Ruzi Rani Ajith, Senior Vice President, Institutional Sales - CIMB Investment Bank, MalaysiaThis training has given me a different perspective of leadership as it is integrated with coaching and I think it is very vital for being the new leader. The trainer provided the insights of coaching and leadership which was very relevant in giving the edge to stay competitive. I think that this is a training that leaders should not miss out because it would give them a very strong competitive edge against competitors. If they want to be number one, they should have this kind of knowledge. Keith has given a different perspective about coaching and leading and it is very practical and relates to the current world.
