Power & Purpose<\/strong> explores the human side of global leadership. Hosted by Amanda Sloat and Nathalie Tocci \u2013 former advisors to the US President and EU High Representative turned professors \u2013 this podcast features candid conversations with senior government officials, offering an inside look at how power, values, and purpose intersect in public life.<\/p>\n

These conversations go beyond the headlines to offer a personal window into leadership at the highest levels. Guests reflect on pivotal moments, difficult decisions, and lessons learned when the stakes were high. They speak openly about their proudest achievements and missed opportunities, how they managed pressure, and what it takes to lead through complexity and uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Drawing on their own experience in government and academia on both sides of the Atlantic, Amanda and Nathalie bring insider perspectives to conversations that are as personal as they are political. You’ll hear the stories that don’t make it into official briefings.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re deeply engaged in foreign policy or simply curious about how leaders navigate impossible choices, these conversations reveal what leadership actually looks and feels like. In an era of political cynicism, Power & Purpose<\/strong> offers something rare: honest reflections from people who have chosen to serve and proof that purpose-driven leadership is still possible.<\/p>\n
