WISTA to host Karen for transformative leadership keynote

In a rapidly evolving world marked by technological advancements, geopolitical uncertainties, shifting customer expectations and significant workplace transformations, the need for transformative leadership has never been more critical. 

The Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA) Sri Lanka, celebrating its 10th anniversary, is set to address these pressing challenges with a significant event titled ‘Charting the Course of Success in a Disruptive World.’ 

Scheduled for August 13, 2024, at Oak Room, Cinnamon Grand Colombo, this event features esteemed Karen Leong, a globally recognised thought leader in sustainable transformation.

Leong, known for her profound insights and practical strategies, is Managing Director of Influence Solutions, an award-winning organisational development company based in Singapore. Her extensive experience in guiding companies through complex changes has earned her the title of ‘The Most Influential Leader in Training and Development in APAC.’ 

In her keynote, Leong is set to deliver actionable strategies and skills to help individuals and organisations thrive amidst uncertainty, fostering innovation and building resilience.

The key highlights of Leong’s presentation will include leadership strategies in a transformative era, fostering innovation, building strategic resilience and securing long-term success. These topics are designed to help leaders adapt swiftly to market shifts and disruptions while maintaining clarity and balance, cultivate a dynamic culture of creativity and transform failures into growth opportunities.

As Leong aptly describes, “In Sri Lanka, leaders exhibit a remarkable blend of resilience and adaptability, skillfully balancing traditional values with modern business practices. In a rapidly evolving economic landscape influenced by global trends, leaders can harness opportunities to ensure a trajectory of innovation and growth. This keynote will provide tailored strategies to navigate these complexities and lead your organisation to new heights.”

WISTA President Sri Lanka and Shermans Logistics Director/CEO Diruni Chanmugam said, “Since WISTA is celebrating 10 years of presence in Sri Lanka, we realised that it’s time to give back something of value to the corporates and employees across all industries, not limited to a particular gender, even though WISTA is a women-led organisation in the shipping and logistics sectors.”
