Message From Round Table International (RTI) President - D K Singh
OCTOBER 2020
We are now witnessing a massive change in the daily dynamics of our life. The COVID-19 crisis has hit the ‘reset’ button for all individuals. Businessmen, professionals, activists, and even policymakers are looking at these challenging mess from a new perspective. But it’s also important to note that in these testing mess, we have discovered a golden opportunity: an opportunity to leave a lasting mark on mankind through our movement. Tabling, by definition, has been created to help and assist all in such unprecedented mess. As the ‘new normal’ penetrates deeper in our lives, we have to focus relentlessly on building everlasting bonds in our community. The COVID-19 crisis has forced us to rethink how we build and maintain relationships. We would like to inspire you to build tabling in new ways. Start to focus on developing associations with fewer clubs that have the energy and vibe that match your frequency. The idea is that we should focus on quality rather than quantity. We are with you at every step. We are always ready to help you! Reach us anytime! New Iniaves by the board:

FEBRUARY 2021 Greetings from the RTI board of 2020-21. This pandemic has made us realise that we all need each other more than we think. We feel utterly privileged to be a part of RTI, a family of brothers who extend unconditional support to one another; be it in the form of help, advice, effort, or time. It is priceless to know that someone is there to hear you out in these times of distress, which makes a world of a difference. These tales deserve to be heard by all members across the globe, hence as part of RTI University we are coming up with a compilation called “Scent of Change”. It is indeed overwhelming to see tabling centres across the globe beaming with optimism. Tabling activities are resuming in most of the places, of course considering local scenario and circumstances. On behalf of the entire RTI Board, I congratulate and thank my brothers for actively taking part in the “Voice of a Tabler” survey, which gives us clear direction as to where RTI is headed. It is one of the biggest strengths of RTI that it is spread across the world making us a strong network, which has the power to make a difference. This RTI day on 14th March 2021 is an ideal date to leverage this strength by coming together for a common cause – Blood Donation. Blood donation is considered equivalent to saving a life.
MAY 2021 COVID 19 is a problem that has impacted every life on this planet in unimaginable ways. Even the most experienced and renowned institutions failed to address a solution and find their way forward. Amongst such a catastrophe, one organization emerged to create a difference in the lives of people, and the community at large. Being the President of Round Table International was a challenging task for me and my core team. We started by working on an entirely new tangent to enrich millions of lives across the globe. Key highlights of the strategy that we adopted to overcome this problem are: • Resort to tactics that work in the real world - While it is easy to quote old proven methods, this pandemic was an entirely new challenge. So, the solution also had to be realistic and executable in the real world. We ensured that regional organizations devised ways to handle the situation they were facing in respective zones, and counter them with a unique solution that was best fit for them. • Understanding Cultural Dynamics - Round Table is spread across 68 countries which becomes vast geography on this planet.
MAY 2021 • Lesser Planning but Better Execution - We knew that time is the most crucial factor right now, and every minute is of utmost importance. Hence, we reduced time on planning things and allocated more towards effective execution. That is how we could bring a larger impact across all centers of interest. • Building Stronger Emotional Connect - An order or policy can be a boring ritual, but once you can strike the right chord, getting work done becomes easy. We worked inclusively with heads of various Round Table Clubs to create an atmosphere of empathy. This is the energy that flows down to the root level making all the difference. • Appreciation & Acknowledgement to every Effort - In general, most of the appreciation is stolen away by the helm of organizations, but ultimately it demotivates the volunteers who work on ground level. There are unbelievably valuable lessons that we learnt during this crucial phase of the pandemic. I am overwhelmed by the support my team, associations, and each member of the club have extended in making this possible. We went out of our comfort zones, conquered our fears and faced this threat with courage & resilience. Hoping for a better tomorrow by Leading the Change.
JULY 2021 Being a member of Round Table, we not only serve the community – we serve ourselves. For years RTI has been instrumental in developing skills, sharing valuable knowledge and providing unique opportunities for personal growth and development. The biggest differentiator is that members get a supportive environment with like-minded friends where one can learn without any inhibitions or fear of failure. RTI gives you the edge to upgrade yourself from time to time, so that you can keep up with the everchanging world. Whatever your passion is, Round Table has friends that share the same calling as yours. They will motivate you, inspire you and drive you to be a better version of yourself. The energy and excitement are so immense, that you can’t resist to get carried away. RTI University is one such unique endeavor to promote leadership, skills and personality development in more elaborate and organized manner. Led by Jayant Agarwal, RTI university has introduced programs like leadership training, social media training, modules on the tabler world app, talk shows with visionaries, sportsmen, celebrities and illustrious tablers, etc.
JULY 2021 Round Table International magazine has been a pool of valuable information and inspiration to the members of organization for several years. Every edition covers thought-provoking articles from association members, experiences and stories that inspire, writeups from associations, and meaningful reads from writers. It also covers information on upcoming events and updates from the organization. This is just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to internal growth and development with RTI. Being a voluntary organization now it is upon you to make an effort, connect with friends across the globe who have the same passion, and inspire each other to rise and shine.
