  • The solution lies in changing the path to power, not changing ourselves.
  • Organizations must build a clear association between power and positive change.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine led to a shift in global power structures that cannot be overstated. In this talk on global politics from a seasoned journalist’s perspective, learn:
