The Essentials

with Sohail Zindani

An online weekend seminar for people who care about the work they do and the people they serve.

Why we need it?

Traditionally, the world tends to focus on activities that can be measured. This includes sales numbers, a point in graph, increment, reach, etc. This continued in the Covid Era as we dedicated our energies looking at numbers like rise in poverty, decline in growth, number of causalities, etc.

Perhaps, it’s time to focus on elements that cannot be measured so precisely or can’t be easily associated to a number or a score.

Perhaps it’s time to focus on the skills that matter.

Perhaps it’s time to focus on The Essentials.

The Essentials is a movement to create community of leaders who see that it’s possible to create more value, be more generous, act more courageously, drive more change and do work that we’re proud of.

Is it a good time to invest on Yourself?

Short answer: Yes.

And the answer is NO if you think you can order one meal in this amount.

But we understand that the times are tough and for too many of us, times have not been very kind. We’re running this live online event now because we think one of the most important things we can do to contribute is to help people learn and lead. We will be running more sessions in future, and you may consider joining us in later sessions once you have the feedback of those who attended this time. We understand that not everyone dares to step in first and that is OK.

As seats are limited and there are loads of preparation pre-event, no cancelations will be entertained. Be sure before you register. Replacements are welcome until four days before the event.
