It was extremely well attended with 57 people at the course, well above expectations for our first such event. Entitled “Managing Yourself,” the program was the first of three standalone one-day events in the series, all led by Dr Brian To. The second event, to be held IAG launches Strategic Leadership Series on Wednesday June 29 at Banyan Tree Macau, will be “Managing Others” and the last event in the series will be “Managing Organizations.” Participants need not have attended prior events in the series to attend later ones. The entire proceeds of the event were donated to a beneficiary charity, the Simply Share Foundation (simplyshare.org ), a non-profit organization devoted to fighting hunger and undernutrition, especially in children, in the most vulnerable populations of the Philippines. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our good friends at Banyan Tree Macau, who were kind enough to be venue sponsors providing not only a perfect MICE space for the course, but delicious refreshments throughout the day. Thanks also go to our Diamond Sponsors, Dragon 7 (ezbaccarat.com ), and our gold sponsors, the World Green Organization (thewgo.org) . And many thanks to our lucky door prize sponsor, PREM1ER Bar & Lounge in Macau, who provided a beautiful bottle of Legend of Kremlin Super Premium Russian Vodka – the official vodka to the Russian Parliament!
