Coming from a classical academic environment of one-way teaching, it was refreshing to discover how interactive the GLOBIS classes were. It was a huge added value.

Francesco Damis

GLOBIS helped me achieve personal and professional goals by helping me understand that not only can we look at problems from different perspectives , but we can also take action from those alternative perspectives, even when they don’t feel comfortable because they are outside your comfort zone or just not the way you usually do things.

Francesco Caggiati

While the hard skills I gained were invaluable and a key reason for pursuing the MBA, the most profound impact came from developing my kokorozashi—a personal mission. The program pushed me to articulate a clear purpose, complete with actionable steps, timelines, and contingency plans to bring it to life.

Roberta Mikailionyte Kataoka

Many MBA programs felt too focused on profit, numbers, and self-interest. I wanted something more—a program that combined practical learning with the opportunity to explore and define a deeper mission. GLOBIS’s emphasis on kokorozashi, which centers on aligning your unique purpose with a meaningful contribution to society, really resonated with me.

Sales Manager, Lithuania

All the courses were impactful in their own way, depending on the type of impact I was looking for in my life and career. (...) The knowledge and skills I gained during the MBA continue to shape my career, even as I’ve transitioned into a completely different role.

An MBA is simply a tool, and having one is not a guaranteed path to success. However, if you’re willing to invest time and effort into networking and focusing on the outcomes you want, it can help you achieve great things. GLOBIS is an excellent choice if you’re looking for interactive and practical classes rather than traditional lecture-style learning.
