Leadership Skill and Career Building Seminar

At last, after what we’ve worked for so hard, the past few weeks turned in to a reality. PPMIP (Indonesian Students Association in the Philippines) Makati and Manila Chapter presented the Leadership Skill and Career Building seminar yesterday, Sunday, April 9 2006 @ the Indonesian Embassy in Manila. The head Coordinator of the seminar was Aditya Prakoso (Tyo). The committee consisted of 20 of us, a coalition of Makati and Manila chapter members. I, myself was assigned to be the public relation officer of the seminar. I guess that’s what a communication student does.

The seminar was attended by Prof. Irsan Tandjung, the Ambassador of Indonesia for the republic of the Philippines. Mr. Mahmudin, the Attaché of Education and Cultural Affairs of Indonesian Embassy and around 100+ participants also joined the seminar. The participants consist of mainly Indonesian Students from all PPMIP chapters, namely: Makati, Manila, Quezon City, Tagaytay, Silang, Los Banos, and Baguio. Attendees were also Homestaffs of the Indonesian Embassy, and also some Filipino invitees. The seminar was free and participants got free snack, lunch and a certificate. It started at 9am and ended up 4pm. It went pretty smooth and I am definite that this seminar enlightened all of us on how to be a good leader and how to do career management. I’m personally impressed with the 2nd speaker, Nicasio F. Rollan III for his lecture about Leadership.
