education. It is time they start investing in all of us. In 30 years many jobs won’t exist anymore, jobs change all the time, technology is changing we need new skills and we should educate people. Companies should participate in upskilling people.

Maybe in the company where I work now, maybe I will start my own. Up until now, I was gathering experience in technology, implementation, customer services, sales. I want to learn more skills and combine it all together to be the Chief Executive officer.

---

In my free time when I do not focus on becoming a CEO, I travel and I ride my horse a few times a week and participate in fox hunting. I cook and do my own stylish interior design. Once or twice a year I do adventurous trips to Bali, Holland, Ireland, Germany, Russia.

Go abroad! But only if you will get something out of it. Don’t just go abroad. I wish I had a little bit more of a plan. Just try.

There are no wrong decisions. There are only the choices you didn’t make.

Chapter 1: My monolingual childhood

I grew up in an absolutely monolingual environment where I only heard the Russian language. My relatives come from Belarus and St. Petersburg and I grew up in a city called Perm.

Integration, moving, relocating, changing a country – terms which were not new for my family.

Now it is easy for me, I moved a few times already. But I know how it felt: all the stories I heard in childhood. It is not easy. Moving abroad you have to do what it takes. And to better prepare your children you need to start early enough.

I always had a feeling I do not belong in Russia. I was craving more languages, more knowledge, more travels, and completely new experiences! I felt like I should discover the world and, thankfully my parents took me to trips around Russia and Europe from back then when I was a toddler!

I experienced all of that when I was a child, when people first face it at 20-30 years old they have an opinion already about many things, and it is much more different.

Parents would give me challenges. They didn’t speak the language so they made me translate everywhere through resistance. That’s why I was forced to learn English on my own.

- “Maria go check this shirt and ask them if they have a different color and size and different collar type”

- “How do I do that when I don’t speak English that well?”

---

Challenge accepted…

These challenges I hated so much back then but thanks to that I learnt the language.

---

I knew what I liked since then. I was never bored and I knew I would connect my life with languages. I always followed my dreams and since my intuition never fails me… the only question was: where do I move? Trial and error!

• At 12 years old I had my first cultural shock. Like when we were around Scandinavia: people from other nationalities, people wearing funky clothes, open-minded people.

I started thinking that I could belong there perhaps? Could I live abroad and could I live with the Europeans? When I was 12-14 years old I was totally in love with Denmark and Sweden and I was sure my future would be connected with the Nordics.

• But then I also loved Spanish language and I did professional Latin American dancing and I also would imagine myself somewhere in Latin America?!

I was actively attending the Latin American dancing all my life and I also listened to Spanish music - my soul spoke Spanish!

I planned that when I would finish my 5 Year Specialist Degree (Russian system back then) I would do the 2-3 months backpacking trip across Latin America. I was slowly reaching my goal: earning money, finishing studies, learning the language & working.

• What I also did: I travelled every summer for the language & volunteering camps in Portugal, Italy, and Spain.

I earned enough money to travel 1 month to Italy and lived with an Italian family, where no one spoke any other language than Italian. I lived in Liguria in the North next to the sea. I started speaking in 1 week!!! It was an amazing experience.

I also did 2 volunteer projects 1 month each: Portugal (Evora, sports clubs & swimming pools promoting sports for children in rural areas) and Spain (Catalonian farm, Barcelona and I flew to Ibiza to have a look). What a cool experience!

I monitored the flights and bought the cheapest ones, earned money as much as I could and since volunteering organization gets your visa, I didn’t have to organize this. I met so many people from around the globe and practiced languages thanks to my volunteering trips!

I knew I would have to work with children and I wouldn’t allow myself to go to these countries without any language. I always made sure to make pen friends with the tandem app or website prior to my trips: this way I got a couch surfing host for Lisbon, got language practice and friends in that particular country before moving there.

When I managed small talk in each language I considered myself ready to go. The rest you can learn very quickly while being in the country with native speakers.

• I also worked in a start-up acquiring my journalism skills in Russia. Our aim was to connect students from all universities, we were publishing a newspaper and a magazine with all the current events for students. I was in charge of cooperation with student newspapers abroad.

---

Every time I had an opportunity to go abroad I took it! Carpe diem!

Looking back to my past now: all of that contributed to where I am today and I am very happy.

---

Chapter 2: Life will not happen as you have planned

I finished my studies in Russia and I was ready to go on my next adventure (relocating to Latin America, preferably Argentina or Chile).

But the universe had other plans. And in particular: a job offer! French company in Russia offered me a position using English/French/Russian languages. Since I had a translation and linguistic degree, it was perfect for me: to join a corporate world through my translation work experience. A good opportunity as well to earn enough money for my trip.

