As someone who predominantly relied on logical reasoning, I appreciated the opportunity to explore the value of emotions and vulnerability. Even in the corporate world, humility and openness matter. The program equipped me with a broader toolkit, instilling confidence to tackle any challenge while maintaining honesty and ethical standards. What surprised me most about the experience was the highly engaging and interactive setting. Unlike traditional lecture-driven programs, this one encouraged open discussions, practical application of new concepts, and active participation. The unique ‘teamwork feeling’ among all participants made it truly memorable. I wholeheartedly endorse this program for anyone poised to embark on a journey of personal and professional growth.
