During the seminar, I also learned how small businesses are different in Germany. I learned about the power of employees as they get to sit on the board of business; they have a voice and a vote. I heard about the differences between West and East Germany and the ramifications of the fall of the Berlin Wall to culture, society, and business. We visited many companies and got an inside view of what Germany is prioritizing as the leading country in the EU. The risks of coming across the Ocean to learn, see, taste, and experience all of this for myself was worth every doubt that had crossed my mind.
