An opportunity to explore entrepreneurship, success in business, and the role higher education has to play in creating the next generation of business leaders.

Our new webinar series allows for you to grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and sit down with our brightest and most influential friends and alumni. Our first guest is one of the most successful business leaders in India and the UK. Gopichand P. Hinduja, fondly known as 'GP' in business circles, joined the family business established in Mumbai by his father, the Hinduja Group, in 1959.

We regularly ask for feedback, in the form of snap shot surveys and an annual Programme Quality Review. This enables us to understand how the scheme is working and to ensure we are giving our mentors and mentees the best possible experience and development opportunities.

Thank you to all those of you who completed the feedback, it really does help.

John Peters came to the world’s attention in January 1991, when as a prisoner of war, his disfigured image became a potent symbol of Saddam Hussein’s ruthless aggression. He has written two best-selling books and the documentary, ‘Tornado Down’ was Independent Documentary of the Year and a BAFTA Award Nominee.

Since leaving the RAF, he has worked working internationally providing business critical development, consulting, and coaching through a leadership lens. Using his Gulf War, POW experience, international media exposure, award-winning Human Factors development programme in high-performance aviation, and 20 years’ consultancy experience, John challenges leaders’ approach to uncertainty, organisational learning, trust and failure.

This afternoon saw mentees from around the world gather to share their knowledge on mentoring and how they review and reflect on their sessions. We also discussed the resources on offer to WBS students and Alums. View the presentation slides here if you missed the session.

Whether you have 6months remaining, or 18 months to go …it is good practice to review and reflect.

As we begin a New Year, it’s the perfect time, to reflect on your sessions and progress to make sure you are on track in terms of goals; have they changed ? Are there other factors to consider. How are sessions going? Do any adaptations need making, have your goals changed? Do you have new topics to address?
