On day three of the American Express Leadership Academy in London, participants joined Jennifer Skyler, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Naomi Schiff, TV Presenter and racing driver and Paul van Zyl, co-founder of The Conduit for a panel discussion about leading beyond authority. Naomi said, "When you feel you've done all you can, don't be afraid to defer to another plan, sometimes Plan B is better than Plan A.” Paul, who like Naomi, grew up in South Africa, spoke about the Ubuntu philosophy, which means humanity towards others. Paul added, "I am because we are. We become more resilient when we draw connections between each other."
