Presenters: Douglas Keh and David Miller

GW Parent Douglas Keh, who has worked in the United Nations system for 27 years, and David Miller, who has twenty-four years’ experience specializing in new and conflict countries with expertise in agriculture development and program management presented this webinar. The webinar functioned as an invitation to a life-long leadership journey for young and aspiring professionals who aspire to have meaningful and fulfilling international aid careers. The session aimed to grow the non-technical aspects of leadership and to help participants more effectively create from within, from others, and from their environments in an ever-changing and increasingly chaotic world. The webinar aimed to provide participants with insights and tools for how to be creative leaders rather than reactive participants throughout their careers. The workshop worked to help participants dive into their inner resources to overcome systemic barriers, create pathways for innovation and change, and capitalize on learning opportunities created by disappointment, frustration, and the failure that will be inevitable in international aid careers.
