Late post. Coffee with Rishad Tobaccowala and some leaders of Publicis Groupe Philippines, including Blackpencil leads, Cha and Kat, who have gone through Marcel Lab training sessions with him. We all can truly say we have learned a lot from this thought leader and wise man.

This write-up about him is so true:

“Rishad’s key skill is getting people to see, think and feel differently about how to grow themselves, their teams and their company. He does this by distilling 40 years of global learning and wisdom in ways that are provocative, pragmatic and inspirational. Discover why dozens of companies leverage Rishad to generate significant and ongoing ROI by unleashing the full potential of their talent and strategies.”
