There could be no other place to be present at than this district
conference on the weekend.
It was the day of district level Evaluation Speech Contest,
but before unfolding of the contest the Keynote speaker Mr. Dilip Narayan Wagh
(SrDabbawala) unfolded the secrets of Dabbawals of mumbai.
125 years of serving with the precision level of 99.99%,
SrDabbawala shared the working process of their service in Mumbai. The
classical Six Sigma Study by Forbes Group was explained by ease and simplicity
by the keynote speaker.
Then the awaited contest stroked: Evaluation speech contest.
6 evaluators evaluating a single target speaker with the very famous CRC
approach made it look like sweet poison killing of the target speaker.
The keynote speaker DrHimanshuRai held a session on “Ethical
Leadership“from Mahabharata to Future Bharata in which he shared his views on
the history of Indian leadership.
He defined Leadership by stating “Leadership is a process by
which a person influences others to complete an objective.”
He explained that Morality and Ethics are not interchangeable
terms and Good and Bad is different from Right and Wrong.
Something to take away from his interactive eyebrow rising
session was FIRE. He ordered to develop FIRE within which is F: Fortitude, IR:
Introspective Reflections and E: Equanimity.

Speaker, The World Champion of Public Speaking 2015: Mohammed Al Qahtani was finally
on stage greeted by the thundering applause as he was all set to begin his

jotting and captivation. He taught us to face our fear, start our journey by
saying- it’s never too late and keep going and keep chasing our Bucket list.
