I’ll admit it — I was nervous.

Meeting an ambassador for the first time in my life was a big deal, and the honour wasn’t lost on me. In this episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Katja Nordgaard, Ambassador at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, based in Copenhagen/Denmark.

What followed was an enlightening conversation about the CARE Principles — Collaboration, Agility, Reliability, and Empathy — and why the world needs more leaders who embrace them.

We explored how these principles intersect with diplomacy, and how they can shape global policies.

Join me as we unpack what CARE really means on the international stage and why a shift in leadership is more important than ever.

Does your organization struggle with adapting the leadership style to new demands?

Deo is the CEO at the British Chambers of Commerce in Denmark, whom I met by chance.

I was invited to a private event of a Danish Association that connects Professionals of Colour in Denmark. They celebrated Deo's new professional role, and I was touched by his honest and vulnerable speech.

I asked him there and then to be the guest of my podcast and listening back to it, I find it one of the most refreshing interviews of this season as Deo talks from his heart and who he is as a private person, and not responds from what people expect from him as a professional.

A talk about self-care and the 4 CARE Principles: Collaboration, Agility, Reliability and Empathy and what leadership traits this demands from people.
