The second edition of the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture's CEO KA Pale' was hosted on the evening of May 28th at the Sky Lounge at the Royalton Saint Lucia.
The featured Speaker was distinguished business leader Johnathan Johannes, Managing Director of Unicomer OECS and author of the highly touted book on leadership, The Exception Code. Some fifty senior executives, entrepreneurs, and business professionals gathered for an evening of riveting dialogue on leadership, its practice in the Caribbean context and organizational culture, and, of course, the book, The Exception Code.
Drawing from his book The Exception Code, Mr. Johannes shared practical insights on building exceptional workplace cultures, retaining top talent, and creating lasting customer relationships. Attendees were encouraged to reflect on how authentic leadership positively influences business performance and long-term success.
With the help of Omari Frederick as Moderator, many snippets of wisdom, personal experiences, and insights were drawn out from a self-proclaimed introvert, making for an enthralling and sometimes intense, honest conversation.
CEO Ka Parle was created, designed and developed by the Marketing and Public Relations Standing Committee under the then Chairmanship of Omari Frederick. Building on this base, the current Chair, Rankin Morgan, and the inspired Standing Committee have delivered another outstanding CEO Ka Pale'.
The CEO Ka Palé Series aims to foster a platform for the Chamber to bring together thought leaders from among its membership and hear from successful "Caribbean Leaders" who are prepared to share their journey, experiences, knowledge and wisdom with their counterparts and, most importantly, up-and-coming executives.
The Chamber says a special thank you to Members of the Standing Committee on Marketing and Public Relations, Rankin Morgan, Ellen Antoine, Leathon Khan, Kelly Mitchel, Arletta Rate-Mitchel, Sarah Leon, Genevive Downes, Kenton Augustin and Omari Frederick.
Sponsors for this edition of CEO Ka Palé, were Sagicor, Unicomer, Massy Stores, 123 Digital, St.Lucia Linens, Royalty Pools, and Maury's.