I notified them that I would take a sabbatical to travel for 2-3 months and I would let them know in advance when.

I saw a plane ticket Perm-Frankfurt-Rio de Janeiro a while after for less than 500 Euro and I booked it. Off I go, I thought! I was so sure I would go alone but little did I know…

In the meantime, two backpackers from Europe were travelling through Russia with the Trans Siberian train and asked a friend of mine for couch surfing booking. I was staying at my friend's house that day and without any plan, I ended up talking with this one German guy. 

---

That sounds like the beginning of a great romantic movie and it was!

Was it the love from first sight? I think so!

---

He would then come back to Russia afterwards again to get to know our culture better and to meet me again as well as my family. I was invited to move to Berlin right after but since my trip to Brazil was already booked, it wouldn’t work out. And he decided to follow me to Latin America! For 3 Months!

---

Some people say that you need to live together with someone to know their real selves. I tell you to travel for 3 months together to know their real selves.

---

Slums, crazy bus rides, heat, cold, stress, hostels, safe and unsafe surroundings, lack of money, food, no buses within 2 days – that is the best relationship check and we have been through everything together.

Sadly, all good things come to an end and so did our trip, when both of us moved back home after: to Russia and to Germany. We couldn’t imagine separating after and we started searching for German language lessons for me in Berlin. I wanted to speak the language of the person I love. I did attend them and learnt the language very fast in Germany after all because all my surroundings were German…

…but I moved to Germany for a different reason: David proposed to me over Skype! Call us crazy or call us a very modern family 😉

---

Did I say yes?

No

I said

“Ja, aber Hallo! Natürlich!”

---

To get a family reunion visa you need to pass A1 German and I learnt the language in 3 weeks.

Yay! 98/100! How? I was listening to the German radio and did German tests. Every day tried to talk to my fiance in German showing my skills over Skype.

I attended A2 language lessons in Berlin and after that, I realized it was sufficient. Only practice makes perfect now.

When you speak Russian, English, Spanish, French and you understand Italian and Portuguese… you learn languages at extreme speed and nothing is a challenge anymore. I dropped the course after and learnt by listening to my husband’s friends and family.

3 Months into living in Germany we decided that the language of our family will be German. We will talk German with each other so that our children understand that this is the language of the parents and this is where we are from. That’s when I started thinking about my children’s language acquisition and my business idea came up to my mind.

Chapter 3: My children’s multilingual future

We have been living in Berlin for 5 years but then my husband’s work took him to Munich.

I adore both cities they are incredibly different. I am very happy in Munich.

But then we are a very mobile and flexible family.

A good offer from Dubai or Armenia? We would move.

We were traveling in Australia and Asia for several weeks with a baby and road-tripping a lot in Europe.

I am happy to be surrounded by 5 languages because languages are alive when you are having daily practice.

---

First I wanted to fulfil my parents’ dreams but then

they became my own.

---

My grandfather and grandmother spoke Belarussian and Russian. My mother was very sad that she wouldn’t speak Belarussian.

Everything your parents give you in your childhood will highly contribute to your future. Dedicate learning languages and travelling to your child from start!

Multilingual life is my goal and my children will speak multiple languages to understand the world better. My children speak strictly Russian with me. They speak German to the father. They attend a French Kindergarten.

Many people ask me why not English? It is such an easy language, they will pick it up in school. I want them to think, dream, express themselves, read lyrics in both German and Russian as first priority. English will follow!

My children have 2 passports: German and Russian. We travel a lot around the world. We have just done a Portugal road trip with both of them, we flew to Singapore as well. There are no challenges for ambitious people!

---

Life doesn’t stop when you have children!

---

I combined self-integration into the country, children education, and language passion for my business.

I do language coaching for those parents who would like to raise children bilingual or multilingual. I am organizing seminars, workshops and private counselling locally and online. Because globalization is the future, there are a lot of mixed families, who often raise children in another country.

I started to build my community from the Russian newspaper in Berlin where I was a columnist writing on multilingual matters. I am in touch with journalists and bloggers in Europe, Russia and Asia to promote bilingual education for children.

---

---

I realized that the literature I read in English, German, French and Spanish  is very helpful for parents, but is not available for Russian – speakers hence I started translating articles and preparing Pinterest checklists, helpful books to raise children and started teaching Business Russian to professionals.

Which languages will your children speak depends only on you! On the parents. Children copy your behavior that’s why you need to promote languages on your own. Don’t wait for kindergarten or school, from an early age you can already contribute to their language development.

I am bringing parents locally together so they can exchange experience and speak of their children because there is no single language and there is no right approach. It is very unique and I love to hear the language stories.

Pay a visit to my website and tell me the language story of your family. I am happy to help!
