Heidi explains how good leadership and performance starts with the mind, body and spirit.

Curiosity and the case for lifelong learning

"Upskilling is not so much about the destination, as it is about the journey. And hence, it’s always going to be a lifelong learning concept, because it’s never about the job you are doing today; It’s always going to be about the job you will do in the future." Dean of Executive Education, Professor Sameer Hasija, shares his thoughts on the importance of lifelong learning and why having a curious mindset is key.

Confidence inspiring director development
