The first day journey in recognizing their values and acknowledging their strengths, and also embracing some aspects of the self that haven’t been developed and making friends with the facts and reality of the self. The workshop was facilitated by Wayan and Philip. There were moments when the participants got caught up emotionally but recovered very fast in deep realization that their lives have prepared them to be a unique leader and in remembering their core values inside them help to reclaim their power of making choices.
