“The Asialink Leaders Program was one of the most satisfying personal development programs I have participated in. The calibre of the speakers and diversity of content covered during the twelve month program was impressive. The speakers and group discussions challenged my notions on many aspects of Asian culture and business, and while building on my knowledge of North East Asia, also encouraged me to learn more about countries in the region that are not directly related to my current role in Government. The program also introduced me to a network of truly inspiring leaders and the Workplace Project has been put to use on a number of occasions. I would highly recommend this program to anyone with an interest in building their Asia capabilities.
