Leadership and Influence Seminar
The leadership guru, John C. Maxwell once said, “Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” Tosin Arowojolu, another certified leadership coach who happen to be trained and greatly influenced by Maxwell, came to speak at the Leadership and Influence Seminar organised by the IEEE UOB Student Branch at the University of Bahrain on the 22nd of December, 2015. What was fruitful about the seminar was the fact that it was an interactive session with the attendees; attendees being a number of respected faculty members and students, whom this seminar was very advantageous to. The seminar was very effective, with attendees taking personality tests, setting goals on paper, asking questions and realising that great potential lies within them with every minute passing. The seminar proved to be successful when faculty members and students approached Tosin towards the end of the event asking her, and the organisers, to have more of such events and talks that tend to be skill-improving. It was pleasant getting such feedback as it is one of IEEE’s concrete goals: building leadership skills and increasing effectiveness to be a part of a better, and bigger change everyday.
