Closing Remarks
From Shyam and Kavitha
Dear Aryae, Prasad & All
Thank you for the session. It was indeed a unique session to hear view points. Our key take aways:
Smart to Wise (connecting the dots)
Wise to Wiser (taking along NOT JUST YOU /Others to enable Mindful Decisions)
To represent this in a more graphical view (perspectives shift – mediated learning) created a small image. Please feel free to use this / share it as you like. (Image details – The image is of a jellyfish taken recently at a Hong Honk aquarium and its world in the water which it shares its world super-imposed with thoughts discussed).
Thank you all.
Regards,
Shyam and Kavitha
