Leadership & Business Podcast Spotlight:

Understanding Corporate Public Affairs, with Mike Lord

It's difficult to succeed in business today without having a solid grasp of public affairs, public policy, and politics. Regardless of the size of your business or sector, decisions that are made in your state capital, Washington, DC, and beyond, can greatly affect your bottom line. Learning to strategically manage corporate public affairs was the focus of a recent three-day workshop for William & Mary's Executive MBA students. The workshop took place at The Washington Campus, a non-profit, non-partisan education consortium in Washington, DC, that partners with top business schools and universities around the world.

Mike Lord is the President of The Washington Campus. He joins us on this episode to talk about public policy, public affairs, and why business leaders must be well-versed in this arena.

Diversity Goes to Work Podcast Spotlight:

Conscious DEI Leadership, with Marika Messager

Here at the Raymond A. Mason School of Business, we spend a lot of time grappling with the question of: What does it mean to produce business graduates who make a broader societal impact? What does it mean to be about business for the greater social good? And how do you do that?

This episode's guest has a few ideas and brings a great research-oriented perspective to this conversation. She says it all comes back to consciousness. Today's guest is Marika Messager, a consciousness researcher, teacher, advisor, a widely regarded public speaker, and CEO and Founder of consciousleadership.org.
