WiT Community Blog: Julian Jost, co-founder & CEO, Spacebase

With
our marketplace at a standstill, some of us coming out of lockdown and some of us
nonetheless confined to dwelling, this is our blog for you – it’s a way to share tales
inside our local community, to kind solidarity and foster a perception of belonging.

Preventing tooth and nail in Berlin 

With Berlin in lockdown, our staff is
doing the job from dwelling, and I have travelled again to Cologne. It’s a odd time for
everybody, all of us improper-footed by the unexpected transform of occasions throughout the world.
As business journey shuts down and people do the job from dwelling, our bookings have
certainly taken a strike.

 In the limited-expression, I’m battling tooth and nail for Spacebase. Together with our entire community of bookers, space providers and partners, we’re locating solutions. It’s a course of action, like everything, and it normally takes endurance and creativeness, but we’re coming up with new approaches, concepts and test out each individual angle we can occur up with and we have a powerful determined staff to set them into motion.

 Now is not the time to allow up, for me
it’s the time to hold pushing. So we hold in contact, we do firm-vast calls
each individual morning and on Fridays, we nonetheless hold out soon after do the job for an on-line beer.
We’re a resilient bunch and we hold just about every other laughing.

 Although the foreseeable future is uncertain, I’m also working with the time to imagine strategically about exactly where we require to be in six months, in just one 12 months. What will the business journey and MICE marketplace glance like put up-corona? If conduct will change then we require to be far-sighted sufficient to recognise this and stay agile, so we fulfill new demands and build new prospects. Obtaining clarity, earning progress and supplying steering to everybody close to in the course of the uncertainty is what helps me individually to stay on prime and mentally healthful.

The enthusiasm matter: Resilience 

 Travel is about getting ways into the
unfamiliar and exploring a little something inspiring together the way – exposing your self
to new adventures breaking with your very own previous habits. You just can’t know how it will
transform out in progress. It’s terrifying but it’s the enthusiasm for the unfamiliar and the
adventure to split rules and make a little something new that got me into setting up my
very own business, and I want to hold harnessing that to carry change to the MICE
and business journey industries.

I imagine now is the time far more than at any time
to rethink what we have been carrying out so far but what I am studying in the course of
these times as effectively is: Resilience is equally critical and it’s the
interactions and partnerships that you make throughout the a long time that’ll get you
by these times. I’m passionate to not allow those down and help out exactly where
attainable so we all get by this.
