What role does mentorship play in the development of innovation, inspiration, and success in our shared future ? Find out in this fireside chat with Ulrich (Uli) Schmid-​Maybach, President of the Maybach Foundation, hosted by Kaila Colbin, co-​founder of Boma Global and founder of Boma New Zealand.

If Uli’s great-​grandfather, Wilhelm Maybach, hadn’t received the right guidance from Gottlieb Daimler, he may never have invented the internal combustion engine, creating the disruptive ‘mobility revolution’ and laying the foundation for the modern automobile. Mercedes and the world of transportation which we know would not exist.

This is the difference right guidance brings — and why Uli dedicates his time to creating opportunities for the mentorship of talented individuals facing adversities.

Kaila and Uli will discuss the important role that mentorship plays in the development of innovation, inspiration, and success in our shared future — primarily based on the iconic case-​study of Wilhelm & Karl Maybach’s illustrious careers, as well as the Maybach Foundation’s ongoing work.

About Boma

Boma is a global network of local partners offering transformational learning experiences so that, in a world of dramatic and continuous change, we can be more intentional and intelligent about the future.

The roots of the word “Boma” date back to Africa — the cradle of humankind — and lie in the languages spoken in the African Great Lakes. The Boma was a circular enclosure for the community and elders to gather, normally built out of branches. It was a sacred space for community gatherings and meaningful discussions to be had, space where decisions were made, and actions were taken.
