This session will examine the power of relatability to drive policy. Authenticity and the power of influencers have been a significant factor in moving policy and electability in recent years. It has also shaped how leaders and politicians have engaged cultural influencers. Leaders must learn to use all tools available to build confidence and trust in the policy direction you seek.
