Learnings from the Classroom: How Teaching Shapes Careers with Impact

Before they became active in business, politics, and the social sector, they stood in front of a classroom. In this panel, former teachers share how teaching children shaped the way they work today. From navigating complexity to building trust, from crisis management to purpose-driven work — the classroom was a shaping experience in leadership.
This session is a deep dive into the skills and mindsets that teaching can cultivate — and why our classrooms might hold more answers for the future of work than we think.
What we’ll explore:

• Teaching as a driver of leadership and resilience

• How classroom experience translates into business, government, and civil society

• What today’s jobs can learn from the mindset of great educators
