Jakarta, 24 November 2024 - Balancing time between hobbies and work can be challenging for professionals in the corporate world. To address this, the Indonesia Knowledge Forum XIII (IKF), hosted by PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) this November, includes workshop sessions designed to enhance participants' insights and support their self-development. Among the activities featured at IKF 2024 are, abstract painting workshops and body mist formulation sessions, both guided by experts in their respective fields.
Three BCA directors, Vera Eve Lim, Lianawaty Suwono, and Antonius Widodo—actively participated in the workshops, showcasing their creativity amidst their professional responsibilities. Directors Vera Eve Lim and Lianawaty Suwono attended the Mindfulness Painting workshop, guided by Bartega Co-founder Jazz Pratama. Meanwhile, Director Antonius Widodo took part in the Personalize Your Scent workshop, led by Natasha Clairine from Rumah Atsiri.
Since 2014, Vera Eve Lim has actively embraced painting as part of her weekend routine. For Vera, painting is more than a form of self-expression—it serves as a way to relieve stress and rejuvenate her mind.
“Painting allows me to take a break from the hustle and bustle of work while maintaining my mental well-being, which ultimately enhances my performance and ability to lead BCA toward positive growth. I strongly encourage leaders and the next generation to pursue positive activities that bring them joy, as this is one of the keys to achieving personal balance and success,” said Vera.
In a workshop led by Natasha Clairine, founder of Rumah Atsiri, BCA Director Antonius Widodo participated in creating a personalized perfume or body mist that reflected each participant's unique personality.. Natasha explained that when choosing a fragrance, two key factors should be considered: the scent should align with personal taste, and it should serve the desired function or purpose.
The enthusiastic participation in the various workshops at IKF 2024 demonstrates that the event is not only a platform for sharing knowledge but also a space to nurture creativity and maintain life balance. It serves as a reminder that amidst the demands of a busy routine, taking time for yourself is not a luxury but a necessity.
