“Hearing from those with experience”

A Panel Discussion with those who have shown Leadership

WEEK ONE

Mr Eric Phillips, Mr Joel Simpson and Ms Vanda Radzik were part of a panel discussion moderated by Mr Clinton Urling. The three spoke from a place of experience relaying their experience working in leadership positions and they ways they have managed to be successful in their organisations and their professional careers despite hurdles and challenges. The panel discussion gave way to a fruitful session where the participants of the programme asked questions of the panellists – from the question of how to balance work responsibilities with personal desires to effect change and advice for those now beginning their journeys to leadership.

Throughout their presentations the panellist highlighted attributes that the members of M.A.D. prize – the need for tenacity, the need to be unwavering in your belief, the willingness to stand up and oftentimes be vocal and the need to have a strong belief in your work. For, when those things are accomplished the journey towards Making A Difference becomes easier.
