XpertLearning hosted its second CEO event of the year at the Emirates Golf Club yesterday. Attended by 30 C-Level executives, we explored what makes a Leader successful and the challenges currently faced by some of the leading organizations in the UAE. Synergies between learning golf and leadership learning were made. Paul Michael Gledhill Co-Founder and Executive Director hosted the event said:
“The event logistics worked out really well, it was great to hear the pro golf teachers connecting the classroom sessions to their golf instruction using terms like teamwork leadership and goals. The whole staff at EGF worked tirelessly to ensure the ambiance both on and off the course was relaxed and consummate with an innovative learning experience. A special thanks to our guest speaker Mark Gregson Walters coach to players on the Asian and European tour and founder of Grass Roots Golf UAE who connected our Executive leadership sessions with relative advice for learning golf.”
Here are comments from some of the participants:
“The event was a fantastic initiative as it managed to strike that delicate balance between insight and learnings, and a fun, social experience. Even for non-golfers such as myself, it was thoroughly enjoyable as there was great camaraderie among the participants. Consequently it was also a great environment for networking.”
Jason Leavy, Managing Director Dabo & Co
“Thanks again for the event yesterday. Interesting, good fun, and a great group of people.”
Jonathan Hall, Managing Director Mulverhill Associates
“I would like to thank you for inviting me to your event yesterday. It was entertaining, enjoyable, well organized and the most important thing for me; I took two valuable lessons (not Golf related) with me.”
Manfred Steichler, General Manager Creativo
“The event was extremely engaging from a number of perspectives. The chance to network with the peers in my field is always beneficial and something I need to do more of. The Executive Education offerings gave me an opportunity to reflect on the latest topics with industry leaders and the unique approach of partnering with Golf Dubai was very interesting and above all, a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next one!”
Brett Preston, General Manager – Group Learning & Development at Al-Futtaim Group
“It was nice meeting everyone at the Leadership and Golf seminar yesterday we had some great interactive discussions, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by our members from the CEO UAE club. We look forward to more of these innovative ideas for networking and education.”
Tariq A. Nizami, CEO of CEO-Clubs UAE
“Just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to be there for your great event and meet so many nice people and get the opportunity to network. The short presentation also was very good and not to mention the exercises you made us perform. Wish you much success with your future endeavours. The golf lessons too were great. Thanks for having me over.”
