City Hall officers attend interactive session ‘Dealing with Powerful Emotions’

KOTA KINABALU: Some sixty Kota Kinabalu City Hall officers, led by its director general, Datuk Joannes Solidau, were treated to an interactive session entitled: ‘Dealing with Powerful Emotions’ at its headquarters here yesterday.

The program, organized by Brahma Kumaris Malaysia in collaboration by Kota Kinabalu City Hall, was presented by Yogesh Sharda, an international personal development trainer and workshop facilitator from Istanbul, Turkey.

Among others, Sharda shared his experiences on how to process feelings and manage one’s emotions through meditation and visualization.

According to Sharda, feelings can sometimes run deep and remain suppressed for all the wrong reasons and can result in an emotional outburst, which can be avoided by exercising ‘self control’.

As a token of appreciation after the two-hour sharing session, Mayor Datuk Yeo Boon Hai presented Sharda with a memento, witnessed by his officers.

Meanwhile, Sharda, who is on his three-day inaugural visit to Malaysia, also paid a courtesy call on Joannes at the latter’s office.

Sharda also held a public talk on Emotional Intelligence at the Brahma Kumaris Meditation Centre here on Wednesday night, as well as a live radio interview with Sabah VFM yesterday before departing for Kuching, Sarawak.
