Kuwait Financial Centre “Markaz” has successfully wrapped up its internal employee seminar aimed at encouraging staff to adopt ways of thinking that bring consistent advancement and improvement. Entitled ‘Growth Mindset Energizer,’ the seminar brought staff together from across all of Markaz’s business areas to learn about the skills necessary to develop an optimistic outlook on life and work. Participants learned how to identify the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset, how to overcome setbacks, and the long-term benefits of adopting and practicing positivity.
The seminar took place at the Chairman’s Club and was led by Mr. Hamza Taqi, Founder and Chief Excitement Officer for the Knowledge Consulting Company. Mr. Taqi, who is an Accredited ATD Master Trainer, spent the session sharing both practical and theoretical methods with Markaz’s team members. With a career stretching more than 30 years in the banking, telecom and talent development sector, Mr. Taqi has worked alongside several noteworthy multinational brands including Visa, Nokia, MasterCard and Disney. Through a range of informative and highly engaging activities, employees were presented with a variety of ways to build, develop, and practice habits that growth depends on.
“We were honoured and appreciative to have Mr. Hamza Taqi guide our end-of-the-year energizer session and help cultivate growth mindsets within Markaz,” commented Peter Kelly, Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Markaz. “The intention of the event was to help team members gain awareness about the ways to foster growth in Markaz, amongst their colleagues and, most importantly, within themselves, to reflect Markaz’s dedication to strengthening our leadership and performance capabilities. All in all, the ‘Growth Mindset Energizer’ was a refreshing and highly interactive session that has surely empowered our team as they look towards 2023.”
