13th IPSF APRO Leaders in Training (LIT) was held on 19/8/14 to 22/8/14 at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus. A training program which prepare the participants in leadership skills in addition to various soft skills which would be relevant in their practice as a pharmacy students leader. A total of 14 participants from Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Republic of Korea and Malaysia participated this event.
The distinguished trainers are David Cechlovsky, Chairman of Professional Development from International Pharmaceutical Students' Federation (IPSF) and James White, Secretary from Asia Pacific Regional Office Regional Working Group (APRO-RWG).
Various topics including communication, project management, email writing, and pitching were discussed and tips to improve these aspects were also shared on order to allow the participants to become a better leader who can perform more effectively.
A highlighted session of this program was the "Impromptu Theatre" where the participants were required to act and speak spontaneously on the stage. It acts as a perfect platform for participants to overcome the fear of speaking in front of crowd and learn to convert ideas generated spontaneously into verbal expression. Aside of that, some of the participants were able to enhance their act with humor, making it a night full of laughter.
Another unforgettable and fruitful experience was when the participants had to "endure" a simulated pitching session. They were required to pitch their project for sponsorship to the "sponsors" acted by the trainers and APRO-RWG. Not only that, they were also be questioned by the "sponsors" with provocative and critical questions.
All in all, it is definitely a rewarding experience not only for the participants but also the Reception Committee.
Editor's Notes:
A big thanks to the trainers and ARPO-RWG for being helpful and cooperative throughout the program. Thumbs up for the participants as well, your performance throughout the training was really impressive and inspiring! We glad to be a host for you all.
