Other experience

Leadership Training in South Korea (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology - KAIST) A Leadership Training Programme organised by the "Common Purpose" organisation in collaboration with University of Leeds and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) which was held in Daejeon, South Korea. This year's programme was prepared around the theme of understanding the influence of Artificial Intelligence and Technology on Societies. This programme was aimed at developing general leadership skills of a handful of candidates from a highly competitive pool through attending self-development training seminars and visiting headquarters of various multinational companies. This opportunity allowed me to meet with and learn from the leaders of these companies.
