Welcome to the FIE Podcast. We're really excited to present the first of our Student Global Leadership podcast series. As many of you may already know, FIE hosts the Student Global Leadership Conference, or SGLC, every spring in conjunction with our Leadership London program with the goal of inspiring students and giving them the tools to become effective global leaders now and in their future endeavors. This year the conference took a slightly different turn due to COVID-19 as we pivoted online, but as a result, we had our highest turnout ever. With the incredibly appropriate theme of “Leadership for Change in an Uncertain World” as guidance, this year’s speakers and keynotes had a lot of thoughts and insights, so we’re excited to make things even more accessible by continuing to share the conference highlights through this podcast. We’re going to kick off this series the same way we kicked off the conference, with a keynote from Dr. Cath Bishop. Dr. Bishop is an Olympian, former diplomat, and business coach. Cath now works as a business consultant, leadership coach, and author, and teaches on Executive Education programs at the Judge Business School, Cambridge University and is a Visiting Professor at Surrey Business School. If you’re as inspired as we are and want to dive even deeper into this way of thinking then be sure to pick up Cath’s first book ‘The Long Win: the search for a better way to succeed’, which just came out this past October. It can be found on Amazon, and we’ll link it in our show notes. If you still need more, Dr. Bishop has also done a successful Tedx Talk that we’ll link for you. I hope you’ve enjoyed the first of our leadership podcast series, and can’t wait to introduce you to another great speaker next time. 

FIE is back with the second of our Student Global Leadership Conference podcast series. Next up is the incredible Judy Ling Wong who served as a keynote speaker for the second SGLC in a row because she’s just that good! Judy Ling Wong is a painter, poet, and environmentalist best known as the Honorary President of the Black Environment Network. She has an international reputation as the pioneer and creator of the field of multi-cultural participation in the built and natural environment. Judy is always a joy to listen to, encouraging us to think a little differently and motivating us along the way. So sit back and enjoy Judy’s 2021 keynote speech titled Leadership at a time of Crisis in an Uncertain World.

Hello and welcome to our final episode of the first season in the Student Global Leadership podcast series. Today we're pleased to re-introduce Eve Alcock and her session titled Empowering Women as Leaders. We first met Eve on the Changing Leadership panel in episode 3, but she also presented her own individual presentation which was a conference favorite. A key disclaimer, there are 3 one-minute breaks starting at the 18-minute mark which allowed conference participants to participate in the activities as part of the discussion. If you want to skip ahead or don’t need a whole 60 seconds, just fast forward about 1 minute.  What an interesting and inspiring session, with some key thoughts not just for women but for everyone. Eve hosts her own podcast called  Rise Up which we’ll link to in our show notes if you want to hear more from Eve. And with that, we wrap up the first season of the Student Global Leadership podcast series. Stay tuned for more podcasts from FIE around leadership, study abroad, internships, and best practices. For now, a fond farewell from all us here at FIE.Eve Alcock - Rise Up podcast
