SEALA 5 – DAY 4, PART 1
Another beautiful, hot, tropical day has dawned in Kalutara...
... not that anybody could ever guess it from the freezing temperatures in the ballroom. Notwithstanding the physical climate, however, the spiritual climate of SEALA remains warm and toasty.
The Participant Forum continues with organizational stories and audience feedback. Hands up, Rashad! He has surrendered to Farzana's charisma and eloquence.
Karna describes challenges and opportunities he faces staffing his organization with Generation Y (Millennials). He reaches out to other leaders with similar experiences.
Never undervalue the head of an electricity company! Umar reminds the room of the power he wields, and the responsibility he bears, by turning off the ballroom lights: literally! (And – crucially – then by turning them on again.)
Paulette Pidcock is looking forward to today's guest speaker.
SEALA staff have thoughtfully provided Michael Kouly with a comfortable, puffy leather chair.
Chandika Wickramatillake takes the microphone and the initiative. Chandika has something to say – unlike certain other people in the room.
Yen advances the group conversation with fresh thoughts of his own.
Asif injects some characteristic humor into the proceedings...
Amit has perked up!
Kumudini holds her head up high.
We all need our quiet time sometimes. But really, does no one have anything else to say?
When in doubt what to do next, there is always the default option of getting together to perform the hokey cokey: You put your right hand in, you take your right hand out... and you shake it all about...
In the subsequent debrief of the session, Gayani takes Michael to task for his poor behavior towards his audience. Michael has certainly cranked up the heat in the room. He is restructuring our perceptions and twisting our minds –
Bolat can't take it any more!
Coming up this evening: The SEALA 5 Cultural Exchange!
