Second module of NXG Bulgaria Academy
From 24 to 26 June 2016 in our sea capital Varna, took place the second module of the Academy NxG Bulgaria accompanied by a lot of summer and sea mood
The initiative of FBN - Bulgaria is for the representatives of the next generation and aims to create a community of young people united by the values of the family business. About 20 representatives of the next generation took part in the event.
The main topic of the module was: "NXG's work in the family business".
The hosts of the event were Hotel Aqua, owned by the Valevi family (Aquatec), and LZ Yachting (Bratoevi family). United around the belief that one of the most useful and valuable things for the next generation is the experience shared by its predecessors, Atanas Simeonov (current President of the Association and owner of EU Group International) and Valentin Valev (Aquatec) shared their experience on the topics:
"The Challenges of Living and Working with a Loved One in the Family Business" and "How to Overcome Lack of Experience and Uncertainty in Entering the NXG Business." As a result - in addition to the shared personal experience, the lecturers gave quite valuable advice and guidance together with an interesting and emotional discussion on the topics.
In the afternoon, the members of the LZ Yachting Association, represented by the Bratoevi family, presented an interesting overview of the activities, development, and history of the company, which has existed for more than 20 years and offers a full range of products and services related to sales, maintenance, leasing, rental, organization, and participation in sports events in the field of yachting. The second generation of the family is already quite active and successful in running the business and obviously shares a passion for sailing and yachting.
"Sailing Adventure" was the experience that LZ Yachting offered to all participants, and in which we saw how things happen in practice. Divided into two teams with 2 sailing yachts, everyone took part in an of team-building, during which, in addition to adrenaline, stories of sea adventures, laughter, sea excitement, and headwind, it became clear that to be a true sailor requires, first of all, a strong stomach and last but not least - a lot of courage, teamwork and quick and adequate reaction.
To close the event, the hosts chose the restaurant "La Veranda", where united, full of positive emotions and a little wiser, the representatives of the next generation enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and delicious food.
Among the participating NXG - members were representatives of Aquatec, Ataro Klima, LZ yachting, Grifid Hotels, MIT, Gugushev & Partners, GED, and others.
