C-Suite Talks: ''You've got to be a great communicator to negotiate.''

🎙️ We kick off our C-Suite Talks series with a candid conversation between two CEOs: Scarlett McCabe of Debate Mate and Graham Botwright of The Gap Partnership, with our expert host, Jessie Lancaster.

Scarlett shares how debating changed her life, from being a rebellious student to becoming CEO of a purpose-led business that transforms the lives of young people through the super power of debate. 

Graham talks about his experiences of leadership at youth organization Army Cadets where he headed up the debating club, to now running a global consultancy focused on negotiation. 

With Jessie deftly guiding the conversation, they explore the parallels between debate and negotiation and communication and leadership.

Highlights include:

• Being a great communicator is essential in both debating and negotiating. 
• Overcoming challenges in leadership and embracing vulnerability builds resilience and drives personal success.
• Fostering psychological safety and making mistakes is seen as an opportunity for growth. 
• Your voice is key to leading with confidence and purpose.

Tune in to hear Scarlett and Graham share their stories with Jessie.
