✈️ A Chance Encounter on a Plane Develops into a Partnership
How a 55-Minute Conversation Sparked a Growing Business Collaboration
In business, timing is everything—but sometimes, it’s the unexpected moments that carry the greatest potential.
During a flight to Glasgow, I sat next to who I got to know was the owner from Migsoft Ltd. We struck up a conversation. It wasn’t planned, scripted, or even particularly long—just 55 minutes of authentic exchange, curiosity, and mutual respect.
That’s all it took.
From Curiosity to Commitment
What stood out to me during our chat wasn’t just what Migsoft did, but how they thought. Their approach to transformation, systems thinking, and empowering change aligned deeply with the values we hold at MCFM Global Academy.
Shortly after, I joined one of Migsoft Academy’s Saturday morning courses—with a cohort from China. The session was insightful, sharp, and expertly delivered. I walked away not just with knowledge, but with a stronger sense of connection to Migsoft Academy’s mission.
One Workshop, One Meeting—and a Partnership Was Born
What followed was refreshingly simple.
We met.
We discussed.
We aligned.
The synergy between our organisations was obvious. Before long, we formalised a partnership that continues to grow stronger with every collaborative step.
Together, we’re exploring ways to integrate our expertise, support clients through transformation journeys, and build impactful learning experiences that go beyond the traditional.
Lessons in Serendipity
This experience is a reminder that opportunity doesn’t always knock—it sometimes sits next to you on a plane.
By remaining open, curious, and willing to follow through—even on a weekend—you never know where a single conversation might lead.
Here’s to the partnerships forged through chance, nurtured through action, and strengthened through shared purpose.
