Each of us has a story of a mentor that has changed the course of our lives as young people. As we speak about the coming generation of young people poised to pursue opportunity, what has inspired and unlocked potential in leaders across sectors? As we listen to their stories, what can we learn from how different mediums shape our stories and transmit crucial messages at a scale to achieve impact?
Note: this is an interactive session and attendees are encouraged to share their own personal stories in response to the theme.
