World-renowned leadership expert and CEO coach, Robin Sharma, today hosted his well-travelled seminar, "Lead Without A Title" at Abu Dhabi's Emirates Palace, his first public engagement in the capital.
More than 800 of the region's sharpest business minds attended the event, ranging from government officials and GCC business leaders to leadership students from the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) and Zayed University.
After the event Robin Sharma commented: "What a pleasure to be here in Abu Dhabi sharing the "Lead Without A Title" message with business leaders from the region. I so appreciate the audience for their energy and engagement. I'm also so pleased to see so many young faces at the event as they are clearly our future leaders. I can't wait for my next visit."
For over 15 years Sharma has been the go-to man when big business has needed a leadership consultant. His client-list boasts leading organisations such as Nike, Microsoft, Panasonic, FedEx, GE, IBM, BP, Yale University and NASA.
The key-note speaker's 11 bestselling titles on leadership have been published in 60 countries and Sharma is one of the most widely read leadership experts.
The half-day seminar in Abu Dhabi was based on Sharma's latest work "Lead Without A Title™ - Winning Leadership Lessons to Build a Great Organization" and aimed at helping leaders achieve their highest potential despite today's challenging economic and business climate.
Mr Ramzi Charaf, CEO of presenting sponsor Vontobel Bank, stated: "We are very pleased to have partnered with such a successful and important event. Robin Sharma is truly an inspiration to so many business leaders and individuals across the world and we hope that his seminar has motivated and encouraged the members of the UAE's business community to become world class leaders too."
The event was organized by Scott & Scandi, a UAE-based agency focused on educational, cultural and sporting events, in collaboration with Innoverto. Carrie McNeill, Managing Partner at Scott & Scandi, commented: "Scott & Scandi's mission is to create platforms and event for the community that give back to the individual citizen and by that contribute to the overall development of the nation. I think the fact that so many turned out to hear Robin today really shows the region's appetite to develop absolute best business practice and I hope we have helped spread some seeds and motivation to help people make a difference in both their personal lives and their professional careers."
