The seminar gathers youth from local and abroad to allow them to discover and rediscover the leadership qualities they had in them besides urging them to create a positive impact to the society.

It brought together top-notch businessmen from successful corporate companies such as MSC Malaysia, Microsoft Malaysia, Ernst & Young, Accenture, Danone Dumex, Standard Chartered and Proctor and Gamble (P&G) to engage with the participants in exploring topics such as innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership and corporate responsibility.
The Global Village on the other hand, was an event where one could ‘travel’ around various countries in a night. There were a lot of cultural interactions and showcasing of customs and traditions of other nations. Breaking the barriers of geographic boundaries, the assortment and multiplicity of numerous places were demonstrated through a variety of booths and cultural performances.
All in all, it was a memorable week for many as they were inspired and motivated to reach for the skies. MyLDS was a perfect platform to develop leadership skills, teamwork and confidence besides improving one’s networking. For those who missed it this year, look out for it next year!
