In line with Sohar International’s thought-provoking leadership initiatives, its much-anticipated virtual Viewpoints event in its 7th edition will be live-streamed via Zoom on September 15 starting from 7:30 pm. The upcoming edition which is open for all to register for through the bank’s website will host George De Lama, a prominent American journalist and President of Eisenhower Fellowships, bringing forth insights and learnings from his personal experiences spanning across his illustrious career under the title "The Coin of the Realm". Anyone interested can register for the upcoming virtual session free of cost simply by visiting Sohar International’s website (www.soharinternational.com) or the bank’s official social media pages and follow the registration post/link.

With experts from different industries sharing their experiences, knowledge and ideas with a cross-section of Omani society, Viewpoint – Sohar international Chairman’s Forum aims to connect the local community with inspirational leaders from around the world.  The upcoming session, titled ‘The Coin of the Realm’, is De Lama’s take on managing challenges, unforeseen circumstances, and conquering ambitions, by conquering over one’s mind and thoughts. His teachings lay emphasis on managing the most difficult situations through control over the realm of your thoughts.

A first-of-its-kind forum, Sohar International encourages everyone in the industry to attend the event to make the most of a truly inspirational session that highlights important life lessons. Drawing from personal experiences, our prized speaker, George De Lama, will be focusing on how adopting simple changes to our mindset can also change our circumstances. By spearheading initiatives such as these, Sohar International seeks to positively impact the local community and its people. As accustomed, Viewpoints will give individuals the exposure to quality global knowledge and freedom to engage in conversation with acclaimed international personalities.

A virtual event that is open to all, registration for the upcoming session is free of cost. Interested individuals can visit Sohar International’s website (www.soharinternational.com) or the bank’s official social media pages and follow the registration post/link. With a focus on promoting interaction, participants of the virtual event can join the discussion by typing their questions in the designated Q & A box displayed on the users’ screens.

Knowledge sharing events like the Viewpoints also help shape the economy especially with the government’s support towards SMEs and the growing number of skilled youth joining the national workforce. Targeting the local workforce, it offers talented individuals who are eager to work, a better understanding of the local and international markets, valuable insights into the global economy and the opportunities and challenges it presents, as well as the knowledge to implement various self-development techniques.

Giving participants the chance to ask questions is a key feature of the event. As opposed to merely attending seminars, the virtual Viewpoints sessions seek to address the concerns and curiosities of the keen minds by dedicating a separate time for interactions. Increased interaction and engagement promote a better understanding of key concepts and fosters the right environment to generate new ideas. It also helps in the development of interpersonal skills and problem-solving capabilities that are imperative at any workplace. By encouraging participants to voice their opinions, the session becomes more engaging, productive and dynamic. Sohar International has always been at the forefront of promoting creative ideas and will continue to lead the way as an innovative bank that focuses on growing with the community.
