    Matthew Maclachlan - Life Leadership Guest Sessions

    Good communication is an essential skill, not just for leadership, but for life generally. This skill is often taken for granted and our assumptions about what good communication is are often more a product of our culture than we might first realise. Matthew shares about what his guest session will be about, why understanding the cultural assumptions around communication are vital for life and leadership, as well as sharing about his background and work. Don't miss out on this session on the University of Surrey campus, February 11th 2025.

    Rachel Slough - Life Leadership Guest Sessions

    We are offering three sessions with guest speakers for international students at Surrey to develop their leadership skills. We believe this will be a session that develops your personal leadership in terms of how you lead your own life, as well as preparing you for times when you lead others. Rachel's session is all about authenticity and trust and the importance of it in all areas of life. She shares in this interview a little bit of why it is important and we hope this will help you to join us on the 2nd of December.
