Dr. KESAVAN A R Senior Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon Gleneagles Global Health City, Chennai ----------------------------- Dear Lt. Gen. Arun, At the outset, let me express my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful session that you conducted for our associates titled Life…& Leadership on 30th September as a Grand Finale of our Learning Month 2020. Your session was attended by close to 400 associates from all across India and has emerged as one of the top sessions delivered by any speaker. There were many extraordinary features that made your session a truly brilliant learning opportunity for our associates and it would be difficult to capture all. But some of the differentiators that specifically stood out were the unique combination of powerful concepts, presented in a grounded style that made the session not only interesting and valuable but also very practical and actionable by our associates. The richness of content that you had combined in your session drawing from various sources like Management Theories, Leadership Literature, Practical Tools, and most importantly personal examples backed by a rich and fulfilling career in the Armed Forces. Your passion and infectious energy that transcended the barriers of webcams, laptop screens, internet, and connected straight with the entire audience making it a personal experience for each of the participants. Most importantly, the phenomenal amount of preparation that you had put in to create the right context for the session which made everyone feel that you possibly knew more about our company, its history, and its strategy more than most of the employees. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in all my career, I have not yet seen this level of preparation and customization that you had built into your session. It was not only valuable for the participants but also served as a benchmark for Learning professionals like me and my team. On behalf of the HCCB Family, I would like to pass on our heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable gift that we have received from you. It was indeed a pleasure and a privilege.
