Leading with Impact: A Career Dialogue with Ambassador Samantha Power

How do you turn conviction into action—and lead with impact in a world that’s constantly changing?

Join us for an engaging Career Chat with Ambassador Samantha Power, Professor of the Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School and Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID, 2021–2025), as she reflects on a career defined by purpose, courage, and global impact.


From her beginnings as a journalist covering human rights crises to her leadership at the helm of USAID, Ambassador Power has spent her life confronting some of the world’s toughest challenges. In this candid conversation, she’ll share insights on what it takes to stay true to your values while driving meaningful change—from navigating public service and international diplomacy to leading with empathy and results.


This event is a must-attend for anyone interested in international affairs, public service, human rights, or building a career that bridges ideals and impact.


Please note: Attendance is limited to Harvard ID (HUID) holders. Registration is required, and space is limited—once capacity is reached, we will be unable to accept additional registrants. This session will not be recorded.
