"This is a time where collaboration, interdisciplinary and inclusive approaches are needed to solve the current challenges. Leadership is redefined by a practical necessity of collective success. To navigate this season correctly, it requires leading from principle, not persona. It means wielding influence to mend, mentor, and magnify the voices of others, especially women and youth. I look forward to sharing reflections from my own journey, from diplomacy to the presidency, on how we can attempt to manage building a lasting legacy of collective empowerment and purposeful excellence."
— Sahle-Work Zewde, Former President of Ethiopia
