The objective of this webinar was to bring awareness about the importance of emotional intelligence and leadership skills for students. The speaker Shalini Balan beautifully shared her point of view on the mental health and brought in science & technology, sensitized them and increased scientific awareness among the students. The fact that around 450 million people are currently suffering from such mental illness worldwide had a great impact on the listeners and reminded them of how serious one’s mental health is. After that, the speaker spoke about the leadership skills one should possess in order to become a good leader. It was a very helpful session for young minds who seek to develop their leadership skills too. At the end of the session we had Q&A session. Overall it was a fun and interactive session with a certified counselor.
