One such leadership development programme ‘Magnificence’ was conducted in partnership with the renowned, S.P.Jain’s Management and Research Center in Mumbai on 11th Oct 2015. Dr. Farida Virani was invited to speak on ‘Adversity Quotient’ where she deliberated upon the various tools and techniques to reveal how leaders at any level can transform difficult circumstances into opportunities for growth and success. Mr. Juzer Udaipuria a Lion member and a lawyer by profession, wrote in his feedback , “ you certainly added value to my time spend on a Sunday afternoon by providing valuable insights, in a structured manner, with many real life example to add to our understanding”.

The session concluded well with the participants agreeing to the profound thought, ‘Adversity does not test character; it actually reveals it’.
