In her words, “Success is the sky that speaks to the summits within you.” Later she deliberated upon what constitutes elevated communication skills, citing the importance of unravelling figurative expression and analogies in language. The event was organised at the prestigious Manjushri Hall of PCE, and was attended by 250 students hailing from various parts of Bhutan including Thimphu and Paro.
