The purpose of the ’AmCham Career School’ series is to provide an opportunity for young, medium-level managers of AmCham member companies to learn directly from top business executives, and other well-known, successful people. The focus is on how they achieved their success and what advice they would offer to our future leaders in their career development.

Through the series we would like to build a strong relationship with the young top talents of our member companies and also provide a platform for senior leaders to meet the new generation, so that both parties can benefit from this opportunity in the long run as well.

 

The first series we initiated last year was very successful. The second series and the third series were also fully booked and now are pleased to announce that the series will continue in February.

 

For the spring 2011 series we have the following guests speakers:

  • February 1: Ági Pataki, former Model and Producer, Filmpartners Kft. (confirmed) (in Hungarian)
  • April 4: László Drajkó, General Manager of Microsoft Hungary (confirmed) (in Hungarian)

  • May 3: Dezső Matyi, Owner of Alexandra Kiadó (confirmed) (confirmed)

  • June 7:  Linda Jensen, CEO of HBO (confirmed) (in English)

We plan to have five monthly sessions, each is a 90 minute moderated, interactive discussion with a maximum of twenty participants in the late afternoon hours in the new AmCham office.

Topics:

  • Useful tips and ideas to become a successful manager
  • 'How did I achieve it?' Personal insights from top leaders
  • Competencies companies expect from (Sales, Marketing, PR, Government Relations, IT, etc.) managers
  • Challenges young managers have to face

Depending on the participants, the courses will be held either in English or in Hungarian.
