Leaders to Leaders is truely an inspiring amazing experience, like I must say I have been in many programs around the world, but this one is different. It is disruptive, it is innovative. Every workshop is different, is dynamic and is active. Learning is huge, it is a significant experience for every young person who wishes to become a significant and impactful leader in the community.

What has been specifically amazing for me has been dealing with different students, who have different dreams, desires, solutions that they want to work on, startups, ideas. Sharing my journey with them has been absolutely amazing, and also seeing how smart and intelligent the students of Hong Kong are. It has completely changed my view on what the future is going to be, if this is the kind of people who are going to be leading us tomorrow, then I think we are in for a treat.
