As I speak, I am participating at the 3rd event from Train your Brain, in Cluj. With a few hours before a 6-hour drive to Bucharest, this is not what I need :).
The first part was a little bit intriguing, about this financial app, Beez. A fintech, with a little success in Romania. I can not say that it is a bad thing, not at all. Good for them for pursuing a dream that they got it working at the age of 32 - this is how old the CEO is.
But the approach of the credit score in RO got me a little bit angry. Of course, Beez is the main key speaker of the event - and the only one!!
A little publicity is nothing wrong, but saying that Beez is giving away free money to its users it's too much. Saying also that every bank in RO is hustling Romanians with credit card fees or with personal loans that have traps for the clients... this is a No No in business.
The Q&A session was saved by the bell, by the moderator telling us that we have to get lunch :)) So, the Q&A was a little riot between the audience and the speaker. Every time the truth is out there, somewhere in the middle but everyone is fighting for his truth.
After lunch, we got into the real stuff to debate...wait!
Did I say debate, not really, the situation is the same as at every event like this? There is this guy that learned managing/leadership things in the U.S. in the last 20 years....actually I think that he studied managing in the U.S. 20 years ago!!!! See what I did here, in the last 20 years vs 20 years ago :) - I have to stop explaining myself :))
With a salesman background, he acts like he knows everything about leadership and developing managing strategies.
He has one flip chart he writes on - so 20 years ago-, he has one PowerPoint file on the screen - again, so 20 years ago, and the same speech you hear at another 20 events like this in 6 months time.
I hope I will not fall asleep until 5 PM or better, I will take my laptop and just leave the premises. I thought that Cluj can learn me something new regarding leadership models, but no.
Still, Cluj, don't worry, I am not mad at you :)))
