CELD’s Women Leadership Development Training Program – July 2013
The training was very interactive, informative and very educative, the trainers carried all the trainees along. We enjoyed all the sessions and the networking was first class. I have added a lot of contacts from this programme and bringing the training to Dubai to a 1st class hotel was an experience especially for first timers. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the organizer CELD and especially the team that came with us to Dubai, uncle Sam, Sheba Alhamdu and Kembet for a job well done.
I wish them the best in all their future endeavours God bless and keep the flag flying

The training was very lively. Everyone in the training session participated adequately as a lot of ideas and theories were taught. The interactive nature of the training was superb while the conducive atmosphere chosen for the training was wonderful which facilitated easy comprehension of lessons learnt.
I hope a similar training will be organized very soon to ginger our women who are especially shy to conduct public speaking like myself, because that is the part that intrigued me the most. More grease to your elbow and long live CELD.

The Centre for Economic and Leadership Development has really tried in organizing a fabulous workshop
For women leaders. Actually it is the first international training that I have ever attended and it was really worth the trouble, infact I would not miss it for anything, it has changed my perception for international conferences. I thought those conferences were just money making avenues for the organizers, but CELD has changed my thought, infact I think they did not make any monetary gain out of this event. They treated us well, took us to the best hotel in the world. The Conference was an eye opener for most of us. It gave us an opportunity to meet many nice people. A very big bravo to you all at CELD and we look forward to receiving another future invitation from you guys. It has been nice knowing you all at the centre.
