    T. R. (Corporate Strategy)

    “To be honest, I had not heard of this term systems thinking before. System thinking can help us not just with our thoughts and our professional life, but help us make the connection with spirituality. I can understand that it is a way of changing our thought process in all aspects of life. Hopefully, I’ll learn about it more and try to try to implement it in my professional and personal lives. Thank you for introducing me to this subject. You have done an excellent job in communicating very complex ideas in the simplest ways possible.”

    “Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us at this presentation. Apart from everything else that you do, you’re an excellent teacher. You have the patience to explain to people like you would to a four-year old, which I think is a tremendous ability because what you are essentially trying to do is simplify complexity. So great job done! I really enjoyed spending this time and lots of learning. Thank you very much”
