It’s broadened her perspective and directly engaged her in some of the world's biggest topics. She seems like a stakeholder now — someone who is directly engaged with the biggest issues of our time, and has enough knowledge and ideas to feel like she can meaningfully contribute.
She was given a lot of input stimulation and ideas, but also a lot of space and licence to be super creative and to get in there and develop a point. I'm finding it much harder to win those discussions over the dinner table now because I'm being met not just with a point of view, but one that's backed up with evidence and data.
Look at the content. Look at the style of teaching. Look at the calibre of the people to that blend of topics and expertise. It's a unique opportunity.
