T

he Leadership Treasure Discovery by PrePearl

(India Region representatives for Belbin UK), in

association with THE TEENAGER TODAY, held

the first-ever session in Chennai on 22 June 2019.

Ten young adults engaged in a day of interaction,

discovery and exploration. They came in from all

over Chennai and left as friends as they embark upon

realizing their potential, purpose and making a mark

in society.

Here’s what some of the participants have to say

about their experience:

“I’ve learnt that even the skills that I have make a huge

impact to society. A wonderful programme with a lot of

interactive sessions which boosts me up and encourages

me to explore more of myself and what I can contribute.

This is for sure an internal ability discovery programme.

Fun-filled as well as interactive.”

— Karen Bastian

“Woaah, everything we learned today was useful.

I’ve understood really more about myself.”

— S. Prerna

“The entire session was very useful. I feel very lucky

to have been part of such a session. Thank you.”

— Subhiksha Srikanth

“Bringing in the parents into the discovery

programme was very valuable.”

— Ansfred Shree

“It was quite a unique experience where I got

to interact with the other participants, enact role-

plays with them and embark on a discovery toward

realising our strengths. What I found most useful was

realising my purpose by writing it down finally. The

mock interview was very stimulating.”

— Joseph Xavier Roy

From the participants’ parents...

“It was a good opportunity for our child to evaluate

his perception about himself and also see the

perspective of others about him. It has helped us to

see both of them combined and most importantly has

helped our child and us to see the strengths, talents

he has been gifted with and to strengthen them

further to bear good fruits for himself and the society.

Though we do have parent-child discussions about

God’s purpose and talents that need to be identified

and put to work and use, this programme and the

discussion we had has helped our son to identify and

verbalise the same. This has been very satisfying.”

— F. J Sequiera

“The discussion was very useful. Probably this was

the first-ever planned and structured discussion. We

will continue to support in his development.”
