Experience in Action Fireside Chat

A space for Global Leaders, Change makers and Entrepreneurs
to share stories that inspire real change.

Experience in Action

We believe that lived experience is one of the most powerful teachers

As part of our commitment to growing a culture of learning and purpose within our team, we run “Experience in Action”,a speaker series where inspiring leaders and entrepreneurs share their journeys, lessons, and leadership values

This series provides an intimate space for guests to speak candidly about:

  • Their personal and professional journeys
  • Lessons learned from success and failure
  • Leadership values they stand for
  • Advice for the next generation of changemakers

Our mission is to help grow reflective, values-driven leaders equipped to solve the world's challenges; starting in their own communities.
