Building on her three decades of changemaking, convening, learning and building bridges, she discusses how to upskill for change, what are the career paths available currently and what may emerge in the future, and the many wonders and frustrations in the industry of change.

In her opinion, one of the most critical aspects of advancing impact is to work with humility and in partnerships with actors from diverse sectors and from all parts of the globe as if we want to have a chance of doing things better, we need collective learning and action.

Finally Julia will also highlights as a senior leader what she looks for in hiring and her recommendations for aspiring practitioners to be more competitive in the sector and why she loves Tik Tok so much.
