26 February 2013 www.bahrainthismonth.com happeningsthismonth This month affords us the opportunity to examine ourselves and discover that leadership is within the grasp of each and every one of us. Dr Deepak Chopra, a renowned specialist in the field of human empowerment, will help us unlock our creative instincts and leadership potential at a one-day event on February 27. His ‘Soul of Leadership’ seminar teaches participants how to prepare for and take on the role of a leader. It is ideal for toplevel executives, young entrepreneurs and those looking to fasttrack their careers. “We hope this seminar will encourage and develop in people the desire to take on responsibilities not just at the workplace but also in their daily lives,” says Nigel Viegas, director of Bahrain Institute of Hospitality and Retail (BIHR), the event organiser. “Dr Chopra aims to cultivate those who will go on to become leaders in their respective fields. The programme takes concepts out of the box, so to speak, and into the real world, and in the process allows participants to realise their own potential.” The seminar will focus on the top ten fundamental principles that determine the characteristics seen in all great leaders. There is no ‘magic wand’, just some simple truths that have stood the test of time. “We trust that the younger attendees will use the information to become better leaders and contribute to the Kingdom’s growth in line with Vision 2030,” adds Nigel. “The seminar also offers organisations a chance to reward their employees and to motivate them to be more successful in their careers.” Taking a leadership role in any environment, whether at home or in the workplace, requires a conscious effort to do so. While it may be natural to some, we all have the capacity to lead. Inspire Yourself to Lead Dr Deepak Chopra When? February 27 | Event? Leadership seminar | Venue? Crowne Plaza Bahrain Hotel “The conscious decision to step out and become a leader is an important one for any person. While some might fail, many others succeed in their endeavour,” says Dr Chopra. “A successful leader easily garners the respect of those around them, pays attention to others, is a good listener, is aware of others’ needs and can create action plans for others to follow.” Realising your own potential means you can unlock the same in those around you; they will naturally turn to you for guidance and direction. “Only someone who can find wisdom in the midst of chaos will be remembered as a great leader,” adds Dr Chopra. “Wisdom is a single spark that permeates a whole forest. If the leader is willing to be that spark, others will see it in them. Seeking direction, they will value what a leader offers, which in turn lights the spark within themselves.” E Call 36 048-699 or 39 986-580. Emerging as a leader
