With the pressures of work, the constant demands for change, the delivery of results every day, it can be easy to forget about the people around us. Understanding people is as important as the product, the service and the delivery for which we are responsible in our careers.

This is the difference that makes the difference towards excellent leadership. This is Leading at the Edge – a unique set of training events recently organized by JCI Malta and delivered by the Scottish JCI international trainer, Ian R. Thomson.

JCI Malta is affiliated to JCI – an international organisation dedicated towards creating better leaders and entrepreneurs. These training events form part of JCI Malta’s continual dedication towards this mission. In fact, training focused on developing leadership skills and consisted of limited number of attendees making the sessions truly focused and intensive.

Mr Thomson is a high-profile trainer within JCI. He is an International Training Fellow and former JCI Scotland National President. Mr. Thomson is also a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro-linguistic Program) and the founder and Chief Executive of Leadership International Limited, a consultancy and training firm with a portfolio of international clients which include British Telecom, BskyB, Kuwait Petroleum and Qatar Petrochemical.

JCI Malta offered exclusive training events to its corporate partners and members as part of its training commitment towards them. Separate training events were held at JCI Malta’s corporate partner hotel, Corinthia San Gorg Hotel. Corporate partners who attended included HSBC Malta, KPMG Malta, Air Malta, Allied Newspapers Ltd., Vodafone Malta and Corinthia San Gorg Hotel.

Moreover, HSBC Malta and KPMG Malta, both JCI Malta’s platinum corporate partners, each opted to invite Mr Thomson to provide in-house training specifically for their employees.
