NETWORKING MEETING WITH A FOCUS ON COLLABORATION
On 31 January, a networking meeting for Stena’s assistants and secretaries was held in Gothenburg. The aim of the meeting was – as always – to learn something new, get to know each other and exchange experiences for smoother collaboration in everyday work.
After beginning with a coffee break, it was time for the day’s lectures. Robert Almström, Contract Manager at Stena RoRo, shared with us the very interesting Baltiysky case. What was initially a good business relationship between the shipyard Baltiysky Zavod JSC in St. Petersburg and Stena finally came to an end 12 years later, via numerous legal bodies and arbitration, in favour of Stena. One of the lessons from this lecture was perseverance pays.
After dinner, we listened to Anders Hansen’s lecture Brain Power. Anders is a physician and psychiatrist and he talked about the latest research on how exercise directly affects our brain’s functions and our health. When we exercise, we handle stress better, our memory improves, we become more creative and intelligent and feel better. Anders gave concrete tips on how to exercise in order to achieve the positive effects.
“Having the opportunity to meet and get to know each other is very useful. The two lectures were also very interesting and instructive and the participants responded very positively”, says Jeanette Johansson, CEO Secretary, Stena AB.
