GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AWARDS SPEECH GALA

I have attended 2016 SIPA Global Leadership Awards Gala took place on April 8th.

SIPA's Global Leadership Awards honor individuals who have made innovative or extraordinary contributions to the global public good. Honorees exemplify the values and qualities that SIPA strives to instill in our students, and all proceeds raised provide critical fellowship support for the next generation of global citizens and public policy leaders.

As the world's most global public policy school, its mission is both ambitious and powerfully relevant: to serve the global public interest by educating students to serve and lead by producing new knowledge on the critical public policy changes facing the global community.

Former US Secretary of State and Treasury receives SIPA Global Leadership Awards. James Baker worked on FIVE election campaigns, Baker discusses his experience "delegate hunting" at a contested convention. "It's more complicated today,"he said, our government has become dysfunctional; we can't seem to get anything done. It's become very divided. Baker also highlights his concern about protectionism. He give example of coalition building: US got a resolution from Security Council on use of force against Iraq.
In the end, Baker gave young generation one advise that is that if you're privileged to live in US, give back by voting, participate in the public system, volunteer, give to non-profits.

Christine Lagarde is the 1st female Managing Director of the IMF AND 1st female Finance & Economy Minister of a G-7 country. Lagarde encourages students to take their skills beyond their borders, go outside the US or their home country.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon did not make it the gala, but he sent a video message.
He indicated that he laid plans for a new era of peace and human progress.
He says, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change can drive historic change across the spectrum of peace, development and human rights. He encourages young leaders to continue supporting the United Nations as we rise to the challenges of our day.



"Public goods and 'public bads' know of no borders, which is why we need global leadership, says Christine Lagarde.

"Global leadership is hard work, but we do it because it is our duty and it takes us further than those borders", says Christine Lagarde.

Honoree Baker: "I'm afraid that far too many politicians these days feed into our fears rather than our hopes."

Session: “Smarter Social Storytelling | Gary Vee Interview” | linkedin.com/in/garyvaynerchuk/ Notable Quote: “Stay Agile: be ready to pivot … Be Human: focus on being empathetic … Serve: be of service to others … Play more: experiment; explore; worst thing to do is to not try new things” Gary is already so well known for this expertise in media strategy and his raw, unfiltered delivery, but this particular interview gave me a much stronger understanding of how he thinks and why his mind is so valuable. One of the most noteworthy things that Gary shed light on is how he is able to land on his insights that often feel near psychic. He explained that his main strategy is to study cycles of human habits in order to predict what should be expected in the future. The example that he gave was in response to why he so heavily advocates for collecting baseball cards. Gary’s explanation is that if you look into the generation that collected baseball cards, you will notice that they are now beco...

“The sun’ll come out tomorrow!” a famous line sung by one of the most popular Broadway shows, Annie.  A perfect way to describe the virtual conference, The Business of Broadway, held on April 21, 2020.  Hosted by the Center of Communication, a non-profit organization that connects students to creative opportunities, I excitedly grabbed the chance to join through my overworked laptop.  Lead by Willie Reale, the Executive Producer of the 52nd Street Project, he interviewed four reputable panelists: Julia Levy, Executive Director of the Roundabout Theatre Company, Vivek Tiwary, Founder and CEO of Tiwary Entertainment Group, Aaliytha Stevens, COO of SpotCo, and Eva Price, Founder and CEO of Maximum Entertainment. The first topic to take front and center of the virtual stage, was no other than the infamous COVID-19.  When asked to compare the average daily routine in the world of Broadway then and what it is now, award-winning Vivek Tiwary explained that his job has and w...

AdWeek 2018, 1 Year Later | William Howard

Image
I fully anticipated attending ADWeek 2018 as soon as I moved to New York. I did not expect AD Week 2018 to come to me. I was living on West 70th Street and AD Week 2018 was a short 3 minute walk from my bedroom, so I had the privilege of attending multiple sessions and dropping in and out as I saw fit, able to return home with ease. I attended sessions each day of ADWeek, but attended the majority on opening day. I wanted to get a wide perspective of the industry at that very moment, and was not disappointed. The first session I attended was hosted by Fer Machado, CMO of Burger King. I was sure to live tweet his session, as his focus was on the power of creativity for brands that are not the leader in their category. I left with a refreshed understanding and appreciation of risk, and the necessity of risk with regards to creativity, you cannot be a cautious creative. If your brand wants to stand out, you have to be willing to take creative risks, to get the attention your brand needs, ...
