Monaco
I'm honored to have participated in the inaugural Re.Generation Future Leaders Program, an initiative by Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco. As one of ten global young leaders, I spent two enriching weeks in Monaco, with inspiring interactions including an audience with HSH Prince Albert II himself.
This program, filled with training modules, coaching, and insightful master classes, strengthened our leadership and communication skills. We also explored the CĂ´te d'Azur's rich environment. Anticipating the ripple effect our group will create, we aim to be catalysts for systemic change, not just future leaders.
