You won’t believe what these Lofters look like now
I know that I am not alone in sharing that these past four weeks have gone by quicker than anyone could have imagined. I recall when I first learned that I would embark on this journey, I spent a lot of time reading the Week 4 blog posts of the last Havas Lofts class. With that in mind, this is what my co-lofters and I want to tell you — the next class — about this opportunity.

Three words to describe the experience: Far, motivating, inspiring
Favourite moment: The first day because there was so much to discover
Biggest challenge: Learning new processes, in a new agency, in another language
What I wish I’d done differently: Plan a trip for a few weeks — before of after
Advice for next class: Take advantage of each moment!
Raquel Roca, Havas Media, Barcelona
Three words to describe the experience: Unforgettable, inspirational (in terms of leadership and vision) and desirable (in terms of talent recruitment and team motivation)
Favorite moment: The first day when they showed me my desk for the next 4 weeks, next to the Havas Media CEO!!!

What I wish I’d done differently: Fully embrace the lighter workload/headspace
Advice for next class: Find comfort in getting away from your desk. Introduce yourself to everyone and shadow all possible disciplines (even if it’s not relevant to your position at home) for a holistic perspective
Me!
