Smart Quest Pvt Ltd marked its 20th anniversary with an intimate evening at Cinnamon Life, Colombo, bringing together clients, partners, faculty and leaders from more than 30 organisations across Sri Lanka’s corporate landscape.
The milestone event reflected on two decades of leadership development, coaching and organisational transformation, while introducing Smart Quest’s next chapter through the launch of The Growth Circle and the pre-launch edition of ‘Rooted: In Stillness He Taught Me Everything About Leadership’, the first book by Smart Quest Founder and Director Andrea Jayatilleka.
A key highlight of the event was the inaugural Growth Circle, a facilitated team experience designed to build trust, shared language and conscious leadership. Co-facilitated by Andrea Jayatilleka and Murshid Munshif, the session invited participants into a reflective conversation structured around five layers of growth, inspired by neurological levels of thinking and the concept of the “Still Point” referenced in Rooted.
“Twenty years ago, we started with a belief that the right development, at the right time, changes people. Tonight reminded us why that belief is worth everything. Over the years, we have seen individuals grow into stronger leaders, teams find new ways to work together and organisations unlock potential they may not have fully recognised before. As we mark this milestone, we are deeply grateful to every client, partner, faculty member and team member who has been part of our journey. The next chapter for Smart Quest is about continuing to create spaces where people can reflect, connect and grow with greater intention,” said Andrea Jayatilleka, Founder and Director of Smart Quest.
The evening also marked the pre-launch of Rooted: In Stillness He Taught Me Everything About Leadership, presented by Michelle de Silva. In a deeply personal moment, Andrea handed the first copy of the book to her mother, in tribute to the late J. Claude Baldsing, whose life and values inspired the book.
