Alongside the workshops we provide, and the alumni network they enter upon ‘graduation’, we aim to to help our brilliant students believe in themselves and reach their full potential.We want to be able to provide some of the knowledge and confidence gained on our programme, that has worked so well for our mentees, to everyone. This is why we have launched our podcast series, where we will have frank and informative conversations with exceptional individuals, hearing about their personal and professional journeys to date.There is no script, we just want to hear about their story, the highs and lows, the good times and the bad, and all of the lessons they have learned along the way. By sharing these stories, we want to inspire our listeners to believe the truth. That everyone has the potential and ability to fulfil their dreams.
