What participants say

“The course focused on business leadership and innovation, with novel approaches to strategic thinking that are directly relevant to the challenges we face in a multinational environment. This was an engaging, challenging, and enjoyable programme that has had a lasting impact on my approach to leadership and innovation.”

Adrian McNamara, R&D Director, Boston Scientific

 

“The experience was a place to be your true self, a sanctuary where you could be open and vulnerable without fear of consequence. There was learning and richness in every conversation among participants, academics and visiting guest leaders. The KBS faculty have certainly created something unique and inspiring.”

Ambrose Downey, Chief People Officer, Vitalograph

 

“This is a great opportunity to get external perspective. It can be difficult sometimes to see beyond your own organisation, but this is a great space to get that external perspective from other like-minded individuals”

Aidan Considine, Strategy Director, Fidelity Investments.

 

“Great experience and a great opportunity to learn from the group (of academics, other leaders etc.), to get advice from the group and to build relationships with the group which you can lean on in the future. It’s a privilege to be in a room with like-minded individuals – it's lonely at the top.”

Lauren Hurson, Director of Fund Management, Northern Trust

 

“As a female leader it can be challenging to have the confidence to step into leadership roles, and not change who you are, but Wisdom in Action, while thought provoking and insightful, also provided tangible tools to help you align on who you wanted to be as a business leader, and how to map a path to get there.”
