Malaysia's first woman and current Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz will share her extraordinary stories of triumph over adversity at the world's first inaugural Leadership Energy Summit Asia 2013 to be held here next month.

The two-day event, beginning Dec 3, is organised by Iclif, the leadership and corporate governance centre set up under the auspices of the Central Bank of Malaysia.

"The summit will also see other leaders and experts exploring leadership energy from the combined fields of neuroscience, quantum physics, management psychology and spiritual philosophy," Iclif said in a statement.

Among other leaders who will attend the summit are the Chief Strategy Officer at 3D Systems, Ping Fu, India's first and highest woman ranking police officer, Dr Kiran Bedi, and Dr Patch Adams, a medical doctor and a social activist.

The conference will focus exclusively on the personal sources of energy and staying power that leaders tap into at will.

"And for the first time ever, leadership will be analysed and explored using a mix of neuroscience, quantum physics, management psychology and spiritual philosophy," Iclif added.
