We would like to congratulate Ms Natalja Sunevica, Member of Wista Norway for successfully completing her ICS Foundation Diploma. Ms Sunevica was one of our scholarship recipients in the academic year 2019 – 2020.
Here is what she had to say:
“It could feel rather challenging and overwhelming to proceed with the studies parallel to work and private life. Do not get discouraged: one thing at a time will get you there. Make sure you follow the study plan provided by WISTA. With this you will have a consistent workflow and a good time for exam preparations. Make use of the tutors and make sure to submit all the assignments (or at least as much as possible) - tutors provide you with a valuable feedback and give good tips / practical examples…”

We hope you all have a Happy 2021 so far!
Let's make this a year of good collaboration and "pay it forward" mentality where we all help each other succeed as best we can:-)
WISTA received an email from a young woman who has moved from Germany to Norway (due to her husband’s job) and who is struggling to get a job in shipping as she has no network here.
Juliana Broockmann is her name and she has experience as Assistant Fleet Management, a degree in B.Sc. in Maritime Economics and Port Management, and several years of experience in Office Management and Accounting.
She is primarily looking to work within Technical Ship Management, within Purchasing or QHSE, but she is open to roles as Management Assistant, Accountant or basically any area in the Maritime Industry in Norway where she could contribute. She’s also happy to start with an Internship first, with chances for a long-term employment later.
Check out her LinkedIn profile and please get in touch with her if you know of any opportunities:

An awareness of non-verbal communication and body language is incredibly important in work settings, especially for women. You’ve probably heard that projecting confidence through your body language is as important as what you are actually saying when you’re pitching a potential client, or trying to get colleagues to buy-into a new project of yours. But how do you get that across in a digital sphere? Catch some tips here, to make sure you project your capability and assertiveness also on the next Teams meeting! #bodylanguage #virtualmeetings

You all always bring such an incredible, professional, world class "stage" to your events! BRAVO!
During WISTA Norway ’s joint event with Wallenius Wilhelmsen this morning, Kimberly Lein-Mathisen (GM Microsoft Norway) spoke about the importance for an organization to have a ‘Growth Mindset’ – moving from ‘know it all’ to ‘learn it all’ – which is so important for a shipping industry learning how to adapt to new demands on technology and sustainable practices.
Want to learn more about how we can foster a ‘growth mindset’ and build a culture of continuous learning both in our organizations, families and ourselves? Start by checking out this Ted Talk by Carol Dweck, the Stanford professor who popularized this way of thinking. #growthmindset
