When new perspectives change the mindset of your team.
Refugees are better prepared than most of us for the future of work & the challenges of tomorrow — they are already facing it today. Navigating unexpected crises, uncertainty & existential hardships, they have learned valuable lessons about personal & professional resilience, entrepreneurship & grit.
